Hal65 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've been wanting to visit Thailand for years & now have an opportunity. But will I need to learn some basic Thai if I go outside of Bangkok? The plan is to chick out Koh Samui/Phangan and possibly stay a while if I like it there, long enough to rent an apartment. I'm concerned about my ability to communicate with apartment owners, medical care workers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Go to any popular tourist destination in Thailand and you don't have to speak a word of Thai. It is only when you get off the beaten track that you need either a phrase book or as I did when I first got here, a talking Thai / English dictionary. The places you have suggested visiting English is widely spoken so just roll up and enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
