Had a bit of a shock today when our daughter was accepted for a nursery at one of the private schools in central bangkok. Deposit 30k, annual fee 350k. But the admission fee I expected to be around 50-60k. Nope.

A whooping 120,000 baht.

Is this normal?

It may help those who want to get back to their loved ones at least..  less hoops and embassy <deleted>. More reasonable flight costs hopefully.

Rumours of tags is slightly alarming tho

There are quite a few hotel and apartment buy to let businesses in real trouble. Inc famous Swedish resort where owners haven't seen  rental income from last season and the owner hasn't returned emails in months. Sad times in koh lanta 

Digging up this thread as I'm looking for slaked lime plaster too, but adding marble dust etc to make an italian plaster. 

If I purchase the ingredients mentioned in this thread for slaked lime, i assume it doesnt need to be stored in a cool place for 3 months before use?

I take it the hardware store in 71 is the old one, close to ekkamai 12 turning?

Very stupid. No one will go because thry made it another generic street. 

Same all over bangkok, this admin killed the soul of the city. 

Trust me, you are the sensible ones 

Thanks everyone. The schools are taking deposits still, the wife is worried we've left it a little late but I'm pretty sure we haven't.. in the current climate

Are there Montessori schools in bk?

Its 400000b plus registration and some other fee, total 550000b. Crazy

Its called Regent's 

Hi there, can anyone recommend one that is good, not too expensive.

My daughter is already 2 so need to enrol soon. Also are any schools doing deals in the current climate. 

The wife who is a spoilt rich kid, has no concept of money sadly. The one she wants is £14k for first yr inc enrollment fees etc. I just cant afford anything nr that atm!

I'm ok with it if it's not too crazy.  example of when its not fair  - long tail takes you to a beach of their choice, as you set foot on the sand theres a guy with a book of tickets forcing you to pay 400 b park fee each

Suan Dok Krachao, Bang Krachao. Basically a made for tourist flower park

 kind of reminds me of the teletubbies set but with more flowers. 

Reading Richard Barrows FB page, he managed to persuade a flower park in 'the green lung' to scrap their dual pricing. Bravo. 

 I can accept to a point, so just wondering which attractions in Thailand offer free/same/ fairer pricing (even if dual).

A Thaivisa list wd be great.

I agree, many western families and young couples, never seen so many foreigners on the beach daytime. Beach road at night is a good atmosphere and could almost feel like somewhere in Europe....but no Chinese the past few weeks and definitely very very few bar hopping sexpats with bars empty.

Exactly what i saw too

Whereabouts ?

I am at Jomtien and its the busiest I have seen it in the 5 years I have lived here. 

 

I was there on friday and, well.. yes.. plenty of russians back this yr. Must mean thailand is super busy

 Ive never seen it so quiet..

What do you make of it? I see alot of small hotel businesses up for sale suddenly.

In Chiang Mai, things must be bad .. I was solicited in 7/11 yesterday 

I prefer a lady who worked her ass off to the aristocrat wannabee's leaching off her bro in law.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks! So basically any foreign passport regardless of visa 

Hi, as above-  does spouse need shengen if already living in uk on a settlement visa? 

Thank you!

There will be another £ dip when we hit negotiations. But hopefully after we leave, all good. 

Anyway its not the £ you shd watch next yr....

Dreamliner has crazy tight economy.. most do 3 3 3.
