Anyone between 18 and 80 years old can study Thai at LILS. You need to know the basics of how to use a computer (open programs, find documents in folders, how to use a mouse etc) and you need to be able to walk up the stairs to the classrooms.
You can take our intensive courses for 3-52 weeks.
Please see the course start dates here.
Each day of study consists of five lessons, 50 minutes each.
Tuition and all course material including books, movies, sound files, and computer games. You will also receive a certificate on completion of the course and break time fruit every school day .
Flights, visa, insurance, accommodation and food are NOT included in the course fee. You will also need a computer to follow the course. Either bring your own or borrow at the school.
You can pay by cash at the school, PayPal or bank wire directly into our Thai bank account. Alternatively, if you live in Sweden, you can pay straight into our Swedish bank account by bank giro.
You don't need to know any Thai to start the Beginners course.
The goal of the course is for you to learn around 100-200 words per week and get a good foundation in Thai grammar. You will also learn how to read, write and how to communicate in various situations.
You will learn the standard Thai dialect. It is the same dialect that is used on TV and radio, and the same dialect that all Thai children are taught at school.
You can choose between a hotel, bungalow, villa, apartment or room. Rooms and bungalows are generally the cheapest. We can help you find a suitable place to stay if you fill in the accommodation request form.
Koh Lanta is a part of the Krabi Province in the south of Thailand. It is close to the Phi Phi Islands and Phuket.
Most students fly to Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur and then continue by a connecting flight to our closest airport - Krabi International Airport. It is also possible to fly into airports at Phuket or Trang, though they are a little further away from Koh Lanta. From any of the airports you can go by private transfer, ferry or minivan to Koh Lanta. We can arrange a transfer from the airport for you if you fill in the accommodation request form.
The easiest and cheapest option is to apply for a single or double entry tourist visa from a Thai embassy or consulate in your own country. With a double entry tourist visa, it is possible to stay in Thailand for up to six months before needing to apply for a new visa. You will however need to go on short visa runs during that time.
