Why Are Thailand’s English-Language Skills The Lowest in South East Asia? Blame The Education System
Since I moved to Thailand a decade ago, I’ve read report after report stating Thailand has the lowest standard of English skills in south east Asia and, in years, little improvement has been seen. As a former teacher, that fact didn’t surprise me at all. Even after 12-15 years of learning English, few Thais can hold a conversation in English on anything more than a basic level and some can’t even do that.
