The written language has undergone little change since its introduction in 1283. Inscriptions from the Sukothai era can be read by modern Thai readers.
Not so with English, there's Old English (1000 AD) that only hardcore language nerds can decipher. Middle English (1300s) is barely understandable for me — I might be about to pick out 1/3 of the words. Modern English works, but when I speak it, a lot of people can't understand because my accent.
