Classes and teachers
Are classes grouped by proficiency level?
Classes are organized by level, but the levels run concurrently at different times during the week. Enrolled students can attend beginner, intermediate and advanced classes that match their course, regardless of the level at which they started.
Are the teachers native speakers?
Yes. The Thai, English and Chinese courses are taught by native-speaking teachers who are certified to teach their language.
How many students are in a class?
Classes normally have 10 to 20 students.
How often do new classes start, and is there a waitlist if a level is full?
There is no fixed intake date. The timetable repeats every week, so students can start in any week once enrollment and visa arrangements are ready. Classes run concurrently and we do not normally operate a waitlist.
Do you offer private, evening or weekend lessons?
Regular group classes run on weekdays. One beginner Thai group runs online on Monday and Wednesday from 18:00 to 20:00. Private lessons can be arranged.

Learning and attendance
Will I learn to read and write Thai, or only speak it?
The curriculum covers reading, writing, speaking and listening in your chosen language. English is used to support instruction, and progress depends on the student's attendance, practice and effort.
What learning progress can I realistically expect?
We provide the lessons, learning materials, platform and resources. Your progress depends on how regularly you attend, complete homework and practice outside class, so we cannot guarantee a specific level by a fixed date.
Will I receive a certificate or a recognized proficiency level when I finish?
You receive Bangkok Language School's own certificate of completion. It is not a CEFR, IELTS or other external qualification and is not issued by another institution. You may use it as evidence of study, but acceptance for employment or another purpose is decided by the organization receiving it.
Are there school holidays, and what happens if a holiday falls on my class day?
If the school closes for a public holiday, that class is skipped and the timetable continues with the next scheduled class. There is no replacement or makeup class.
What if I need to cancel a class, get a makeup session or switch my class time?
There are no individual makeup lessons for missed classes, and students do not need to notify the school for an ordinary absence. Levels run concurrently and classes are open to enrolled students at the appropriate level. Missing a class does not pause the timetable or extend the course.
