phood Thai mai dai ("speak Thai cannot" can also be rephrased as "I don't/can't speak Thai", there's not much grammar in the Thai language, unlike English. For example, there is no has, have, had, has been etc.)

To answer the question, "I DO know how to speak Thai" you have several options which depend on who you are.
There are many words for "I" in Thai which depend on whether or not the speaker is male, female, speaking to an elder or younger person, speaking with friends, etc. Picking the polite and formal words for male and female "I":
male speaking: Phom poot Thai dai = I speak Thai can (able to)
female speaking: Chun poot Thai dai = I speak Thai can (able to)
There are tones involved here as well:
Phom = rising tone (spoken as if asking a question)
Chun = rising tone
Poot = falling tone (spoken in an arcing manner high to low)
Thai = middle tone (normal speaking voice, stay in middle tone)
Dai = falling tone
I left the original response intact above to correct the statement that "there's not much grammar in the Thai language." Since grammar refers to the rules for the standard use of words, then of course Thai has grammar and it could be argued that there are even more grammatical rules for Thai than English (there is an entirely different set of words and speech when speaking to Thai Royalty). Just because verbs are not conjugated (have, has, had, has been, etc.) does not mean there is "less grammar" or less complexity. One Thai word may have 5 different meanings depending on the tone used. English obviously does not have this with which to deal. Thai uses "time words" to indicate or reference past, present and future, so this is merely a different set of rules (grammar) for a different language.
You would say "ผมรู้พูดภาษาไทย" in Thai, which is pronounced as "phom ru phood paa-saa Thai".

You can say "คุณพูดภาษาอังกฤษได้หรือไม่?" (pronounced: kun poot saa ang-grit dai mai) which translates to "Can you speak English?" in Thai.
You can say "ฉันพูดภาษาไทยไม่เก่ง" (Chan poot paa-sa Thai mai eng). This translates to "I don't speak Thai very well" in English.
