Answer 1

It's not working because Thai characters are Unicode characters. Sadly, Javascript has no built in Unicode regex functionality but there is a great plugin that does the trick:

XRegExp - The one of a kind JavaScript regular expression library

Check out the documentation for the usage of XRegExp.

Finally, I counted the thai language without XRegxp, I'm modifying minWords plugin using the same method from jquery.wordcount.js. Here's the complete modified script:

jQuery.validator.addMethod('minWords', function(value, element, params) {
    return !$(element).val() || $(element).val().split(/[\s\.\?]+/).length >= params;
}, 'Please enter at least {0} words.');

Here's the regular expression:

split(/[\s\.\?]+/)
