I asked for the Emergency Service and she started giving me the direct telephone number for the Emergency Department. Further ...

Hi Wendy it was in the text of my letter but has been deleted by the moderator.

Hi Wendy, There are only two schools in Hua Hin offering IGCSE for your son one is Somtawin the other is Halio. [ Mod Edit ] Somtawin schools started the IGCSE syllabus this year. The school year for Somtawin ends on the 15 March. The next school year starts on the 14 May. Somtawin has 260+ students...

The opening Paragraph says, "Examples can be found throughout Thailand, but the focus here will be Hua Hin" As the article keeps referring to Hua Hin I quite naturally assumed that as the author states "but the focus here will be Hua Hin" that he was focusing to Hua Hin. If he wa...

My daughter attends Somtawin English School and has just started a two year IGCSE courses. I'm really interested in the prestigious, international school which the author claims is located in Hua Hin. Can someone help me out? "The daughter of a good friend was enrolled in a prestigious, interna...

Has anyone been to Bangkok China Town recently. I need to do some serious shopping for the Somtawin School Annual Christmas Fete and want to know if I should take my boat, waders or snorkel?

To clarify the current position on this thread all fees due to the school have now been paid in full except for a few instances where families are having difficulties finding a lump sum and in those cases the school has entered into an agreement with the parents and implemented alternative monthly p...

POOSMATE WROTE “At the moment Somtawin is sitting on the international education fence. It offers IGCSE courses but exams must be sat elsewhere. This result in all coursework not being allowed to be taken into consideration consequently an A or B grade cannot be achieved” Somtawin is not an Internat...

This is a very good topic, one that few parents have considered. My daughter is 13 and holds a UK passport. I hope she will sit at least 10 of the 11 IGCSE subjects offered at Somtawin and then return to UK for further education. If she stayed here and did A levels in Thailand we would then be faced...

Roxy looks like my information is wrong. I will be meeting the school principle on Monday, we are discussing an exchange program with a school in Australia, following the successful exchange with Austria, and the introducing the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme for the senior grades.
