上周三，泰国南部某中学17岁的学生陈梅花一大早就乘车来到当地的新汉语水平考试(HSK)考点候考。她说：“我的爷爷是华人，全家人都很支持我学习汉语。我从14岁就开始学习汉语，(至今)学习汉语的三年，已经获得HSK三级考试证书，此次前来参加四级考试。”
陈梅花说，因为喜欢学习汉语，她每天都要花两个小时学习，平时也喜欢阅读和欣赏中文的书籍、电视剧和歌曲。今年上高中三年级的她还准备报考中国的大学。
据报道，来自泰南八府的417名学生参加了当天的HSK考试，这是迄今为止泰国南部规模最大的一次汉语水平考试，参考人数比往年增加20%以上。考生的年龄跨度很大，既有年仅八岁的小学生，也有65岁的国际学校汉语教师，并包括了不少社会人士。此外，还有来自英国、马来西亚、新加坡等国的留学生报名。
随着中泰交往的日益频繁，泰南的大中小学校普遍开设汉语课程。普吉孔子学院中方院长张新玲说，应泰南地区广大汉语学习者的需求，该院每年要举行六到十次新汉语水平考试，除HSK考试外，还有汉语水平口语考试(HSKK)、少儿汉语考试(YCT)、商务汉语考试(BCT)等。仅2012年在该院参加各类考试的考生就有2483人。
据报道，HSK考试是全球统一的汉语水平考试，是检测汉语教学的最重要标准。张新玲说，在泰国南部，HSK考试不仅是汉语学习者学习成果的重要体现，更是当地青少年赴中国留学以及用人单位检验应聘者汉语水平的普遍标准，成为了当地青年就业的一块“敲门砖”。
在普吉孔院董里分部，旅游管理专业学生们在修完大学规定的旅游汉语课程后，必须通过HSK一定级别的考试，才可获得政府注册的导游证。
汉语水平的重要性在泰南旅游胜地普吉尤为突出。今年到泰国旅游的中国游客估计达300万人，而被誉为“安达曼海上的一颗明珠”的普吉岛是她们首选旅游景点之一。当地政府机构、机场、酒店、旅行社等越来越需要汉语人才，汉语教学和考试开启泰国学生新的职业道路。
