Re: Schools review in Hua Hin ? Vithayalai School or Somtawin ?

As you probably already know nanyang there is only one "international' school in the Hua Hin area and that's the new one, can't remember it's name. Others such as Somtawin and Yamsaard may pretend to be proper international schools but they're not. Somtawin is all about money with no real subs...

Re: Schools review in Hua Hin ? Vithayalai School or Somtawin ?

I would have though the best school within your budget is Beacon House Yamsaard . My children have attended for years and I am impressed with the quality of the education they receive. Last December I visited Canada many people commented on how advanced my children were for their ages and their mas...

Re: Schools review in Hua Hin ? Vithayalai School or Somtawin ?

I don't think there is a lot of difference in any of the mentioned schools. Given that the teachers usually move between them, I think it is fair to assume that the teaching standards are more or less the same. I agree with the comments about Somtawin only being interested in money, my daughter goe...

Re: Schools review in Hua Hin ? Vithayalai School or Somtawin ?

It would appear, from your budget, that your options are limited. Have you checked out how much Somtawin would cost you for two students? Salesian, from the opinions of those who live in Hua-Hin, is your best option. Make sure you keep them up to speed at home with French. I left Thailand three yea...

Re: Schools review in Hua Hin ? Vithayalai School or Somtawin ?

pin86, To give you my opinion, based on many years involved in 'education' in Thailand, it would be helpful to know the nationality of your children and which International school are you referring to? Thanks for your reply. We are living in Krabi and plan to move to HH in april 2017. My daugthers ...

Could you share any experience of Vithayalai School or Somtawin ? Which one is the best ? Do you know another school with the English program ? Thanks for your a...
