Khon Kaen Education and Travel Programs is located in the heart of Northeast, Thailand (Isaan). Like many businesses in Southeast Asia, KKETP is staffed primarily by family members. Our organization is committed to providing the Thai community we live in quality education and providing a safe, fun environment for visitors from abroad to be of service and experience the warm and welcoming Isaan culture.
Katt was recently listed as a Thai language teacher on Women Learn Thai. It’s a great website to visit if you’re interested in learning Thai language. Katt is currently teaching 10-12 hours a week on Skype and 5 hours a week face to face in the KKETP classroom at Fairy Plaza here in Khon Kaen. If you’ve been considering taking a course, go for it now before Katt is fully booked!
Mikolka, from California, has started a blog about his gap year experience with us here in Khon Kaen, Thailand. Great photos and interesting stories…

July has finally stopped pretending to be April (the hottest month) and the rains have descended; a welcome return for the young rice crop. This time of year, daily rain is common, though just in torrential, sporadic bursts, especially in the afternoon. Enjoy the following video and check out http://youtube.com/kketp for more viewing options.
We just finished a 10 day Isaan tour. It was our first multi-day excursion. We were able to include a stop at the once a year Pi Ta Khon Festival in Dan Sai, Loei. If you would like to learn more about our long tours, please CLICK HERE.
Starting August 1st, we will have a new office/classroom on the 8th floor of Fairy Plaza. The TEFL course will be taught there as well as several unique English courses. Stop by and enjoy a great view of Khon Kaen city!
Welcome to the BUZZ page! It’s divided into three parts: testimonials, interviews and stories. E-mail kketp1@gmail.com if you would like to make an addition. Don’t forget to take advantage of our TEFL TESOL promotion for September & October.
The TEFL courses in Khon Kaen that begin September, 12th & October, 3rd can be completed in 20 days. These classes are very intensive (6 days a week) and are specially priced at 35,000 baht. Graduates of these courses will be in a prime position for employment for the 2nd semester which starts November 1st.
Katt has recently started her first on-line Thai course using Skype with a gentleman from Australia. We have our first gap year student arriving in July from California and look forward to welcoming an Irish woman to our “Teach“ program later this year. Our tour program is expanding and will include Isaan tours of up to 16 days soon. We look forward to seeing you in the future!
Currently, Katt is enjoying teaching Thai language to a woman from Sweden and a man from the UK. Reading books and listening to CDs definitely helps if you want to learn a foreign language, but nothing is more effective than one on one, face to face lessons from an experienced, native speaker. Katt is now available on-line via Skype for video Thai lessons. The cost is $8 per hour (240 Baht) and can be booked in 10 hour blocks. Katt also offers “Isaan” language courses-the dialect of Northeast, Thailand. See our COURSE PAGE for more information. Enjoy our recent, new videos on YOUTUBE.
