Living in Bangkok for a month and wanted to know if anyone can point me in the direction of a place where i could play piano...music school with practice rooms...anything of that type would be fantastic.

Maybe you can contact one of the music conservatories in Bangkok (Yong Siew Toh is probably most famous) to see if there are any practice rooms available during the week.

Or contact one of the international schools that have music programs. Some of these have lots of pianos, not all of which are used constantly.

You might have to pay a fee, but see if you can contact a teacher at one of these places to find out more. That's what I'd do.

Anton,

Many of the major shopping malls... Central and The Mall ... have private music schools within them. Think on the lines of an English school, but these teach music.

Most companies are open to rent a room to you if it is available. You will have to negoiate the fee, and if you know someone that can speak Thai, I recommend you take them. Otherwise it may not happen. If you are interested in a practice room with piano outside of the commercial realm, that may be somewhat more difficult but not impossible.

Hope this helps.

Shopping malls and hypermarkets are rife with private music schools.
