After cruising around Hua Hin for some years and being particularly interested in the Education scene, I am amazed by the number of unlicensed schools offering English classes (mostly with a Thai teachers). Also surprised seeing a licenced school now offering Norwegian course (with a Thai teacher) a...

I think that you mean the 4th Floor.

New school in Pranburi

I was delighted to hear that the The Learning Centre is opening a school in Pranburi. Have many friends in the Pranburi / Pak Nam Pra area who I have heard comments over the past year or so of the lack of a language school, both for themselves and their kids, in the area. And having to travel to Hua...

Re: new international school near black mountain

They also think of opening Year 7 in 2015, but they need at least 15 requests from parents of 10-11 year old children (who will be 11-12 year old the next year). They currently have around 10 requests. So if anyone is interested of putting his/her child to Year 7 of this international school the ne...

Re: Private Thai Language Lessons

Just a friendly warning...
I know of 3 farangs offering private lessons who were deported this year for working without a Work Permit.
Don't forget that there are Thais who read this and other forums.... also some jealous farangs.

BDM or at least the "D" or the Death part of it

Being at an age when one starts thinking of such things, and having long decided that I will stay in Hua Hin until I am deceased... a couple of questions come to mind. I am not a Buddhist but I desire a simple local cremation at a local Temple. I have been told some Temples require a fee and others ...

Just the opinion of an old lady who likes to intrude in such things.... This school, in my opinion, is the most highly regarded and respected language school in the area. From seamus72 comments, he was aware that the management people were absent for medical reasons. In my opinion he should have PM'...

Re: English Language Conversation classes

Many times I have spoken to expat friends and they often voice the problem of communicating with their partners. And ditto for me to communicate with them.
This sounds great and at such a low price.
Can the teacher communicate in both Thai and English?

In fact, I heard more about this from another source. One that I consider 100% reliable.
