Upgraded site is not in UTF8? My one isnt

I have 1.39 ZC in utf 8. When i upgraded to 1.5 i used completely new file set and old database

Somehow my site is not in UTF8 now and the thai characters are not showing.

What do i need to do? I think the files should all be standard but anyway its not working

Ive seen notes to change older versions to utf8 but not this new version. What can i do please?

I already went to phpadmin and changed the collation to utf unicode and have checked the database everythign there is set to utf unicode

The start of my databse looks like this

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS module_version_tracker;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS module_version_tracker (
ID int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
module_code varchar(255) NOT NULL,
patch_level int(10) NOT NULL,
version_name varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ID),
UNIQUE KEY module_code (module_code)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS vft_address_book;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS vft_address_book (

Hi
Im not getting this because the link says

Also edit your two configure.php files to set DB_CHARSET to 'latin1' instead of 'utf8'
(add the line if it doesn't exist):
define('DB_CHARSET', 'latin1'); 

Ive looked in my (1.5 configure files) and also in a freshly downloaded old 1.3.8 file set in the config files... theres no mention of DB_CHARSET so where should i add it?

As it says: "add the line if it doesn't exist".

To "add the line" means: press Enter to make a new line, and on that line simply paste or type the text as instructed
