As helpful (and incredibly witty) as ever. Poor you, you must be so bored!

Does anyone know if there is an age restriction at this concert?

Thanks

Good question, as unless you have a good network of friends with kids, it is hard to find out about such things here - well, in Krabi Town anyway.

My son did taekwondo at Soul of Yoga Studio in Talat Gaow for a while. I think there are classes every evening except Sunday. We might change to the other taekwondo class taught by a Korean - opposite Kwan Music Shop on the road leading to the pier - Soi Technique - same road Technical Collge is on. I think it is cheaper and the owner is more serious about teaching a sport than making as much money as possible, unlike Soul of Yoga. In our experience anyway.

Kid's yoga is also on offer at Soul of Yoga every Saturday.

There are also kid's piano lessons on offer in the music shop close to the prison in Krabi Town.

Swimming lessons and clubs are taking place in both Ao Nang and Krabi. PM me if you want details for Krabi and I will ask a friend whose son attends.

Hope this helps a bit.  

Does anyone have a link to the Channel 9 news report?

Thanks

Hi Scott,

My five year old son attends Chok Chai in Neua Klong. It isn't an international school, but they have very good English teachers.

In terms of facilities, after looking at all schools in the area, Chok Chai is by far the best.

We are happy with his progress and he absolutely loves school. He is assessed in every area at the end of each term and the  report cards cover everything aspect of his learning.

They have extra learning and activities after school such as dance, swimming, art etc.

We don't live in Neua Klong so he takes the minibus. It picks him up at our home and delivers him home again. That is an extra monthly fee.

I hope this helps, but any other questions feel free to PM me. One of my good friends is an English teacher at the school, so I can check anything you need to know. There used to be an open day every Thursday where parent's of prospective students take a tour and watch as the children are being taught.
