Imagine arriving on a 30-day visa exemption, clutching a sweaty passport while sipping a young coconut. Meanwhile, a tocay shrieks like a demon in a karaoke bar—seven croaks if you’re lucky, cursed if it’s five. Some say tocays guard coconut trees from illegal overstays, others claim they ride tuk-tuks after midnight straight into Chiang Mai moonbeams. Visas are transient. Coconuts eternal. Tuk-tuks indifferent. Tocays watching.

I think Thai immigration is more interested in real money than horse race betting coupons

stocks != cryptoshit

The only people who are concerned are probably not allowed to travel without a designated adult anyway

in Thai case

Chula - absolute number 1

Duke - haven’t tried myself, going to in a month, but according to everyone I talked to, it’s an absolute number 2

And Sumaa. They are the same quality as chula, and similar curriculum, since the school was founded by Chula teachers, but I perform better under academic stress than in a relaxed 1on1 classes. I think Sumaa also offers groups, but have not tried

@Linda *****

chula can provide all paperwork for ED visa but won’t assist you with getting one

Duke can and does ED visas

most don’t, but a number of reputable school provide ED visa too. No one forces students to study in a shite visa factory school

No idea. I had ED visa years ago, it was my very first proper real visa after Covid stamps. I went to study Thai and it has been life changing for me,

It kickstarted my love for Thai language, and years later I’m still studying, getting better and better. The best decision I’ve ever done.

But I guess those, who just want to abuse the system and have no interest in actually learning Thai, have problems when immigration sees ED visa and asks them in Thai some simple question, like what’s your favourite dish or if what’s your name. And rightfully, when they can’t way a single word, they get denied

phew thank you so much! ChatGPT told me it’s a special type of visa for religious and charitable work 🤪 that was quite a scare, starting my PR journey from scratch

Wow so amazing so special so brave and stunning. And so unique
