Thai Studies & Thai Language Program
CMULI Thai studies & Thai language program is one of Thailand's leading Thai language & culture courses. Our curriculum has been developed by highly experienced Thai instructors and assures that all of our students that study Thai have the best tools available necessary to reach a high level of fluency.
The courses include in-depth information about not only language, but all things Thai. Some of the main topics include Buddhism, Thai food, Thai history and social etiquette. With our dedicated,expert, highly-qualified instructors, you are assured the personal attention you need and the ability to take an active role in the direction of the topics explored.
One of the unique aspects of the one-year Thai course offered at the Chiang Mai University Language Institute, is our approach to learning the Thai language. We strongly believe that learning to read from the beginning is an integral part of the Thai-language learning process. After the initial introduction to the Thai character set, one can more easily assimilate the tones and rhythm of the Thai language.
Course Details
The course is 180 hours, taught 4 hours a week for 45 weeks. Students will be awarded a certificate of completion from Chiang Mai University. A new course opens every month. In order to secure your place in a course, a tuition deposit is required. This payment can be made through bank transfer, online or in person at the Language Institute.
Course Content

Every week will include an in-depth look at several of these topics: Buddhism, Thai traditional medicine, "Sanook" (fun), current events, and Thailand's place in the world. The classes will include many excursions to temples and villages, as well as unique and interesting guided self-study opportunities.
