I'm learning Thai and would like to organize my memorization of vocabulary into categories. For example, I'd like to make a list of 20 common pieces of furniture in a house or 20 body body parts or 25 verbs used in sports. Those are just examples. I can easily translate English to Thai for my studies so is anyone aware of any web sites that have words like this already made into categories?

Of course I could make these on my own in time, but it would be nice to find ready made lists.

I have experimented with thematical lists in other languages and I have dropped the idea. If you do want to learn all the words on a thematical list then just take a few items at a time, otherwise you will become confused and start mixing them up.

And if you really want to learn a lot of words about a specific theme then find something with more background information - for instance a specialized magazine, something like a field guide or a novel written by a nerd.

This.
if there are two words you can put in the same sentence and it remains meaningful, chances are you'll mix them up.
