TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion focuses on finding affordable Thai language schools that issue education visas (ED visas). Recommendations include schools in Pai, which charged approximately 18,000 THB before COVID, with most schools averaging around 30,000 THB plus an additional 8,000 THB for visa extensions. Participants clarify that working on an ED visa is not permitted and express concerns regarding the ED visa's impact on future visa applications, particularly elite Thai visas. Other suggestions provided include online resources such as Thaipod101 and specific schools like AAA School and Anna's Language School in Trang.

As long as foreigners continue trying to work around Thai Immigration laws the laws will just become more difficult for everyone. Seen it happen time and time again.

I’ve just started learning through Thaipod101 which I would recommend.

Can learn at your own pace and few different packages and makes it easy and fun to learn

I heard getting an Ed visa kinda screws you from getting an elite Thai visa and other things, is this true?

@Charles **********
yes having an ED visa in the last 3 years can cause rejection of your elite visa application.

depends if you go to a government run university or similar rather than some dodgy online school

You can’t get an Ed taking on-line classes.

I know some who does but I doubt they can get an elite if they wanted to now

@Shaughn **********
then they're being dishonest. This kind of behavior is destined to make it more difficult for honest students.

You can't work on an ed visa, I hope you are aware of that.

More cheap I heard of was in Pai before covid, around 18k if I remember good.

Most of schools are around 30k, to which you have to add 8k for the extensions.
