Private Thai lessons in NYC

Featured | Posted by

Thank you for stopping by!

It has been both fulfilling and rewarding to continue teaching Thai language lessons to my students in the New York City area. This upcoming year marks my 18th year dedicated to teaching private Thai lessons.

If you wish to start a Thai lesson, please include the following information.

  1. Your purpose in learning Thai: work, family, or personal development.
  2. Time frame: travel plan in three months? crash course? a long-term goal to reconnect with distant Thai relatives?
  3. Your previous experience in learning a foreign language.

These questions are designed to help you reflect on your decision to begin learning Thai. While Thai isn’t the simplest language to master, achieving proficiency is within reach. My aim is to ensure that you are fully committed to the journey.

Thank you for reading this message.

Current availability: Thank you for your interest in starting lessons! I am currently not accepting new students. I will begin accepting students in January 2026. 

When you are ready to start a lesson, I can be reached at kedsri@gmail.com.

Thai Alphabet Song

Posted on by

This version of the Thai alphabet song is simply adorable. I highly recommend this version if you wish to start learning Thai. Learning Thai can be hard, but investing time in the beginning to learn the writing system will help you become an independent learner and will pay off in the long run, speaking from experience.

สุขสันต์วันสงกรานต์ Happy Thai New Year 2025

I saw this video online and found it to be very funny. I believe this is an old video. In Thailand, we often go back to visit family during the Songkran holiday. I often describe the Thai New Year as something similar to Thanksgiving or Christmas, but with a water fight. Honestly, when one gets older than 20, it is less likely that they will participate in the water fight. I still fondly remember being in Chiang Mai as a kid, playing around the moat.
