LANGUAGE IN THAILAND
Language in Thailand: Thai is the official language but there are different dialects all over Thailand. Someone in the Bangkok speaks the official Thai Language, with a hard R, whereas someone form the South in Hat Yai speaks a total different kind of Thai, with no R at all. If you have taken Thai lessons at home don’t be surprised if someone cannot understand you. There are lots of universities in Bangkok where you can learn how to speak, write and read Thai. These universities can also give out official letters for Student Visa’s, which you have to apply for in your home country.
English is widely spoken, although still difficult for most, in tourist areas like Phuket, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao.
