Using the Puayhua Public School and the private Ruamrudee International School as case study subjects, a deep and systematic study of Chinese teaching and learning in Thailand is explored through the perspectives of both the teacher and the student. The advantages and shortcomings in the teaching environment are examined, and recommendations are made for these Chinese language teaching institutions.
