If you spend some more time in Thailand there are some interesting courses you might want to try out, e.g. learning traditional Thai massage, Thai cooking, Meditation or the Thai language.
Thai cooking There are quite a large number of courses to attend. Probably the best, but rather expensive is the Oriental Hotel Thai Cooking School. They offer five-day courses under the direction of a well-known chef.n Phone: 439-7587, Soi Oriental, Thanon Charoen Krung. Also the Landmark Hotel offers a five-day course. Phone 254-0404 ext. 48. For alternative possibilies contact a travel agency.
Meditation A lot of farang (foreigners) come to Thailand to take part in meditation courses. Bangkok is definitely not the best place. A few places offer courses, but I recommend to go to the south, e.g. Suan Mokkh near Chaya if you are really interested in it.
Thai Language Courses Several language courses in Bangkok offer courses in Thai language. The most famous by far is the American Alumni Association (AUA) at Thanon Ratchadamri. It is also easy to find private teachers. Beginners can buy audio materials at every Asia Bookshop. As follows some addresses:
Traditional Thai Massage The Traditional Thai Medicine school located at Wat Pho offers 10-days courses for about 150 $-US. You can really learn how to give 1-2 hours basic Thai massage. Your loved ones will be most grateful to become your "victim". Hint: A few staff members of this school have opened up their own massage school on Khao San Road, the Backpacker centre.
