Company Profile

The British Council is the UK's international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations with overseas countries. Established by Royal Charter as an independent organisation, we work closely with the British Government's Foreign & Commonwealth Office and with the British Embassy in each of the 110 countries in which we operate.

 The purpose of the British Council is to enhance the reputation of the UK in the world as a valued partner. This objective, first drawn up more than 60 years ago, remains the overall mission of the British Council's network of 218 offices worldwide. It is founded on the belief that the culture, creativity, languages and way of life of a nation can be shared abroad as a means of strengthening mutual understanding and collaboration.

 The British Council has been building relationships between Thailand and the UK since 1938. We established our first separate offices in Bangkok in 1952. We now operate from a network of 3 centres in Bangkok in Siam Square, Pinklao and Ladprao and a centre in Chiang Mai.

 We build long-term partnerships and networks between Thailand and the UK. We do this by projecting creativity and creating opportunities to connect with the latest skills, ideas and experience
