As someone who is on the journey of learning to read and speak Thai, I make use of a range of resources. I have regular lessons with tutors/teachers online and when possible in person (ตัวต่อตัว). Apart from this I find YouTube videos a fantastic resource and I have begun to list the YouTube channels that I subscribe to below. My list includes channels that I find most useful for someone at my level, which is somewhere between advanced beginer to intermediate.
However, another person (Humphrey) has already created a fantastic listing of learning resources (including YouTube channels) and shared a Google Sheet with these details here: http://shorturl.at/vyAQT. He’s also produced a YouTube video discussing these here: https://youtu.be/HxhMleWkfuc.
Finally, I would make the point that while the following list refers to content that is freely available, where possible I try to support creators by either donating, paying for lessons (with some creators), or purchasing some of their learning resources.
