Education in Thailand, Bangkok
International schools in Bangkok are for students aged 3 to 18 and are mainly found in the Bangkok area. The students are almost exclusively well motivated, honest, well behaved and success oriented. They are from families who are ambitious, who value education and who are keen on academic progress.
Many schools in Thailand employ assistants who are able to sort out display work, photocopying etc so that you can get on with the job of teaching.
