                    This article aims to study Thai Traditional Medicine wisdom or knowledge, particularly the custom of
                writing and the Phra Khamphi Dhatuvinitchai, an important Thai traditional medical scripture that has not
                been transliterated and published before. It was found that the Dhatuvinicchaya text was likely to be recorded
                in the Rattanakosin Period (late 19th century, A.D.). It can be divided into three sections, as follows: (1) The
                opening section, a prayer paying respect to the teacher or the Buddhist Triple Gems. (2) The content, covering
                two parts -the principles of Thai traditional medicine and the Thai traditional pharmacopeia. The content of
                this section is characterized by the beginnings and endings, that indicate its different importance. (3) The
                summary of the contents and the date that the text transcription or copying was finished. As for the
                arrangement of the content, the text is divided into three volumes; volume 1, describing the characteristics of
                the elements (dhatu) in the body; volume 2, covering the basic knowledge of herbs; and volume 3, dealing
                with Thai pharmacopeia or drug formulas for creating diseases and symptoms. The content arrangement were
                undertaken as per the traditional medical principles and also supporting content with more details to clarity
                the primary content. Moreover, the order of importances of the content is continuous as necessary for the
                study of Thai traditional medicine. In sum, the custom of writing the Dhatuvinitchai Thai traditional medical
                text has a specific style and the content is arranged according to the importance of the topics for Thai
                traditional medical practitioners to learn.
