Hi, I'm Pam!
I'm a Chiang Mai local and I created Ma Rian Thai (มา เรียน ไทย) which literally means “Come, Learn Thai” in Thai.
I don't teach from textbooks. I teach from the streets, the markets, the temples, and the kitchens of Chiang Mai. In 5+ years of coaching I've helped thousands of travellers and expats from over 40 countries actually speak Thai.

“Learning Thai with Pam over the past five months has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had since moving to Chiang Mai. I now feel confident talking to locals in my daily life — something that truly transformed my experience here.”
Patrick
Expat in Chiang Mai 🇩🇪
“Pam has a way of making Thai lessons feel like play without losing efficiency. I often look back and realise how much I've learned without even noticing the effort. She quickly recognised my learning style and leaned into it.”
Adam
Thai Learner 🇦🇺
“Pam is an amazing teacher! She is very patient and a lot of fun! I have picked up Thai so quickly because of her teaching style! You will learn Thai faster than you think you could with Pam as your teacher!”
Phabian
Thai Learner 🇺🇸
“I never knew learning languages could be so enjoyable — 50 minutes feels like 5! I'm usually very insecure about making mistakes, but Pam makes me feel so comfortable. I feel confident enough to be silly and try.”
Anna
Thai Learner 🇩🇪
“I learned so much in 8 weeks, and when I arrived in Thailand my friend told me I was speaking better than people he knows who have lived there for years! Very thankful for the knowledge!”
Lucas
Thai Traveller 🇺🇸
“After nearly 6 months of lessons, I've made more progress than I ever have in my language learning. Pam tailors every lesson to my needs and makes me feel at ease with her warmth and patience.”
Steph
Long-term Student 🇺🇸
“Her lessons are structured, fun, and weirdly addictive — like Netflix, but with more consonants. She even teaches cultural context, which is great. Pam is a fantastic teacher. Highly recommended.”
Isak
Thai Learner 🇸🇪
“Working with Pam is honestly the best experience! I started out so shy and nervous to make mistakes but very quickly I was so comfortable to just go for it. Learning isn't scary with her. She is an angel.”
