It's in the right place IMHO.

Assuming that selecting `Thai' as the language environment activates
thai-forward-word and thai-backward-word, I suggest something like
this:

  forward-word and backward-ward now also work for Thai text if the
  `Thai' language environment is active.  The functions
  thai-forward-word and thai-backward-word are mapped to forward-word
  and backward-word, respectively.  Another useful function (defined
  in thai-word.el) is thai-break-words which inserts a separator
  string at word boundaries.

Uh, oh, I hope Ken'ichi-san can help!  I don't know how to do that.
It seems to me that the `setup-function' property in the
language-info-alist for Thai would be the right place for a hook.
