Abstract
By comparing the eye movement data of Thai students reading Chinese texts with or without marks for word boundaries, the researcher has found that: (1) To Thai students, the Chinese words represent more Psychological reality than Chinese characters. (2) The reading efficiency of Thai students could be immensely improved by inserting word boundary marks. It is, therefore, suggested that when publishing Chinese textbooks intended for Thai students, we adjust the way we do typesetting today and insert word boundary marks into the text.
