xyzzy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I know someone that lives in Pattaya and when to a school. I'll have to ask him the name of the school. He got quite good at reading and writing but still has a lot of problems with speaking/listening. He seems to be unable to get command of the tonal part of the spoken language. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustra4 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It seems the main problem...the tone....as grammar is simple and alphabet not that difficult....I speak 5 languages but tone is my problem....even if I ask for a manao pan they don't understand...they reply...lime? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobby Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 On my last trip I went to two schools in Bangkok. Both quoted me in August an 8 month course costing 25.500 baht. In that cost they would take care of the visa and the 2 extensions needed. Main point that got me thinking "scam" was the one , 2 hour lesson a week Why only 1 a week lasting 2 hours. Why not more for longer each time? This got me thinking thats how some people can stay in Thailand for a long time. Now after all these immigration shake ups I e mailed the schools again.Both have changed their tunes. Now they quote 19.000 baht, still only one lesson a week but they do not get involved in getting your visa or any extensions. When I pressed them on this both denied ever offing this service. And I see on some of the Thai visa Facebook groups people trying to come into Thailand with an ED visa are being denied because they have in the past had to many other types of visa. So, beware ! if you have had to many SETV visa for example then you might be better staying out of Thailand for a longer period of time before getting an ED visa. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyzzy Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thailand has been cracking down on the ED visas for a while now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobby Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Yea am sure this is one visa the digital nomads, some twatpackers and those just wanting to stay a long time have used and now abused it for the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
