John 1 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 This is not the answer you require but if you check there is a lot that needs to be done and kept updated yearly I checked and not worth the effort. If over 50 years old and 800k in the bank or married and 400k in the bank that's the easiest way, I know everyone has a different reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Arkady Posted May 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Go to any decent Thai language school and first of all perfect your Thai. Then get some information about the Knowledge of Thailand test from Special Branch and get your teacher to help you learn the rajasap vocab to do with the monarchy, the Thai political system, geography, culture etc as well as prepare simple general knowledge. You will be asked easy a,b,c or d multiple choice questions like: Which of these is the interior minister? Which of these is the formal title of the Queen? How many provinces in Thailand? What province is famous for silk production? Reading the Nationality Act and the Interior Ministry's regulations for naturalisation in Thai is very useful training as there will certainly be questions to do with the legal process of naturalisation. You should be able to recognise the Thai for Royal Gazette and Special Branch for example. All very simple but involves a little work and practice. This will also help a lot in the reading and writing tests, not to mention all the interviews. Good luck and keep off the piss.

However, must public office positions like MP, senator, judge etc require you to be Thai from birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't know which are good today as it's been a while since I attended one but there are many that provide one on one lessons which means you can ask them to add teaching for the citizenship tests to your curriculum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futsukayoi Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 None of the Thai schools on Koh samui offer group classes to anything like citizenship level. They have teachers with the right experience and the materials but most students drop out well before that level and they just do not have the demand to support classes. The majority of students just do some basic classes to get the Education Visa. That means after after about 150-200 lessons level you would need to do mainly one on one. Both Mind Your Language and Thai Solutions are good (well structured and with experienced teachers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Mind Your Language and Thai Solutions are good (well structured and with experienced teachers). Any decent Thai school will do. No one is going to have special classes for this. You have to tell them your needs and ask them to teach accordingly. If you learn Thai to intermediate standard, including reading and writing, you are most of the way there already. Even if you don't want to take the written tests, your spoken Thai will be deficient, if you can't read because you will never learn formal vocab about the Nationality Act etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reading and writing tests are only for a few points and they will not force you to take them, if you don't want to. The Nationality Act actually only requires knowledge of spoken Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
