There are 74 living languages used in Thailand. This is an estimate of the percentage of people who use these principle languages at home.
Thai 31% Central
Isaan 23% Northeastern
Nan 9% North
Pak Thai 8% South
Malay 5% South
Chinese 1.5% (Chaochow dialect)
Thai is taught in school in all areas but not used in everyday conversation except in the central area including Bangkok.

The main language spoken by Thais is the Thai language. However, many can speak English most specially in those business areas. Those in the hospitality service, most of them can speak other languages too, like French, Chinese, Japanese and other languages! You will never be lost in Thailand. They can speak you language!

Like everyone else stated, they speak "thai." It is important to note though, that not all "thai" is the same as there are regional differences. The main language is central (krungthep / bangkok) thai and there are differences with the language spoken in the northeast, referred to as Issan. Also, in the northeast, near the Laos border, many thai people also speak Lao and vice versa.
If you are attempting to learn to speak the thai language, classes and Rosetta etc.. teach the central thai language.

Native Language - Thai
Second Language - Chinese and English
Second language is NOT official. Most of Thai people are from Chinese family, but not all of them can speak chineses.
The language is Thai - NOT Siam.
The country's official name was Siam until 24 June 1939. It was again called Siam between 1945 and May 11, 1949, when it was again changed by official proclamation. The word Thai means "freedom" in the Thai language.

Thai is the main language but English is spoken by those working in hotels. Most important be friendly. If you're shopping, a calculator always helps.

Thai is the main language, though English is considered the secondary language of the high class and educated. (Very few people speak fluent English.)
