Has some useful phrases too but not much help in pronouncing them. Would be great to have some sound clips to hear how it's pronounced.
In my military years, before I would go on an overseas trip, I would try to learn some of the language. I found that, even if I got it wrong, I usually received a smile & always was treated better than my buddies who just pointed at things & spoke broken english overly loud to get what they wanted.

You can hear right pronunciation for most words (spoken by Thai native speaker) learn some basic phrases... I used this site for my first steps into Thai language.
But then again in Pattaya your English accompanied by a lot of THB will get you anywhere.

p.s.
Page about prices is all wrong, 700 THB for short time on Soi 6.. yeah right, maybe for some extra movie star but not for regular P4P lady …

Once you have passed the basic, it gets more interesting

Thanks to you too Woof. I had thought about Rosetta Stone but it seems there are so many free resourceson the internet, that I wanted to start there first.

The best way, unless you have a teacher (real or whore), is to get recorded lessons. Trying to write Thai using the English alphabet is a waste of time for anyone who doesn't already know the words.
I learnt alot from the Pimsleur audio language courses (1 to 30), but it can be quite boring but it's far better than Rosetta Stone and many others. I used to listen to them on the way to and from work. Each lesson is approx. 28-30 minutes in length and in MP3 format.

woo-ah gae gin ya on,, bull old eat young grass, u bull old eat young grassers know just what im poot mahking about u really do
learning thai u ask ? give it a try it can be fun n your brain gets fantastic cardio when u learn a new language, which is why so many thank me for my contributions on the forum in boomglish.
gin kee bee nown= eat shit fuck sleep, every culture has figured out its highest post Albert Camus absurdist life view ,,even the thais. eat sleep shit n fuck is universal and as we all learn even without albert=practicality wins out.
thai is so weird, even the common ''mai ow'' which translates to ''no want'' or more clearly ''no'', when said with just the ow means fuck, try ''ow ow mai'' sometime, youll get a laugh surely.
and surey youll meet a girl name Bee there right, well Bee means fuck in thai slang. its kind of odd a parent nick names there kid fuck but they do, it just probally means the kings trumpet, but thats be not bee.
and finally good ol fuck soup, a personal favourite as i luv pumpkin and its seeds, its actually fuck tong but fuck soup is what u will hear locals say.

There's a vegetable similar to a yam called a "fug yoo". Mildly amusing at the market
