Thai is not an easy language to learn but it is definitely worth investing the time to learn some basics!

During my time in Thailand I put a lot of effort into learning the Thai language. I am not fluent but I can hold a pretty decent conversation with people.

In my first year the return on investment was immense. For each hour I was spending learning Thai I would get huge enjoyment from using what I learned in day to day life. However, the more I studied the more the enjoyment faded.
