If it's all question marks, you did not select the correct encoding for the subtitle file. (If it were all squares, you wouldn't have selected an adequate font.)

Sorry, I don't understand the Thai alphabet, and I have no clue what character encoding your subtitles are made with.

Recheck the encoding. Something is buggy there. While I don't understand the Thai language, I'm sure a bunch of ??? isn't good. Is the Thai language encoding from a good source?
