jaked Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hello All Can anyone recommend a Thai language school in Pattaya? Also, does anyone know what I must do to apply for an education visa since I intend to study full time (4 to 6 hours per day x 5 days a week). Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hello AllCan anyone recommend a Thai language school in Pattaya? Also, does anyone know what I must do to apply for an education visa since I intend to study full time (4 to 6 hours per day x 5 days a week). Thank you for how long do you hope to study. The school would have to be good to make you eligible for a Non-Immigrant ED visa. You are more likely to get a Non-Immigrant O visa I think.

jaked Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 I hope to study for at least one full year, January 05 to December 05. Do you know of any schools in Pattaya to recommend? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 No ideas for Pattaya. Someone from there will probably respond. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 It's all up to you, jaked, and I am sure you have good reasons for selecting Pattaya - but if you really wish to understand Thailand and the Thais and learn as much of the language as possible within that time (cultural sensitivity goes hand in hand with good language skills) I'd recommend you settle for a less farangized destination than Pattaya for your studies. No offense, just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaked Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Thank you for your reply. Could you possibily make some other suggestions for school locations? I do not like Bangkok or ChiangMai because I don't like big cities. What attracts me to Pattaya is the beach combined with a cosmopolitan feel (as opposed to Phuket). I also think Pattaya has good amenties for foreigners such as restaurants, hospitals, and public transportation system. If you have any other ideas of places to study that is better than Pattaya I am open for suggestions. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neeranam Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 There are a couple of Universities in Hua Hin. Websters is one. A LOT better than Pattaya in my opinion. The King lives in Hua Hin a lot! Don't get me started about Pattaya I am sure Websters would be good if you are serious about learnign Thai. They could help you with the right visa too. Attracted to Pattaya beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaked Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hua Hin is a great idea. I haven't been there for more than 10 years and I remember the town being a nice size and the beach was beautiful. I didn't know they had a Thai Language school there. Thanks for your help.
