Recommend Me Thai Language Schools Near Silom / Sathorn

[Mondulkiri]

Hi

I've recently moved to Bangkok and am very keen to start learning Thai. I've looked at the excellent 'Best Thai language schools' thread on here, but it's enormous and kinda daunting, so I'm hoping for some more specific recommendations. This is what I'm looking for:

- As close as possible to Silom Soi 9 / North Sathorn, ideally within walking distance or a quick easy journey even in rush hour.

- Two evenings per week, ideally from about 18:00-20:00, and maybe also a class on a Saturday or Sunday.

- Small class (maybe 5-6 students) rather than one-on-one tuition.

- Absolute beginner level. I will be in Thailand for a while, so I'd like to learn to read and write as well as speak Thai. I've also heard that this is the best way to approach learning the language if you're serious about ultimately getting to a high level. I have lots of Thai colleagues to practice with, and am prepared to put in the hours studying out of class. I'd really like to get up to speed with speaking and understanding as quickly as possible.

I know there are some really experienced and knowledgeable people on here, so it would be great to hear your recommendations.

Thanks!

Two in that area I know of are:

Everyday Thai which is near Chong Nonsi BTS

and

TLS which is near Sala Daeng BTS

Google them and they should come up.

Good luck!
