Private Thai lessons in NYC

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 accepting new students. 

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

A Man in Saffron Robes by Maitree Limpichart

A friend of mine Stephen Landau did a wonderful job translating this Thai masterpiece, A Man in Saffron Robes, a work by Maitree Limpichart.

Please check out reviews here.

The book review appeared in Journal of Siam Society.

As I wrote here, literary translation requires so much brain power to engage in such creative endeavor. I don’t believe that many Thai works are translated into English. Landau’s work is definitely a good place to start your collection.
