Klong Toey, Bangkok
Everyday English and the English your job keeps asking for, taught by certified teachers on our own material. Speaking from the first lesson, grammar that holds up in writing, and a certificate at the end.

Living in Thailand
You get by. Then a client call goes fast, or a report comes back rewritten, and you can feel exactly how much English is costing you. This is the course for that.
If you are a foreign national, the same enrolment can carry an Education Visa. See how the ED Visa works
Thai nationals
Same classroom, same teachers, same books. You are buying the language, not a document, and you will speak from the first lesson, not once the grammar is finally out of the way.
No visa involved. Thai nationals do not need one to study here. You simply enrol.
Learning a second language here instead? We also run a Thai language course and a Chinese language course in the same building.
What you actually learn
One gets you through a Tuesday in Bangkok. The other gets you taken seriously in the room where the decision is made. The course covers both, and you speak out loud from the first lesson either way.
The English that decides whether an ordinary errand takes 5 minutes or 40.
Where the cost of a small mistake is not a laugh, it is a lost account.
Speaking starts in lesson one.
Not after the alphabet, not after a term of silent grammar. You will be made to talk early and corrected while you do it, because reading a rule and using it under pressure are two different skills and only one of them gets tested at work.
Levels & structure
The course runs beginner through advanced on material we wrote ourselves, and ends with a certificate. Beginner and advanced classes run at the same time, so you join at your own level rather than waiting for the next intake to come round.
BeginnerYou have never studied it
Join at any point on this line Beginner and advanced classes run concurrently
AdvancedYou can hold your ground in it
The material is written in-house rather than photocopied from someone else’s course, so it moves at the pace of the class in front of it. The book is yours to keep and to argue with.
Yours to keepNever studied English formally, or studied it for years and stalled. Both are normal starting points. Tell us what you can already do and we will tell you where you would sit before you commit to anything.
Beginner to advancedYou finish with a certificate carrying the school’s name. Useful for an employer, for the next school, and for anyone who wants proof rather than a claim.

Fees
Published, not quoted on request. Each figure is the school fee for the English course and the Education Visa support that goes with it, for the whole duration.
English course + ED Visa
45,500 THB
The English course for 7.5 months, with Education Visa support covering the same 7.5 months.
English course + ED Visa
58,000 THB
The longest English enrolment we file. Same course, same teachers, 12 months of study on 1 ED Visa, given in 2 periods. When the first 8 months are complete, you leave Thailand for a few days, with no re-entry permit needed. When you return, Immigration gives you the stamp for the 2nd period for a 2,000 THB fee, and you keep extending it every 60 to 90 days as before. These are government fees, the same for ED Visa students at any school. It is not a new visa application, and we give you any documents you need.
Full detail of the visa itself, the timeline and the refund policy lives on the ED Visa guide.
Thai nationals: you do not need the visa half of that package, and there is no study-only rate published at the moment. Contact the school and we will point you to the right team.
How classes run
Every line below is a confirmed fact. The fees are on this page, the timetable is in the FAQ at the bottom of it, and there is no intake date to wait for.
Ask when you can start
The school is open Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm. Closed Saturday and Sunday. Classes sit inside those hours.
If you need the visa too
Enrol in English and, if you are a foreign national, the same enrolment can carry an Education Visa filed by us, up to 12 months of legal stay in Thailand at a school that genuinely holds the classes your visa says you attend. The visa support is already inside the course fee rather than billed on top of it.

From the English classrooms
The English course exceeded my expectations in every way. The classes were engaging, the materials were relevant, and the teachers were phenomenal. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my English skills since starting.
I’ve always struggled with English, but the course here made it enjoyable and accessible. The interactive lessons really helped me grasp difficult concepts.
BKK Language School is a gem for anyone looking to learn Thai. The curriculum is well-structured, the teachers are passionate, and the overall experience is enriching.
As someone new to Bangkok, enrolling here was one of the best decisions I made. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home, and the classes were both challenging and rewarding.
I've been studying Mandarin for years, but the Chinese course took my language skills to the next level. The instructors are knowledgeable and passionate.
I've always been interested in Chinese culture, and the Chinese course provided the perfect opportunity to learn both language and culture simultaneously. The teachers are excellent and the classes are engaging.
Questions worth asking
Fees, attendance, exam preparation and what we will and will not issue you. Nothing here sends you to a sales call to find out a number.
Only if you are a foreign national who needs one to stay in Thailand legally. Thai nationals do not need a visa to study here at all. You simply enrol.
If you do need one, we file the Education Visa as your school: up to 12 months of legal stay on the longest English enrolment, and a 99.9% approval rate on the applications we file. You report to immigration in person every 60 to 90 days. There is no passport drop-off service.
Read the full ED Visa guide45,500 THB for 7.5 months, or 58,000 THB for 12 months. Both are package prices covering the English course and the Education Visa support that goes with it, for the whole duration.
Payment is upfront and in full, with no installment plan. The fee does not cover the renewal fees you pay at immigration when the stamp is extended.
See what the fee coversTuesday to Friday, in 2 hour classes. Beginner is 10am to 12pm, intermediate 1pm to 3pm, advanced 3pm to 5pm. Whichever level you join, that is 8 hours a week.
The grid repeats every week, and you can mix the slots, for example a morning class one day and an afternoon class another.
| Days | Time | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Tue to Fri | Beginner level | |
| Tue to Fri | Intermediate level | |
| Tue to Fri | Advanced level |
Up to 8 hours a week, depending on the level.
There is no term and no fixed intake. The timetable repeats every week, so you start in the week that suits you rather than waiting for the next cohort. Most people join a beginner class, and joining part-way through a chapter is normal at that level.
The course runs from beginner through to advanced. Never having studied English formally is a normal starting point, and so is having studied it for years and stalled.
There is no placement test. Beginner, intermediate and advanced classes run at the same time, and you choose the level you feel ready for.
No. We do not run IELTS, TOEFL or TOEIC preparation, we do not run any other official exam preparation, and we are not partnered with a testing organisation.
This is a private language school teaching practical, everyday English and English for work, on its own programs and with its own certificates. If a recognised test score is what you actually need, a test-prep centre will serve you better than we will, and we would rather say so now than take a year of your evenings.
Certified, native speaker teachers who do this professionally and have experience teaching foreign students. That training is what lets a teacher explain why your sentence is wrong instead of only that it is.
The school and its English course are approved by Thailand's Ministry of Education.
Students must be at least 15 years old. There is no maximum age limit. Our country screening list affects where some applicants can apply, and we cannot currently accept every nationality.
Every application is still assessed case by case, and the assessment is made from your passport. Send us the photo page and your Thai entry stamps from the last 2 years and we will tell you where you stand before you pay anything.
We recommend attending at least 80% of your classes, so your studies are not questioned. Sick days count as absences, so leave yourself a margin. Taking a break is fine, but tell the school before you miss a class.
The study language is fixed once you enrol. You cannot move from English to Thai or Chinese part-way through, so pick the one you actually want first.
A certificate of completion in the school’s name, a Certificate of Study while you are enrolled, and the textbooks, which are ours and are yours to keep. If you studied on an Education Visa, you also leave with a stay that was legal the whole way through.
What we do not issue: a residence certificate, which comes from an embassy or from immigration rather than from a school, and a student ID card, which we do not produce at all.
