Hello - Sorry if this is not the correct forum for this post. I am new to this discussion deal and not sure where to post this question/topic. Anyone here have up-to-date information on any good thai language courses/companies in the bkk area? I will be in bkk for several weeks and would like to study thai while I am there. Any information on courses, costs, quality of intstruction, etc would be most appreciated.

cheers!

It happens that I studied at one of the ones Kent mentioned,

http://www.aaathai.com/ (Advance Alliance Academy Thai Language Center / BTS Chitlom)

15 hours/week, skillful instruction for beginners, cost just 5700 Baht, as I recall, for four weeks.

Your chance to learn some Thai, fast, and to meet some nice people (my classmates were mainly from Japan).

Many thanks for the additional resource. I just looked at this link and I see some very good potential resources. This was not in Kent's post - a very good and timely addendum!

Ooooooooooooooops! I just reviewed Kent's post again and this link IS there. I must have skimmed over it in my rush to view websites. I still appreciate your reply and all the helpful information I have received.
