Just a quick note to parents in the Phuket Town area: Registration underway for 32 different summer classes at Saphan Hin that run from 1-30 April. Most come with a registration fee of just 50 baht.

There are a total of 32 different courses to choose from: martial arts, languages, dancing, sports, etc.

They all run 1-30 April. Registration, now underway, on a first-come, first served basis.

The computer, swimming, Chinese, and English classes are all full already.

Kids need to be 7 years or up to enroll.

Registration at the tessaban office opposite the basketball courts at Saphan Hin,

don't forget if your kid can't speak thai don't bother all classes are in thai..

you have a phone number and a address?

Sorry for the late reply. They have 32 courses.

We signed up my daughter for Russian, Malay language and Thai boxing, but I got a call from the organizer who said she was the only one who enrolled for Russian so they had to scrap the class.

She chose French as a replacement, even though I lobbied against it. (from my own bad experience trying to learn French in Quebec, as well as the mental burden of trying to learn two foreign languages simultaneously).

I can't understand why the Russian was so unpopular given the current trend on the island.

Anyway, the number to contact is 076-250163.

I know swimming, English, tennis and badminton are already full, as there are others we inquired about.

thanks for the info. do you know if there are any music classes?, i'd like my daughter to learn piano and i'm crap at it, can't really teach her
