Well I have only been here 6 years and did not realize this one is a new one. The way it was posted I thought that there had been a accident just in the last few years and I had misses it,
So.... you're saying that not everything posted on this forum by everyone is always accurately worded?
My god. 
But the new one has been in place probably by at least six years, probably more. You can likely find the date of the accident on Google, then there was no service for some time (2 years?) then the new one opened.Quote
It would be nice if they had some thing accessible to the handicapped people but that is a long way off.
Was just thinking about that earlier this morning, that this funicular/elevatorallows the elderly and less mobile to visit the temple; even if it's not fully wheelchair accessible, it's still a helluva lot more feasible for some grandmother to use compared to those stairs! (And I have a feeling that they'll find a way to get people in wheelchairs up there too, even if it means some assistance by two burly Thais.)

My daughter is having difficulty with languages in general. that's on top of us not being an english speaking family. so i'd have to rule it out.
In that case I really don't understand why you would want an international school, or even a bilingual school or English program. International schools exist BECAUSE they offer all classes in English, to a UK or US curriculum. They are most suited for families who are staying in Thailand temporarily, for example because they're placed here by an employer or government for some period of time, but will then be moving on and their kids will still need to fit into the UK or US educational system. That's why they can charge a premium: UK/US standards for everything, and companies and governments paying the bills no matter how stratospheric they get.
If you don't want any of that including the language, then you should not be even looking at international schools but at good quality private Thai schools. There are many of those in Chiang Mai.
