I studied the first two modules at Piammitr and would highly recommend it. However, the books (which i have) are not particularly useful for self-study. You could do far better by picking up Teach Yourself Thai (Smyth) or Thai for Beginners (Becker). The value of the Piammitr experience is in the guided conversation with the Thai instructor. For example the books at Piammitr (entry level) all use a phonetic transliterated Thai which will confuse both you and your Thai partner. Don't bother, get a good basic Thai book and get to work.

I am planning to go to Piammitr next year based on posts from members of this forum. They were very responsive in my correspondence with them and from afar them seem to be a quality institution.

They do not assist w/ visas other than sending a letter to immigration. While I am fine with this (they are a school, not a visa processing shop). When I really dug into this you have to be on at least 60day TRs to make any use of the place.

I also want(ed) to go - maybe next May
