Thank you every one for responding to my inquiry. I apologize for not responding until now, but I have actually had login problems with the browser I was using, so have had to install a new browser to write this reply.
Just to complicate what I was saying, my grandson decided to change his mind the day before the end of the semester, and so in the end I have paid boarding and school fees for the next semester. His said he changed his mind because he wanted to be with his friends at school... and he says the worst bully has stopped and made friends with him, and another bully is not picking on him as much.
In explanation to one of the questions: he boards because I cannot help him with Homework which is mostly in Thai.
So he has to do homework at school where teachers are there to help him every day. also, just as an aside, I also wanted my grandson to live at home, so I can get him started on a self defence program, something like Aikido or JuJitso. So this will have to wait until he completes the next semester (March next year).
So keeping this short and to the point... yes I was pretty cranky with the school staff at the time, but I also understand that they are doing what they have been told to do. I was quite prepared to have a confrontation but in the end it was unnecessary and the bullying will be solved when my grandson starts learning some self defense. For now I have organized a system for him to SOS if he needs it, and I have also reassured him I am there for him when ever he needs it.
Thats about all I can do. So again, thank you everyone for responding with advice and thoughts. I genuinely appreciate it.

Background: The Mid Semester break has started, and I went to the school to check next semesters fees so I can pay them for the next semester next week. In the school office I said I wanted to pay for school fees for next semester, but not boarding fees. Just school fees no boarding fees as I want him to live at home next semester (reason is below).
The school provides boarding facilities and I have been paying for boarding since he started in Por 1, 3-1/2 years ago. But the school says I cannot remove him from boarding mid year.
My understanding is that I have full authority to decide whether the boy boards or not, and if he chooses not to board any more because of bulling issues, then I have every right to bring him home to live. Or don't I? Does he really have to continue living at the school for another half a year and continue to be bullied?
The school is one of the better Thai, fee paying schools, and I am unaware of any legal, education department or govenment print that says once a child starts boarding, they can not be removed. So my question is: can the school bosses really say I can't take him out to live at home, especially since they have not resolved the bully issue since that was brought to their attention (several months ago).
Sorry but I dont want to name the school for obvious reasons.
Clean street and "mall plaza" food recommendations?

Spelling mistakes
For a really nice small place for burgers, steaks, Hot Dogs, even fish, Spaghetti Carbonara and Sausage and Mash, try this really good Thai owned and run restaurant in Santitham. Known as Marks Burgers, the owners learned the business from Mikes Original. Look for Nana Bakery and Marks Burgers is right next door. They also have a Facebook page but I dont use that so cant tell you where it is. But I do know you can Google the name in Google Maps.
Really great value and I do mean great value, great quality, spotlessly clean and an interesting menu. Enjoy and tell me here after you have tried it.
