Has anyone heard of or worked with "Insight English"? They are a language school in Hua Hin with an office in Bangkok who tell me they can secure an education visa without having to leave the country. It feels a bit too good to be true since other schools have told me I'd have to visit an embassy outside of Thailand
I do genuinely want to learn Thai to communicate better with my girlfriend's family. But I do admit that since I'm already in Thailand on amnesty, I worry if I leave I won't be able to return for a while so the benefits of a long-term visa are an attractive bonus at this time
For those of you who are learning Thai. "Mondly" is a good interactive app on a similar enjoyable level to Duolingo which unfortunately doesn't support Thai yet ✌️
