Bangkok Podcast 19: Thai Education System

It's no secret that the Thai education system is in need of an
overhaul. Everyone from government ministers to concerned parents
regularly voice their opinions in the press, and there is a real
concern that the Thailand's education system is being passed by
its regional neighbours.


One way a concerned parent can ensure your child has an
international-level education in Thailand is to enroll them in an
international school. However, many parents find that the cost of
tuition is often outrageously high - many thousands of dollars
per child per year, or more. So what are the options? Is there
any way around this? And what does it mean for a parent living
here who may not have the necessary resources?


Greg also talks about his recent trip to Europe and a big
development for him there, which leads to a discussion about
European history vs Thai history, the nuances of driving in
Europe, and the trust you must have in your GPS system while
navigating unfamiliar roads.


We also thank loyal listener Jamie Milkovich for his awesome
addition to our Facebook page, and we tease a few details of some
pretty cool shows we have coming up in October.
