ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone my bf and I just arrived a few days ago currently in bangkok. Anyways we have the 30 day visa and we are going to extend then we are wanting to do the educational. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I’m overwhelmed by all the companies advertising
TLDR : Answer Summary
A couple in Bangkok with a 30-day visa seeks recommendations for educational options to obtain an educational visa in Thailand. Community members suggest reliable language schools, including Duke Language School and ALA, located in Sukhumvit Soi 13. They also mention options in other cities like Chiang Mai and Koh Samui. Discussions surrounding the process, extending visas, and recommendations for teachers also surface, highlighting the varied experiences of expats in Thailand.

I assume you mean you want to do Thai education visa?
I attend ALA. They are located Sukhumvit Soi 13. 2 hour class per day Monday to Friday, pretty well structured. Can do online or in person. There is also Duke, which is located in the same building very highly recommended for serious learner.

First of all where do you want to live? If you want a legit Thai School where you can obtain an Ed visa then Google Duke Language School. It is in Trendy Building in Sukhumvit Soi 13, Bangkok. If you just want to pay an agent for a visa just to stay then you can pick one of many and take your chances.
