One-Year Thai Course and Education Visa

The One-Year, 180-hour intensive Thai course at the Language Institute ensures a candidate's ability to integrate into Thai culture smoothly and easily. Enrollment in the course also makes one eligible for a 1-year Education Visa. The classes are run by graduates from the Chiang Mai University Education program.

The courses include in-depth information about not only language, but all things Thai. Some of the main topics include Buddhism, Thai food, Thai history and social etiquette. With a maximum class size of ten people, you are assured the personal attention you need and the ability to take an active role in the direction of the topics explored.

One of the unique aspects of the one-year Thai course offered at the Chiang Mai University Language Institute, is our approach to learning the Thai language. We strongly believe that learning to read from the beginning is an integral part of the Thai-language learning process. After the initial introduction to the Thai character set, one can more easily assimilate the tones and rhythm of the Thai language.
