The website is in Thai, and not particularly informative, but that is nosurprise. Has anyone out there had any experience with Wattana Wittaya?

There are many good international schools to fit your budget.

It's not strictly a boarding school for girls. My neighbor's daughter comes home every night from Wattana Witaya.
She's in the English program, speaks Chinese at home, and Thai with the kids in the neighborhood. Her English is better than the local kids who go to a bilingual school.
Sorry, no first hand information about the school.

"it is very close to my house." BINGO. Since she is only 5, I would take the schhol close to my house.

However, when she is older, do consider a good INTERNATIONAL school. Like NIST, Shrewsbury, etc.
