I am looking to stay in Thailand for about 8 months. I'm fine with flying in and out of the country for renewals and such. I also would like to learn some Thai, what visa would you suggest?

Many people recommend the online language course called "Learn Thai from a White Guy" by Brett Whiteside.

I want to buy that onlline course, but I'd be curious to learn if anyone would recommend something to supplement it, so that I might be able to go back and forth between two. Another online course or app or YouTube channel, etc.

Is there any legit language schools that will teach me thai. I want one for visa purposes but would also love to learn Thai.

Hi!

Myself, my partner and our 2 year old will be travelling to Krabi in Feb 2024. We want to stay for 1 year and train Muay Thai but we will look at learning Thai at a certified school so we can get ED Visa.

We are from Australia and I’m just wanting advice should I book a return ticket or onward ticket to show the airline? Should we apply for ED visa before we go? Or should we just apply when we get to Thailand within the 30 days?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Hello Friends

Someone have a recommendation for Thai Language School that offers Online Courses ?

Would like to apply somewhere in the North and stay on Phangan because its way cheaper up there.

Thank You in advance 🙂

My ED visa school is upping it from 1 class/week to 4/week. Anyone in the same boat?

Any Job advice or remote work places were I can find work In Bangkok? I definitely need a work permit soon, I do music production, voice, and studio camera work, I’m torn between An Ed visa either Muay Thai or learning Thai, Cheaper options are extremely welcomed lol

Does anyone know where we can get affordable Thai lessons in Bangkok, asking for a friend😁

Has anyone heard of or worked with "Insight English"? They are a language school in Hua Hin with an office in Bangkok who tell me they can secure an education visa without having to leave the country. It feels a bit too good to be true since other schools have told me I'd have to visit an embassy outside of Thailand

I do genuinely want to learn Thai to communicate better with my girlfriend's family. But I do admit that since I'm already in Thailand on amnesty, I worry if I leave I won't be able to return for a while so the benefits of a long-term visa are an attractive bonus at this time

For those of you who are learning Thai. "Mondly" is a good interactive app on a similar enjoyable level to Duolingo which unfortunately doesn't support Thai yet ✌️

Barring the basic "you-did-something-wrong" reasons, what's the general feel on the reliability of a 6 month or 1 year ED visa in the near future? Do people think it's getting more and more strict, or that it's likely to be denied/canceled at one of the 90day extensions without obvious "cause" (poor attendance, failing language spot test, etc.)?

In the next year, I'm looking at possibly doing the ED visa to learn Thai (I actually want to learn Thai), or to do some uni study. I'd just hate to invest the money if the visa has a high chance of becoming invalid for reasons out of my control.
