Our main school, which opened 17 years ago, is IH Bangkok. It is conveniently located in the heart of Bangkok and is ideally situated for students to enjoy the sights and sounds of this lively and exotic city. Voted by Travel and Leisure as the best city in the world in 2013 and 2014, there really is something for everyone in Bangkok. Bangkok was also the most visited city in the world in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Our Bangkok school moved to a brand-new, 50% bigger, purpose-built school and training centre in 2018 - located on the main street in Bangkok.
IH Bangkok is special in that we are a medium-sized school when it comes to teaching English, but we also train over 550 CELTA trainees every year (at both locations). As our English department is medium sized, we can concentrate more fully on each student.
Because we train 550 teachers a year, we choose only the top 1% to teach at our school. All of our teachers are CELTA trained, have at least a university degree, and are all native English speakers.
To welcome you and introduce you to the school, Bangkok, Thailand, and the surrounding area in a more comprehensive manner, we have a 15-minute orientation before your first class and an optional 30 minute walking tour on the first day. We hope that this will allow you to feel more comfortable and familiar with the buzzing and exciting city of Bangkok

International House Bangkok is located on Sukhumvit 13, in the heart of Bangkok. We are located next to the two main forms of transportation, the BTS (Nana Station) and MRT (Sukhumvit Station). We are also only two short stops on the BTS from the Shopping district. As soon as you exit our building you are in the very centre of the most exciting, and most visited city in the world.
I really liked the class and the teachers. The location was very central in the city. Also the school activities were very cool. We were very happy for the certificate with the photo and the message from other students. It is a nice memorabilia.
Show details » Read more...The location of the school is really great! It is at the downtown ,though it's close to the NaNa, where is not a good area for a single female. But I still had a lot of fun in this school, I met lots of great people and have conversations with different people, and I also had many new friends. The only drawback is that the course is a bit too easy for me. I don’t feel that I have improved my English skills.

J'ai trouvé que l'hôtel, VP tower, proposé dans le package était un peu trop loin des cours.
The course was fun, no question! Super nice teachers, dear classmates, ideal location and everything was well organized!
However, it was not what I had in mind. I was rated too high in my opinion and we worked on topics that (at the moment) really didn't help me. I was hoping that I would learn simple conversation & small talk with the right tense, etc. so that I could communicate properly in everyday life ... Instead I was confronted with passive sentences and such topics, which is certainly great, but definitely unsuitable for me.
My question about two hours of extra private tuition was first forgotten, and after a quick reminder, I heard nothing from the front desk.
School is modern. Teacher and staff have high level qualifications. I spend 3 weeks in this school and now i can write and read on English. Sometimes there are many students in class. In my class was 13 students. Every Friday school invent all students spend time in different places in Bangkok. It is very interesting. I lived in V.P. Tower. This apartment cleanly and have a pool, but room is not modern.

I don’t have any negative comments to add.
I learned a lot of things in the International House Bangkok. Teachers are very fun. It’s a very good experience for me.

Show details » Read more...I came to learn and I learned, but there is a lack of follow-up between the teachers for the correction of the exercises at home.There could also be a common room with magazines or students could meet. Most of the teachers are traveling and although they are professionals, they are not involved.
The location is good.
Dear Philippe,
Thank you for your review and we appreciate your feedback.
As the largest Cambridge teacher training centre in Asia, the most important focus of our school is to have the best teachers. We only hire the top 1% out of the 500 teachers we train every year. We make sure our teachers really care about our student's progress and most of our teachers stay at our school for 2 or more years. I will provide your feedback to the Senior Teacher and Director of Studies and they will make sure that the teachers follow up more with students' exercises from home.
I also wanted to mention that we moved to a new, 50% bigger school February 5th, 2018. This includes a lounge area for students to meet and hang out.
We appreciate your feedback and we will make sure our teacher's are always improving and focusing on our student's progress.
The teachers are very friendly and native speakers I learned a lot. Classes are activities and active so I had fun with many different teachers. I come back now because I enjoyed a lot of experiences. Bangkok is really exciting city with many stuff to do. The apartment was nice but I want to stay closer to school.
Show details » Read more...I was helped many things,I really appreciate everybody who works in this school. I was supposed to take part in General English class in the morning and private class in the afternoon at first. But my plans has changed due to my circumstances. Suddenly I decided to go to university. And then I thought I will not be able to go to this school anymore. But I could go due to this school staff's what they made a new schedule for me. I really want to say thank you so much.
Also I am really enjoying the classes. I could learn a lot of things. Not only about English,teachers taught me cultures of their countries and sometimes Thai culture. Because I just came to Bangkok one month and half ago, I don't know many things more than teachers. It is very helpful and exciting to hear. Each teacher has difference contents and contrive how to teach me. It's really good for students.
Also location is good. It's easy to find this school because almost annexation with BTS.
I can not say about activities because I just take only private lessons.
For my second week in this school (first week in November last year), I was disappointed the first day because I didn't understand
anything a teacher said (one particular) , his accent was, for me incomprehensible, he spoke fast ,and I was lost ! But it wasn't his fault. My choice is to come to this school because there were a lot of teachers with different accent , and I have to hear that to improve with my English. I was unhappy with that bad first day, just for that day. After I followed the lessons diligently. I love the dynamics and serious school, all teachers were considerate, explained the lesson several times, very patient, smiles and sometime would tell some joke to relieve some pressure. Every time I leave the school, I have more confidence to speak English, yes with mistakes, but I can express myself better than last year. It's easy to find the school and the BTS open on the building. Good area with a lot of offices, workers, and street food.
Location and housing were the main reason I decided to study in Bangkok. And I wasn't disappointed. In addition to that, their teaching was very efficient, because of the small classes and the great teachers. Maybe activities were not worth to mention, but as long as you are a little independent Bangkok, it's easy to find something to do in Bangkok (or to pull out a small amount of money for plane for the weekends).
