I've had a similar problem with Serbian.  My solution is on:

  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-devel-list/2005-September/msg00000.html

Basically, I define a string containing Serbian alphabet in
alphabetical order, and use that to numerate stuff. It won't work with
decomposed characters, but it should work for a fairly wide number of
cases (and it seems it would work for Thai: just remember to replace
30 with alphabet length as well). 

I'd like it if someone made this more "general" (i.e. you just call a
template with "alphabet" string -- there is another XSL function which
can be used to calculate string length so you don't need to hardcode
it as I did [30 in my case]).
