I don't think that there are any accredited schools on Samaui. On line courses are available and it is advertised that you can get a ED visa by enrolling in one. The initial visa must be issued by a Thai embassy or consulate outside of Thailand but can be applied for while in Thailand and then travel outside to collect it. It depends on what country you are from whether you have to go back to your home country or can go to a neighboring country to collect it. I''ve dealt with a reputable Thai Language School in the past and if you contact them they will provide a correct and professional answers to all of your questions. Their website is www.tlslanguageschool.com. You can talk to Mary by calling 02-374-0779 or to the owner, Tewi, on her mobile at 081-271-5235.

Its not cheap and you should do it only if you really want to learn Thai. In addition to the Initial cost of the tuition to the school, On site classroom training at the TLS schools in Bangkok and Pattaya cost between 15000 and 25000 baht depending of your choice of cirriculums. I think that the initial visa is only issued for 90 days and must be renewed every 90 days thereafter for the cost of 1900 baht each time. Immigration wants some documentation from the school that you are still a student. There is even a test given at the end of the first year. So the cost of 1 year is 7600 baht (1900x4).

I would contact them and find out exactly what is avaiable and the cost before you line Mr Nook's pockets with a lot of baht. I used to live in Samuai a few yaers ago and if the present Mr Nook is the same erson that was there then you might be led down a very expensive primrose path.

This school was in the process of applying for the accreditation for the Ed Visa a while back, I am not sure if that has been completed. As said, if they are now giving such courses, they help with the Visa process in addition to the teaching.
