Thai education system leaves a lot to be desired, kids spend too much time in school and too much time with homework. When my daughter was 12 I pulled her out of school so she could have a chance at a successful life in the world. She turned 21 yesterday she speaks German and English at a C1 level has lived and worked in Europe for 2 years now she has returned to Thailand for a bachelors that she will finish in Europe.
I understand this is a very unique situation but a student in the Thai system k-12 will have a difficult time to assimilate into the western world. Not to mention how they look down on Women in this country.
