charlotte Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hi! My family and I are moving to Bangkok in August for a one-year period. We have no idea where to live in Bangkok and would be happy for some advice. We also need a good pre-school for our daughter who is 5 year. I checked some pre-schools but they were very expensive for us, like 200 000 baht for yearly fee and around 10 000 baht per month. Perhaps is normal fee but for us a little bit too much. So we are looking for a nice residential area in Bangkok near good English pre-school and near a BTS station. Monthly rent maximum 30 000 included electricity, ADSL – apartment with balcony or small house, 3 bedroom As we work with Internet we can basically stay anywhere in Bangkok as long as it is near a BTS station. Any suggestions? Thanks! Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake7 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hullo Charlotte, You might want to look at Bangkok Garden (www.bangkokgarden.com) which is in a good location and has New Sathorn International School attached to it. If you haggle you can probably get a 2 bed 2 bathroom apartment there for about 35,000 per month. It is a very family orientated apartment complex with kiddie pools and a playground. NSIS is very good but expensive. Howeevr if you want expat teachers that is the price you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlotte Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 thanks.. I think we rather prefer to rent privat direct and not live in a complex Is it easy to find thai pre-school with English program? /Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margie Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I have a friend whos children (5 and 6 yrs) attend the Bangkok Christian College. I remember her saying that the fee is around 30 000 per year, but for Thai program. The school also has an English (or bi-langual) program but it is more expensive, but how much, I don't know. I believe all the less expensive school follow the thai curriculum, which means that the school starts in mid May, has a one month break in October, and continues until the end February. For cheaper apartments you can find accross the river from Sathor/Silom. That's where we live too, and it is a LOT more quiet on this side. For BTS you would have to take a bus or a shuttle bus.
