Hi! we are moving this May 2014 and before looking for a house or office we know that is important to start from schools, Bangkok is huge! and there is so many options in Google for schools that I opted to become part of expat forum, nothing better than your experience

.Currently we are in Singapore, kids are 5 and 7,they are in Australian school, fees are very expensive thinking that this time we do not want the best premium inter. schools in Bangkok, but still good one, with enough social or expats kids, nice facilities and IB if is possible.
Please, if you have any information or ideas let me know, there is so many options online that I don't know from where to start looking and if is good options or not..
where to live there? I have no clue but we are very open.. kind of condo/villa with facilities? expat community?
Thank you so much! and have a nice day!

My kids go to Ascot ascot.ac.th/, which is not in central Bangkok, but the fees are reasonable and negotiable. Would be happy to introduce you

Is this in order of merit? This means that ISB is the best school in bkk?

From schools 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, which would be the top 3 schools. Would like opinions :-)

Hi.
I see on their website 140.000 baht/TERM for 3 terms a year.
For my budget, it's not really "reasonable". Specially with 3 kids.

Do you know another school with a good education but cheaper than that one ?
I spent hours on websites of school.
They are all VERY expensive in Bangkok!

My daughter goes to Saint John's International school. No entrance fee and I think it's the cheapest one. It's a good school. Too few students though.
