On soi watdaeng on the samut prakan side on the srinakarin there is a small thai motor cycle shop the rebuilds honda shadows and the quality is not to bad. They se...

Samroiyodwittayakhom school or Somtawin school?

Thanks for the reply.
I guess from what is said there is no real quality education in Hua Hin which is sad.
So which school is better equipped, with properly teachers (Bed or PGC qualified), Samroiyodwittayakhom school or Somtawin school?
