All Thai International Schools appear to charge a registration fee for enrolling a child into their program. What do the said child or parents receive in return for this often extortionate and seemingly unnecessary charge???

Unless I'm mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong) there are absolutely no benefits received in return.

Obviously in Thailand education is a business and the schools are expected to charge tutorial fees for the child’s education in order to survive and compete but I find this additional administration charge totally unjust.

How as teachers on often extremely low wages do you manage to give your child a decent education and still remain in Thailand?

During the end of term break my family (mother, father, brother and sisters) will be visiting for about 4 weeks.

As I am still relatively new to Thailand and appeal to those of you who have been here for a while.

Where in BKK would you take your family if they were to visit?

I don't know bankok very well but it would be nice if I could give them a good tourof the city.

Also will be considering visiting a beach but only for about 2-3 days so because of the short period it would be ideal if it was relatively close to BKK-any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks a million!!

I have just secured a teaching position teaching Kindergarden in C/M and this is my first position teaching this age group. I hope to focus on games on many different topics.

Do you have any games that might help me teaching ESL to this age group?

Thanks Pepsi
