July 2, 201015 yr Looking for Thai language courses in Pakchong or Nakhon Ratchasima at an institute that can provide documents for a ED visa? Does anyone know?
July 2, 201015 yr There are 3 Universities in Korat. University of Technology, Suranee University and another I don't know the name, do an internet search for Korat Universities and see what you come up with.
July 3, 201015 yr Posting web-links to competing forums is against this forums rules. So in staying within the rules ; I'd suggest a quick Google of the term(s) "Nakhon Ratchasima Forums" and/or "Thai Language School Nakhon Ratchasima" just to see what you get. FWIW: I'd give a pass on the previous post by Colabamubai unless you're intending on going to a 'real' uni . Given the numbers of foreigners who live in and around Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) there hasta be at least a couple private thai language schools who are registered with the Ministry of Education and can meet your needs in regards to the documentation you need to secure an ED visa. I wouldn't pay a single baht up front to ANY school until you sat in on a free class to see if you get any 'bang for your baht'. The last thing you want to do is pay tuition to a school whose method and material of teaching thai to foreigners is not a good 'fit' for how you learn things . With tourist visas to thailand free at the moment, get a double entry tourist visa and come scope it out first. There'll be plenty of time to find a school and get the documentation you need to secure an ED visa in a neighboring country. Then again, depending on the country you live in now, perhaps a quick call to a thai embassy or consulate would let you find out if they'll give you a single entry ED visa only on your intent to study thai once you get here. You're out nothing but a phone call to check. ..
July 3, 201015 yr There are 3 Universities in Korat. University of Technology, Suranee University and another I don't know the name, do an internet search for Korat Universities and see what you come up with. Is there a school in Surin or can I use a private school.
July 3, 201015 yr A private school is fine and you can study anything you want, as long as the school is officially recognised. Just find a course you are interested in and ask the school if they can help you with the ED-visa.
July 3, 201015 yr "University of Technology, Suranee University" I think that's one university, not two. Suranaree University of Technology :: มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีสุรนารี. www.sut.ac.th/ - แคช - ใกล้เคียง I think in Korat a language school is your best bet. Sorry I don't know which ones to contact. Take Tod-D's suggestion and you will get all kinds of info re Korat.
