Our Story: From Local School to Global Thai Buddy
Our teaching journey began in 2017 as a small physical school in Sydney CBD. Our very first students were Thai heritage children born and raised in Australia.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the decision to shift fully online—and that decision changed everything.
In just a few years, we grew from a Sydney-based school with 40 students into a global learning community with over 300 active learners from around the world.
In 2023, we launched Thai Buddy, the current brand dedicated to adult learners.
Our mission is simple:
Thai Buddy – your buddy for language and fun outing.
