ABOUT US
How it All Started
Siam Speak was born from the vision of our founder, whose journey in education began in the city of Khon Kaen, in the Isaan region of Thailand. Motivated by a deep love for Thai language and culture, he set out to create meaningful learning experiences for foreigners who had developed a strong connection with Thailand.
His first step was opening a small Thai language school on the peaceful island of Koh Mak. Following its success, he built a new school on the nearby island of Koh Chang — which quickly became known as Kudos Language School, the most recognized language center in the area.
With the support of new Western partners who shared his values and vision, Kudos evolved into Siam Speak, a modern, dynamic school officially recognized by the Thai Ministry of Education.
Today, while we continue to grow and welcome international students from around the world, we remain committed to our roots — giving back to the local Thai community by offering free English lessons. This balance between sharing Thai and supporting English education remains at the core of everything we do.
Our Philosophy
At SiamSpeak, we believe that learning Thai is more than just memorizing words and grammar—it’s about connecting with the local culture, sparking curiosity, and enriching your experience in Thailand. We create a welcoming, interactive environment where every student feels supported, encouraged to speak up, make mistakes, and grow.
Our approach is rooted in:
Empathy & Cultural Understanding: We respect each learner’s background and adapt our teaching to build real cultural bridges between Thai people and international students.
Real-Life Communication: Our lessons focus on everyday situations—so you can confidently navigate markets, make friends, and live more fully in Thailand.
Personal Transformation: Learning Thai opens doors. We aim to boost your confidence, deepen your curiosity, and help you thrive in a new environment.
In short: we don’t just teach Thai. We help you live it.
Principal's Vision
At our school in the heart of Koh Chang, we believe that learning a language is more than memorizing vocabulary and grammar — it's about building bridges between cultures, hearts, and people.
Our mission is to offer a warm, supportive environment where every student feels inspired to grow, both linguistically and personally. We approach language learning as a journey — one that connects our students to the richness of Thai culture, the rhythm of island life, and the values of respect, curiosity, and community.
We teach Thai not only to communicate, but to understand. Whether you're here for a few weeks or a full year, we are committed to helping you unlock the beauty of the Thai language through practical, immersive, and meaningful experiences. Because when you speak someone’s language, you start to see the world through their eyes.
Here in Koh Chang, surrounded by nature and supported by a dedicated team of teachers, we believe that every student has the potential to thrive — and we are here to guide, encourage, and walk beside you every step of the way.
