I appreciate the lead. I checked the website and I only see that they teach Thai. Any other suggestions for where a Thai girl could learn English?

Cris,
The Thai department is a tiny part of AUA. They were founded to teach English to Thais, and most of the very large building is dedicated to that purpose. You and your GF should go to see them. Besides Thai, I believe they also offer Japanese, but, again, the program is tiny compared to the English offering
There are literally thousands of places that teach English to Thais, visible from every Skytrain platform, and advertised all over the place. Currently, Wall Street is pretty popular, but it's a huge commercial enterprise.
Check out AUA a bit more carefully. They are old, established, successful, and I believe, not too expensive.

I did finally discover the English classes they offer. My friend went there and signed up. I guess they have 15 levels, 2400 baht per level. I think it worked out to about 100 baht per hour or less. Thanks for the info

Report from Bangkok Post dated Saturday 5 June 2010 :-
Speaking the lingo - Language school offers a fun and easy way to learn Thai
==================================================
Foreigners coming to live in Thailand may find living here a tad uncomfortable or even difficult if they cannot speak Thai.
Many say there are obstacles preventing them from doing so - finding a Thai teacher, locating the best Thai language school, giving it a try only to be discouraged by the many tones - and give up in the end.
These are some of the reasons why "Sumaa Language and Culture Institute" was founded.
Established in November 2005, the institute has been offering standard Thai language courses which aim to ensure that students will be able to communicate in a proficient, natural manner and with confidence.
"Our aim is to make Thai language learning fun and easy," said Sasithorn Pityaratstian, principal of the institute. "We designed our courses to be simple for everyone and practical. We hope our foreign students can better communicate and understand Thai and live more easily in a Thai community."
How did Sumaa start?
----------------------------
Sasithorn said the institute was started by Suvanna Kriengkraipetch, former head of the Department of Thai, Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, who also initiated the Intensive Thai Programme for foreigners decades earlier. The programme was taught in the university, with the curriculum being revised and improved from time to time.
Four years ago, the then-retired Suvanna decided to team up with a group of Chulalongkorn academics, including Sasithorn, who had earlier also been involved in developing the Intensive Thai curriculum.
"After gaining more experience from the programme, I felt it was time to advance my teaching from what was an established curriculum to something more variable and adaptable for learners," Sasithorn said.
They set up a Thai language learning centre of their own, and named it "Sumaa", which comes from the names of the key individuals instrumental in founding the centre - "su" from Suvanna, and "maa" from Maturot Pensri, another member of the academic team.
The word "Sumaa" means "moon", which is also the same meaning as the name "Sasithorn". It is no surprise then that the moon became the logo of the institute.
"While the university's Intensive Thai Programme has set a high academic standard, producing excellent students, we want our Thai courses to be easier and less stressful for the learners," said Sasithorn.
