FHM: Entertaining Thai translations
The Bangkok Post's Thai translation lessons are written by a lady who covers issues such as baking rice cakes or making offerings to the monks. I've yet to read one that's even slightly relevant to my life.
Lad-mag, FHM, is more to my taste. There isn't a monk or a rice cake in sight. FHM publishes different editions in each country - including Thailand. Most of the articles are recycled, so comparing the Thai language version to an English language version yields plenty of useful translations (See: Jordan bares all).
The articles are fun and the translations are accurate so I don't have to waste much time referring to my dictionary. FHM is ideal for studying how people speak Thai in the real world.
