Children are the future and legacy of all mankind. Our greatest duty is to distil our experiences and knowledge for the next generation. Before reaching adulthood, every child should be smarter than their parents. We all think we are at that point, but few are.
Are you familiar with this “Moving to Thailand” timeline? A friend of yours recounts a recent trip to Thailand, that sounds wonderful. You plan a trip of your own. While here, your mind is blown and you go home asking yourself; How can I move/work/retire there?
Thailand is a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family. The immersion of living in, learning from, and growing with cultural diversity provides a global mindset, cultural awareness, empathy, language skills, and more. As adults, we also grow with diverse experiences.
I appreciate the simplicity in Thailand and the mentality of sabai sabai (no worries). I feel my children are safe, free, and loving Thailand. An international school in Bangkok will provide a thorough, simple, easy-to-understand syllabus that accentuates their individuality while seamlessly integrating multi-national diversity.
Your children will be learning next to other children of diverse backgrounds from Europe, ASEAN, and North America. Your children will travel the world in one classroom, create lasting friendships, and growth opportunities, with more cultural exposure than most people experience in a lifetime.
Embrace the advantages of remote learning with subject tutors to bolster weaker topics or to encourage your child to advance in their favourite path. I struggled with learning Thai and my schedule couldn’t fit regular classes. My career was dependent upon me developing better language skills.
The premade online videos focused on basic conversation, and I needed mechanical, technical vocabulary, and conceptual discussion abilities. I found PrePly to be a great fit for my need for a one-on-one tutor for a reasonable rate and a loose schedule. An online resource can focus on a specific subject for you and your family to improve.
A three-week action-packed international school summer camp in Phuket is full of challenges, team building, camaraderie, creativity, leadership, and experience in nature. They are open to students 4-14 and scheduled to fill long national holiday breaks.
Chiang Mai has large, long-term established international communities. In a quainter manner than Bangkok, various authentic cultures, foods, and fashion are available to make you feel more “at home” in your new home. Each province delivers a new combination of seasonal timing, cultural conditions, history, and bio-diversity to explore.
Throughout education, we refer to history for lessons, regardless of subject matter. The history of the educational system in Thailand will answer questions and possibly create new ones. Learn more about the history of Thai education by reading this paper.
I will admit I am biased. I love living in Thailand, but don’t want to encourage everyone to move here. I am more selfish than that. There is one remote island that I dream of melting into eternity on. Can you guess which one?
