If you want office Thai, enrol in a language class
If you want bedroom Thai, get a faen 
Meanwhile, explore those thai-language books in kino or borders. They should tide you through for a awhile, while you look for a class or a faen. |
lol, saliva to lubricate the tongue... but i do concur it works wonders in the language advancements. many i'm sure can attest to it too.
meanwhile, i really must add that learning through reading/writing thai can hasten the process by leaps n bounds too. for there'd never be a perfect phonetic transliteration to the sounds & intonation, none except gaining insights in its original form.
thai music appreciation is also another form of leisure learning process that helps in comprehending, though the lyrical form of the language is often more poetic... n may not always be practical in day to day conversations.
bedroom language aka body language, i believe is international.... hehehe
