It's important to remember that none of these vaccines are approved in the US. 

 

The Pfizer vaccine fact sheet says the following, 

 

"The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine."

 

and

 

"There is no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19 "

 

The vaccines have been made available in the US under Emergency Use Authorization.

Why is this important? 

The saying, "he couldn't see the forest from the trees", comes to mind.

What is the goal of international school? To grow up and live and work in a western country? Why not just move to a Western country now and save 12,000,000 baht in fees? If the goal is to work in Thailand, unless you become the CEO of a large company, are you really going to make your money back? Doctors really don't seem to make that much in Thailand. 

Private schools where I am from in the USA cost a fraction of these schools but the local salaries are drastically higher.

A report by The Fry Group examined international school fees across Asia –Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia – as well as the UK. It found that Thai international school fees are among the lowest – 21.7% cheaper than Singapore. 

Singapore gdp per capita $57,000
Thailand gdp per capita $6,500 
 

I can appreciate that land prices in Bangkok are quite expensive, but private school fees do seem quite expensive by any measure in Thailand.  

To be fair, "i work 2 months a year in my home country and come to Thailand on perpetual tourist visas the other 10 months" does sound like <deleted>.
