The AUA Thai Studies Department started in Rayong in November 2006. Our aim is to meet the language and cultural needs of foreigners working, visiting, or residing in Rayong and the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand.

Basic Thai
This 36 hour course is aimed at giving you a good foundation of spoken Thai. Special stress is placed upon good tone production, while using and recognizing the basic vocabulary and sentence patterns. Short dialogs and other class activities are practiced to enhance fluency and accuracy when talking. After completing the course, you should be able to understand and respond appropriately, even with some hesitation and errors, to high-frequency expressions concerning familiar topics in daily life.

Intermediate Thai
You will be introduced to longer conversation of various topics beyond the basic needs of living, such as giving descriptions of items in details, stating reasons, problems, possibilities, agreement/disagreement and alternatives. You will begin to use complex sentence patterns in the discourse level and narratives with various connectors and modifiers. This course is a 36 hour program
