Hey GMAT club members, I am so happy that I found this forum 
I'm now spending a few weeks doing a project in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and i have plenty of free time to study.
I looked up and saw that there are many available spots to take the exam, so was thinking to take it here in two weeks.
But the problem is.. i do not speak Thai almost at all.
And I was wondering - could that be a problem?
I never took the exam before, so not sure how it will be like. Of course the exam itself is in English, but what about the instructions? And are the testers going to talk with us test-takers at all? Will I need to communicate with the tester in any given time ?
Taking it here could be an ideal solution for me ,but I wouldn't want to waste the money and effort and then on the exam day realize that I have any sort of disadvantage due to not speaking the local language.
Please let me know your thoughts, any insight will be appreciated!
Thank your very much

Hola Buenos Aires,
I took the test in a non-english speaking country too and the Testcenter staff spoke decent English (to the English people who took the test at the same time as I did)
Additionally you will have Google translator when it matters and once the phone is off limits the instructions will be in English anyhow.
Buena suerte,
Chris
