Thai Language Programs

To learn the Thai language is no easy task, but rest assured that means selecting your Thai language classes abroad will be easier (because there’s no wrong choice!). Thailand is home to numerous wonderful cities, and while each city offers unique incentives and beauty, there are factors that may impact your decision. Pull out that pen and paper – it’s time to get down to it and figure out where to take Thai language lessons!

Find a Thai language school in Bangkok. The capital and largest city in Thailand hosts more visitors than any other city in the world and treats them to the famous Thai hospitality. The extravagant temples and palaces, floating markets, lively nightlife and red-light districts offer a unique cultural aspect to any intensive language program. Bangkok offers the perfect combination between modernity and traditional Buddhist history. There is no shortage of places to go, things to do, or food to try! Go to learn the language and stay to experience culture. The one caveat? Be careful not to fall into the trap of chatting in your native language in this tourist-friendly city!

Master your tones with Thai classes in Chiang Mai. The largest city in Northern Thailand and capital of the Chiang Mai Province is located in the lush and mountainous countryside. This laid-back city is home to ancient and modern art, vibrant markets, and well-known Buddhist temples. Elephant sanctuaries, lush jungle treks, waterfalls, and rural local villages are just a short trip away. Originally a walled city with a moat, the juxtaposition between the historic old city and the growth of the new city outside the crumbled walls is inspiring. This is the perfect place to learn Thai in a relaxed setting with historical, religious, and rustic adventures just around the corner.

Learn the Thai language beachside in Phuket Province. Located in southern Thailand, these mountainous islands known for their sandy beaches make up the second smallest province. This is a true paradise for sunbathers and water athletes. With diving, surfing, snorkeling, and sailing available at the major beaches, fun is always an option! Beach-goers are typically located in the south while the north, home to a national park, is a bit more low-key. With language programs available in the different districts, including Mueang Phuket and Kathu, there is endless potential for learning not only Thai, but also about the culture and the natural beauty of Thailand.

Other destinations for learning Thai include England, Laos, and Cambodia, though Thai language classes are fewer-and-further between in these countries.
