I agree with you about "Teach Yourself Thai" by David Smyth, I found it to be a good choice . It is very advanced and challenging. I had previously attended one on one classes and had mastered (I use this term loosely) speaking thai (as well as farangs can) using transliteration but was never able to progress any further or read or write thai script. Teach Yourself Thai is brilliant for this leap.

I have never had much luck with interactive software, I found Courage Software the best of a bad bunch.

Though I found Thai Language e-Learning to be a great interactive web based programme freebee.
