100k is too much, that is unless they think he has it to spare.

4.1% on two year bonds, starting to look at least a little interesting.

TNB up to 4.45 on two year deposit, I am sure with restictions, and a large deposit

Isetan in BKK maybe.

Also try the 100Yen ( or 100 baht, whatever it is they charge in Thailand ) shop close to Fuji Supermarket on Soi .....31 I think

certainly they have the oroiginal style type there

What about the option of rolling up with the cash and letting them see it and how serious you are? You want to buy today if the price is right, anyone tried that tactic?

Before embarking on your choice, take time out to consider where and what it is that you want to do in the long term.

If your desire is to remain in Thailand, then Thai language is a must at a very competent level.

There is it seems a mix of quality. However places like AIT I would hold in high regard, and there are others.

Cost is another consideration a degree at a top Ivy league colleague in USA will nbot be the same as a placement in Thailand. In general teh approach to completing teh degree seems more flexible in Thailand.

If at the end of your studies you have mastered Thai, obtained your qualification then the social network built over time will no doubt pay dividends.

If your desire is to just study an MBA what about remote learning?

I would urge you to think long term and then plan the steps that will take you in that general direction, then planning teh steps between including what to study and where to study will be easier to accomplish
