About PLC School

Pattaya School of Languages and Computers is the official school name and is the location of the head office. The school name is often represented as PLC or PLC School.

The school is licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education, and follows the required guidelines and criteria.

Pattaya School of Languages and Computers is a private school. The student profile features mostly adult learners – primarily Thai and foreign students from the U.S.A., Australia, the United Kingdom and European countries. There are also students from Russia, China, Korea, and Japan.

Situated in central Pattaya, the school occupies a large mutli-storey building. The school is conveniently situated on a main road (Pattaya Klang – opposite the Hop Inn Hotel) and has parking facilities front and rear. Main shopping centres (such as Big C Place) and accommodation can be found in and around the local area. This is especially useful for those who intend to travel from abroad to stay and study.

The reception area, classrooms, and the school canteen are situated on the ground floor. Further classrooms and facilites are situated on each of the floors above and all classrooms are air-conditioned. Head office and main administration are also located at this branch. The full range of courses and education visas are available.

Language courses are supported by professional course books and materials from well-known publishers. Additional or specific materials are developed and tested by the PLC training department.

There is no full-time curriculum for children, however, PLC provides tuition or full English language courses as extra after-school studies for young learners.

About Long-Term Study

Those working or living in Pattaya long-term have a comfortable environment along with all the benefits of a tropical climate, a favourable currency exchange rate, and the unique social experiences that are found in the culturally rich and diverse Thai society.

If you are considering spending more time in Pattaya or Thailand and want a useful and interesting way to occupy your time, PLC School can provide the answer. Long-term language courses with education visa support are available if you enrol as a foreign student. Learning the Thai language to any extent gives you an advantage if you intend to stay long-term.

During your study, our experienced staff can help and answer any questions you may have about immigration issues, accommodation, travel, or any aspect of daily life in Pattaya.

Studying Thai language may be helpful if:

• You want to work or run a business in Thailand
• You have, or want to buy, a holiday home
• You visit on a regular basis or want to stay long-term
• You have family or friends in Thailand
• You would like to study a language as a student abroad
• You want to take a gap year or take time out

Studying a language can help to improve your communication skills with local people, and becoming a foreign student also allows you to apply for a long-term education visa (valid for 6 months or 1 year each time). This gives you time to explore a new language and culture along with the benefits this can bring, and your stay is supported by a valid visa.
