This paper tested two types of comprehension problems of Thais in reading English: those resulting from grammatical structures, and those resulting from the types of information called for in the answers.Results showed that the two types of grammatical structures causing greatest number of errors for Thais were those departing from the expected English patterns, and those which called for retaining an idea when there were interrupting elements in the sentence. The two greatest causes resulting from nature of the responses than ideas, and an inability to draw inferences. The Americans had the same major problems but to a much lesser degree.
