so far i've found http://www.best-burapha.com at 19,000 bath per term and Montessori Children's Center http://www.geocities.com/mcciptty/ with no prices on there site . International School Eastern Seaboard at 406,000 bath per year. http://www.ise.ac.th/admissions.html and regents at i think around 300,000 bath per year http://regents-school.com/ the burpa one definatly looks appealing at the price . will go have a look this afternoon with my son i guess .. are there no expats who use any schools on the forums ?

soi 29 , 3rd rd, nr fire station 3 bed townhouse (or 2 bed + 1 office) 3 toilets no garden . parking a little awkward as well 15,000 bath / month .. does that sound ok ? or OTT ?

anyone know about international schools in patts ? planning on a minimum 12 month stay and my 2 english kids will be in tow (probably) 8yrs & 3 yrs, as hopefully have some work commitments to keep me here.. i was chatting with a guy and he said there about $3000 per year . is that right ? so where are they are which are good & bad .. i know regents is good but almost definatly more pricey than 3k/yr i'd think

mmm .. yes .. good idea . but i should of phrased the question better really .. although a bit late now anyways as fly back to the UK in 2 days for a few weeks LT TGF & I .. we went down to phuket for a few days the other week and went to phantasea show while there so i was trying to find out how alangkarn compared b4 wasting any $$ on it

to those whow have been to both the alangkarn show in pattaya and the phantasea show in phuket which is better ? ie size, quality of performance etc . a bit bored today after 3 weeks so feel like doing something other than a bar tonight

i know that .. i'm not asking about names/companies etc as already know the score .. its specificly land with sor por kor contract ... or am i approaching this from the wrong end .. do i the land purchased then so the lease 30+30 on the house i build and it not matter about the land type .. was just my understadning that this type of land was problematic

i've been looking at buying some land up country near sakeo .. (wangnamyen to be more precise) . there seem to many type of land ownership Sor Por Kor /Nor Sor 3 Gor/chanot among them however most village ones do seem to be be Sor Por Kor as the goverment have not got round to surveying them yet .. so at this very early stage i'm going to asume the land is this .. so technicaly it cannot be bought/sold/leased/owned and anything built on it it likely to be claimed by a strange thai man that pops out ofthe wood work after you complete builing your dream house i'd like to know any expe

had thought about trying the nelson out just to see what staying on soi6 was like but won't now .. got to get a plug in for residence garden .. i've stayed in 13 different places all spoken about on the forums and i can only rate 2 of them . The Vault and of course residence garden don't really like the road noise in some of the rooms at the vault however the penthouse rooms are awesome . and if your names charlie all the laundy is same day and free of charge !! very clean place as well ..

cheapest way to do it .. transfer to thai account that is , and this is how i do it . paypal .. 1st off you need your USA or UK paypal account linked to your UK/USA details .. bank account, credit card etc .. then create a new Thai paypal account .. link this to you thai bank account , in my case bank of siam .. (bank of siam i find quite good as i can topup the GF's phone direct in LOS if i wish from the UK on there webpage and also there interent banking is good and in english) then simply send yourself a paypal payment from one tothe other and withdraw the funds to your Thai ban
