Here you’ll find posts written personally by me, Urai, sharing the story behind Thai Language Tuition UK, my teaching approach, and my passion for helping others learn Thai. This is also where I’ll share announcements, updates, monthly messages, learning encouragement, and thoughts from your tutor. Whether you’re discovering TLT-UK for the first time or already learning with me, I hope these posts help you feel connected, supported, and inspired throughout your Thai learning journey.
At Thai Language Tuition UK (TLT-UK), I believe learning a language should be about so much more than memorising words or filling out workbook exercises. It should be about developing the true confidence to communicate, understanding the mechanics of the language, and gradually feeling at home using Thai in everyday situations.
I’m Urai, a Thai language teacher and the person behind Thai Language Tuition UK (TLT-UK). I’m originally from Hua Hin, Thailand, and now proudly call the UK my home. Having lived between two very different cultures, I understand first-hand what it’s like to navigate a new language, adapt to unfamiliar surroundings and find your feet in a different way of life. These experiences have shaped not only who I am but also the way I teach.
If you have found your way to this page, chances are you already have a piece of Thailand in your heart. Maybe you just returned from a memorable holiday and can’t wait to go back. Perhaps you have a Thai partner, family or friends, and you’d love to connect with them more deeply by speaking their language. Or maybe you’re planning a new chapter of life in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, whether for work or retirement, and want to feel more confident communicating in Thai.
