Hi everyone in Nong Khai. As we have now found a wonderful new teacher at AUA Udonthani to teach Thai, I can start Thai language classes at AUA again.

Some people may wonder why we don't run Thai courses more often - well the simple answer is that it is surprisingly hard to find good Thai teachers here.

Anyway, details of the next Thai courses are as follows:

Beginners Thai: Tuesday to Friday (4 days per week, 6 weeks), 11.00am to 12.30pm (Total 36 hour course)
Intermediate Thai: Tuesday to Friday (4 days per week, 6 weeks), 12.30pm to 2.00pm (36 hours)
(pls note for intermediate, it is helpful if you can read basic Thai)

The courses will start on Tuesday 2nd March and run to Friday 9th April

Cost - 2800 baht.

If you are interested please contact AUA (next to Nongprajak park). Tel. 042 242 845, 325 776, email udon@auathailand.org, or pm me. ps. we are closed on Mondays.

Student visa letters can also be provided upon registration.

Many Thanks

Nick Dunning

Hi Nick - Would there ever be a chance of having Thai courses in Nong Khai?

Even if you had enough interest - what is the minimum no. of students needed? - would you have a teacher who could teach here? And a place? (FGCC could be one option for venue.)

I imagine not. Just asking, since it is a bit of a drive up to Udon 4 days/week...and there must be some interest here in NK.

Cheers, JEFF

I know what you are saying. There are a lot of ex-pats in Nong Khai, and I'm sure some would be interested in studying at AUA.

The only way I can think of is if you get together and share the driving. If you could get 4 or 5 to come together - then I would give you a 'group' discount - or the driver gets to study for free, something like that.

Anyway, I'm open to ideas. Cheers

Hi Nick, do you think you will be running courses later in the year.

I've got 2 people interested, but they wont be back in the country until June.

Hopefully the courses will run all year. We can take names for later on in the year. I will do a schedule for term times.

We are closed on Mondays btw.

I just moved to Nongkhai but have lived in Laos for a year. I would like to take the Thai Language Course from AUA in Udon Thani. I would like to know of others living in Nongkhai that I could possibly share rides with.
