Android app that will translate Thai
I have some cooking packages (spices and such) that are in Thai and so are the instructions and ingredients. Is there an app where I can shoot a picture of the script and have it translated?

doesn't do it - says it will recognize landmarks and QR codes and limited language - but Thai isn't one of them
Translate (app) allows one to take a picture and translates the text (or so it says - it didn't work very well for Japanese but at least it was an option), but the photo option is not available for Thai. I'm hoping there is another app like it that is available for Thai (to English)

Photo Translator includes Thai as one of the 4 languages in the free version although I haven't had really good results from it. You may need to block out some text in the photo and try only a few lines at a time, as I've achieved some passable translations using it that way.
I usually resort to typing the Thai script into Google translate and getting the result that way.
