In my opinion, none of the above.

In your circumstances I'd suggest you start with the Pimsleur course.

However, in reality, if you don't have a native Thai speaker to correct your pronunciation you're not going to make very much progress.

If at all possible, find a Thai class in your area.

Really easy, just skip the parts where you write back in phonetic thai. You don't need to learn his made up language, just thai letters.

took me 2 weeks to learn the alphabet with his book and with his second book im finaly learning vocabulary

I guess you weren't paying that much attention. It's "her", not "his". She's not a dude.

Did the OP ever meet anyone who successfully learned Thai with any of those methods?
