Shoeboat Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm considering sending my son to a boarding school in Asia, most likely Bangkok as his mother is Thai. I don't know if I am putting the wrong thing into Google but it isn't coming up with much. Rather than visit all the boarding schools I want to visit an agent who can answer all my questions and recommend a shortlist of places to visit when I am next over. Does anyone know of any such agencies in the capital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoeboat Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm just after a list of agencies, not the schools themselves. I have heard good things about a few of them, including Harrow. I will only have a couple of days there so I just want to go through an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayongchelsea Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Most educational agencies primarily advise about study abroad. Europe us Canada oz etc. I can't think of an agency that deals with local or even other parts of Asia. Plus the kid will have to take an entrance exam, there maybe waiting lists etc..for the boarding school even if successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoeboat Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Okay thankyou, I found a list of agencies in Thailand. I assume they all deal with boarding schools in the west. Cheers SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdoc Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Try Shrewsbury School. Very good results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGIE Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 try Wells International School. but they have screening test there. If your son cannot pass, they will ask you to bring him first to another international school then come back when your son is capable of passing their screening..

Cheers SB ShoeBoat ... why not attach that list or display the website, so that others have access to the information? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If you have the money, I wouldn't consider Thailand for boarding school. It's a poor imitation. New Zealand, Australia, UK or south Africa much much better bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayongchelsea Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Agree. But week-ends at home are important if the parents in future reside here and also the consideration in the speaking, reading and writing of Thai.
