Save your money and throw a big party for BTF members....
But if you do insist on throwing away your valuable dosh, there are quite a few language centres at Ramkhamhaeng Road (BCC, Siam Language).
But don't expect miracles.....

"Rian luang chan chan aray yang ni : "Ding dang Dung"
That was the awesome result of the first course in BCC Victory Monument!! Ding Dang dung meaning Drink drank drunk I guess.
No miracle indeed... Yet she started this week a school around Big C by the WTC which name sounds similar to Wyneybert. After two days she's much more enthusiastic and can come up with a few sentences over the phone.
Is there any hope she starts speaking half decent broken english?? The carrot for her is I'll prolly be able to get her a more interesting job after or even without technical studies in my field. Plus even by herself she'll obviously get better opportunities...
What's wrong with me?

I've met the owners of BCC and the head managers and they are nincompoops. That is to say, non-academics who don't know anything about the time-tested skills of teaching English as a foreign language which places like Cambridge U devote entire departments to. The fact that they'd allow someone to teach the 3 tense forms of a verb like drink drank drunk on a student's first day verifies my first impression. How relevant! Can you spell fluency? What about communicative relevance?
You want your GF to be able to listen and speak, not to be able to chant off meaningless duck sounds just like she probably learned in her Thai primary school.
I think you'll have better luck with more qualified teachers, such as (as a poster mentioned ) AUA, etc. Look up CELTA on google and find out which schools specialize (there are only 2 in BKK), and then you'll know which are just sticking warm white bodies in the classroom on the presumption of a "native speaker". But this will be a bit more expensive than BCC.
However the good thing that will come out of this class is she'll be exposed in some way to a lot of vocabulary which her own motivation will decide how it's used. Also she may meet some friends to go shopping with.

Seajohn,
the BCC "dinddandung" wasn't actually he result of the first day... but of a ten days course! I sure can see your point!!
Now she's on her second day of this school (wineybert??) and it it seems much better. 7000bahts for a 60 hours course from what I understand. OK.Can actually afford more if the school is worth and if she's motivated - mother is spending 22000 bht per term for a week end class in Rahmkamheng Uni and that's a major waste of money!
She came up fter her second day with basic sentences which indeed seems much more usefull, especially that I'd like her to go and do basic work with some indian friends in BKK where she could actually learn a ot - both about english and business
