Do not use this school. Not only do they charge 3 times as much, they scam you. All the other schools in Bangkok charges 1/3 the price. There are 3 other Japanese schools in Thailand all three teach Japanese with a native speaker for less than the price of a Thai speaker at this place and for 1 year not 10 months. First hurdle. They did not pay for, support or help me with immigration in anyway. It was all me. Immigration cost close to 10,000 Thb more. I paid close to 100,000 THB and I thought I was getting 10 months. Around 2.5 months in they called me to say "you need to overnight me your passport before tomorrow morning at 9 am" they called at 2 pm. The cut off time for overnight mail in Thailand is 3pm. After 3 months they called me to say "you have to come to the school now or we cannot renew your visa." This was of course impossible as I was not in Bangkok. They knew I wasn't. So they said we can't renew your visa that's it all done your fault. Later I came to realize that the visa they put me on was not a 10 month visa. It was not an EDU visa, it was a Non-O visa. Which is 3 months long and cannot be extended under any circumstances. I called several times until this point asking for my money back. Their answer was always the same "we don't do refunds". They blamed me for not meeting the conditions of my visa when it turned out I could never have done 10 months on that visa in the first place. They said we'll give you a year for the hassle, they lied. They said that's just the way it's done in Thailand. They lied. They said that's the price it normally costs. They lied. Every step of the way they tried to scam me for close to 100,000. This is the worst company I've ever had to deal with in the world and I have lived in over 65 countries. Don't waste your time and or money.

Not the greatest instruction, but very cheap. Definitely the best value Thai school I've found.
