Hi guys, thanks for all the nice and not so nice comments. We are indeed working on opening the school as soon as we can but it takes some time. Also we have a new project opening another Walen school in Ko Phangan. We have excellent staff working in Samui already so I am confident things will work out well.

I will keep you posted. Khun Joy is our regional manager so you will see her a lot. She did a great job in Phuket and now moved on to a new assignment in Samui and Ko Phangan.

Given the circumstances, I think none of the comments were "not so nice."
But it's nice of you to finally remember us....
Were you going to tell us where the school is or is the hearsay post correct?

We are working hard on it. At the moment it does not look too good. A lot of modifications to make it into a proper school. We will have 9 classrooms including a large lecture classroom sitting at least 30 students. We will have 6 toilets which should be plenty. 3 balconies, one very large. It will look very nice once we are done. We have a rent agreement for 6 years so it is worth investing. Will keep you posted. As you can tell we expect to have a lot of students -)

There are free teaching Thai and English language at Walen Samui.  We will start the free teaching next week. The schedule of both class would be as the following information:

Thai lesson: Every Tue and Thu 13:00 to 14:50 *Start on this Tue 14th, Feb*

English lesson: Every Mon and Fri 17:00 to 18:50 *Start on this Mon 13rd, Feb*

For more information please do not hesitate to contact me on this number : +66(0)809882302

P.S. We will teach free of charge till we officially open the school.

[insertmembernamehere]

Looks like that might be a month or so.....yes?

[MacWalen]

Could be even longer than a month. We train teachers so some lessons might not be perfect but they are free. Everybody is welcome to try our method. It really works, even for those who find learning Thai very hard.

[insertmembernamehere]

This offer includes those who can read and write Thai as well?

Depends on how many students at a higher level we can find. At first we will start with beginners but we will also have classes at higher levels but not immediately.

[PoorSucker]

Can you tell the location?
The address : 17/11-12 Moo.1 says nothing.

I man next to "whatever" resort.......

[MacWalen]

We are making progress with the construction.

I am looking for exact GPS coordinates. Also we will show it on the Google maps so it will be very easy to find.

Also we like this forum and we would like it to continue so Walen decided to support it and become a sponsor. TV visa needs funds to keep up the good work, you can see our banner on the right hand side, we have to improve the text. Our designer will fix it shortly.

We are close to Peace Resort hotel on the ocean side. We will be putting up light boxes soon so it will be very easy to find us.

Went to Walen school today. While your map did help me find it, your pin is about 300m away from where it should be - it should be right near that 4169 badge. Once you get signs up to will be easier though, the only reason I found it today was Joy's purple top!

You can still see the teaching style. Things are just beginning for Walen in Samui and it takes time to build business and reputation as especially at the early stage we have to train staff to perform quality work.

Sorry for that, everything will be fixed, we are dealing with a lot of construction issues that are not related to teaching and have to be done. Sometimes there is not much water in Samui (so we have been told) so we needed to install 3 tanks 2,000 L each and a pump, 6000 L capacity will be plenty for a school. Fixing the back, making new columns to make sure things are strong etc. It is quite a lot of work.

No problems at all. Was just an FYI, for you and anyone else on here who went looking for it.

Hi all.
I have two questions to the school managers.

I and my two friends want to visit Samui next month.
We want to study at your school at least for one year.
We are not native English speakers, so we want to choose English courses.

So the questions are:

1) Will you provide us a 1-year Education Visa?

2) I know, that i must renew 1-year Education Visa every three months in the Immigration Office.
The main question is - can i renew it at Koh Samui Nathon local Immigration office, or should i travel to Bangkok to renew it?
The second question is really important.

Thank you very much.
