Puwa Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Has anyone studied kam muang in Chiang Mai with a teacher he would recommend? Please describe the teaching style, level of prep and professionalism of teacher, etc. It's long been one of my goals to be able to switch into Northern dialect when the chance arises. Thanks all!

Ajarn Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 AUA in Chiang Mai has special classes for learning Northern Thai. They can give you all the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too true Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 up the road from AUA, at the traffic lights. can't remember the name of the street, but it's the corner of the AUA road and the Wat PraSingh road, I think. right past the traffic lights, on your left, is a tour company, can't remember the name. very vague, isn't it? sorry. the woman who owns the tour shop with her husband teaches kam muang. it's very much tailored to what you're looking for. don't think there are any books. i went to her for a few hours a few years ago, but i already spoke muang and just needed a bit of this and that to get myself to stop mixing the languages. so can't really say if she's good or not. seems to me, the best way to learn muang, if you already speak thai, is to go hang out in a local market for a few days. or a sidewalk whisky stand.

Puwa Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 whiskey stands and markets are definitely the more fun way to pick up a language. anyone else with firsthand accounts of teachers.... or whiskey stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
