About these study guides
Thai with Nariss offers seven downloadable Thai language ebooks in PDF, written by Kru Nariss, a TEFL-certified native Thai teacher based in Koh Samui. The collection spans beginner tones and grammar through upper-intermediate reading, plus specialized guides for travelers and Muay Thai practitioners. Priced from 190 THB with instant download.
Not another generic phrasebook
These guides follow the same structured curriculum as the video courses. Each lesson builds on the last, with vocabulary tables, real dialogues, and cultural notes. You learn what to say and when it actually makes sense to say it.
Seven guides, beginner to upper-intermediate
Start with tones and pronunciation, work through grammar and daily-life vocabulary, then level up with 100 reading stories in authentic Thai script. Or pick the guide that matches your goal: travel, Muay Thai training, or general fluency.

What Students Say
In planning my first trip to Thailand, Kru Nariss has been very helpful in building a targeted lesson plan for basic conversation skills. Given the challenge of learning a new language in a short time, I think it's essential to talk with a native speaker. Kru Nariss has provided great advice on pronunciation, and she has a number of sample audio tracks so you can review the sounds of the Thai language on your own time. She also has answered questions I have had about the culture and traveling in the country.
