Holding students to ransom over their visa is a despicable act, these 'schools' should be named and shamed, they seem to be no more than mafia businesses.

E-Dick was either born with a silver spoon in his mouth or really is living in cloud-cuckoo land - stop having sprogs you expat muppets - you're too poor for the privilege! Victor Bloody Meldrew springs to mind!
Thanks to those that have clarified the situation at Somtawin.

So would it be ok for a hospital to eject a sick patient that is behind on his bill?

Not really seeking opinion - just clarification of whether this is actually happening, potential patrons should be aware.

Two parents with kids at Somtawin English have independently told me that the school has threatened to send their kids home because they are late on fee payments that they were previously allowed to pay monthly. Is it true? If the school is being run like an Italian mafioso business many may have se...

So why the bloody hell are you having children in the first place if you can't cobble together enough money for them to have a decent education..... are you thick or what???? Looks like I've touched a nerve with E-dick over there. Who said I have children anyway? So, according to you, only the fina...

Who pays 100k+ for an English School, average fees at Somtawin are 89k with big discounts for siblings. It's not always the fees, it's the standard of education and the child's future. OK, 89k +books, +uniforms, +transport, +food, +trips, +extras etc etc etc is well over 100k. I agree that the educ...

Sorry off topic I know but just curious.... I am assuming you are farang so your child will either be farang or Luuk Krung (sp) so why on earth would he be in a Thai school. Bit of a stupid statement that ... perhaps not everyone with "luuk krungs" can afford 100k+ per year for an "E...

Hmm health care from a bloke called tony you met in the pub, think I'll take my chances without it!

Friend of mine has just been up there, said it looks almost complete and should be opening next term.

The OP was on about pregnancy in which case she had already been advised about Petcharat. As far as I can see San Paolo are fine with simple stuff like cleaning motorbike scrapes and visual impairments but anything trickier than a common cold forget it, they'll diagnose whatever they feel like to sa...

when will this country simply become too expensive to live in? When costs start to get closer to the country you left and your expenses exceed your income. Thailand has always wanted the "elite" falang, or simply just the rich, well keep wanting and there will be none left, the rich go to...

Because the municipality (tessaban) received the house & land for free from the female land owner. Exactly, and what did the land owner get in return one must ask... Also seems bizarre that the government who have masses of land can't or won't locate it a little more conveniently. I'm surprised...

Why aren't we reading about HH property agents and developers being busted for violating Thai labor law. They may have a work permit to manage a business but do not have one to sell property or am I wrong here? Guess it depends on whose being paid off, anyone figured out yet why the Hau Hin immigra...
