If you use thailatex without a preprocessor, you get similar bad word
breaks.

The C70 encoding is a special solution for cjk-enc.el; contrary to
(almost all) other Cxx encodings, it doesn't need CJK's font selection
mechanism.

Yes, some years ago I invested a lot of time (and I mean *a lot* of
time) to set up everything for the CJK package within TeXLive.

Thailatex is a rather recent addition to CTAN inspite of its age.
IIRC, it wasn't present three years ago. Karl Berry has added the
font part of thailatex to TeXLive in 2009, but it seems to be a
non-trivial issue to do the rest: Currently, the LaTeX files of
thailatex are in `$TEXMF/source' only.
I suspect the main problem is the dependency on a new binary, namely a
Thai word separator program (not part of thailatex itself) which must
be available on all platforms TeXLive supports. However, looking into
the thailatex SVN repository, I see that Theppitak is doing a lot of
work recently, so maybe things are moving.
