Many ordinary Thais have a very limited knowledge of English, and I think that learning some basic Thai words and phrases, together with the numbers, can be quite helpful in everyday situations. One way to do this is to pick up a Thai phrase book at a local bookstore, for example D.K. Books on soi Post Office. Most bookstores also have a selection of dictionaries and more advanced language books.

I swear by Its4thai.com. First few lessons are free,others are cheap and it's great. I constantly get people telling me how good my Thai and accent is and is helping me be conversational...however, you have to put the time into it.

 

I also use Learn Thai and Language Hostess, both good for refreshers on break at work on my android phone. Language Hostess has hot Thai women :)

Some years ago I used an earlier edition of this Lonely Planet Thai phrase book, which can be ordered from Amazon.com and other sources:

Another small book that should be mentioned here is Robertson's Practical English-Thai Dictionary, which can be helpful to both tourists and beginning language students. This is also available from Amazon and other suppliers.

Iphone app Talking Thai-English-Thai Dictionary by paiboon is an AWESOME app. you can download it in full (i.e. it uses no data so you don't need to be connected to a plan or wifi), and it speaks in the language.

 

All i know who have it think it's the best thing ever. I'm buying it. It's $30 at the app store

not to burst any bubbles here but... if thai people are always telling you how "gheng" you speak thai language dont believe it. thais tell you that you speak well because you can say khop khun khrap. trust me most of the time they are just being polite.

A further book that could be helpful is Conversational Thai in 7 Days (with 2 cd:s) by David Smyth & Somsong Buasai:
