Moving to Bangkok with 2 kids...(37 Posts)
DH has been offered a job in Bangkok...we have 2 DDs (2 & 4) and I wanted to find out if anyone had recommendations on international schools/ places to live (his office is in the centre of the business area).
Feel a bit overwhelmed so any advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you
ooops - read the year wrong !
imagine you're already there and have made your choice by now LOL!!
Hi ann,
I have heard that of the two St Andrews schools in Bangkok, the one on soi 71 is the best (owned by Nord Anglia Education) and not 107. This has been pretty consistent feedback from all the people I have spoken to about schools in the city.
It may all be hearsay and incorrect, but I think if you have a chance to investigate other options.
Also consider if you want IGCSE/A levels or IB style curriculum. or something else entirely... if your 13 y.o is going into Year 10 and starting GCSEs, does the school have the Y12/13 programme you prefer?
Happy school hunting. We are moving to BKK in July/early August too!
Hi everyone,
I have been reading all your conversation and advises on schools. We are moving in July to BKK with 2 daughters, 9 and 13. I was looking at the schools you have mention but for the location we are considering St Andrews International School, Sukhumvit 107. Does anyone have any good advise as a parent from there? Many thanks, Ana
As mentioned Bambi is definitely worth talking to before coming out. For a really quality school at a lower price take a look at British Early Years Centre. The owners are qualified teachers and they are really up to date with current trends. The school offers a 100% organic menu and uses allergen free cleaning products. www.beyc.co.th/fr/organic.html
Hi, we are moving to Bangkok in feb 2014 and we like the look of Thonglor - Ekkamai. We have 2 kids under 3. Can anyone recommend a great complex for us to live with other expat families? Thanks
Also, I would recommend getting hold of the Bangkok Guide, produced by the ANZ Women's group - it has tons of information, very detailed and helpful and a huge section on settling in. It has just been republished so the info is very up to date
Hi larose
We have been here 6 months and are settling in well. Our girls are happy here, but as ripsishere said, we don't often go to parks unless it's early morning...although having said that, it's quite a lot cooler here at the moment. We have a pool so the girls swim lots, and my older girl does a few after school activities - so usually by the time school has finished and we are home they just need some down time. We have decided to join the British Club as somewhere else to go at the weekend - fab pool, baby pool, playground and cafe. It's not cheap to join but we have been there a few times already with friends and spent the whole day there so it should be a good option for weekends/ school hols.
I take my youngest to a playgroup once a week and we also do swimming lessons...so there is a fair bit to do, and I have found people to be, in the main, extremely welcoming and it has been pretty easy to make friends.
Also, having help at home is a huge benefit - it means family time is spent doing fun things rather than chores
Feel free to PM me
There are parks, but TBH, unless you are there super early or relatively late in the afternoon they are too hot. OTOH, my DD never seemed fussed by the heat.
She spent more time at the Children's museum at Chatuchak than anywhere else. She also went to Bambi playgroups and started school ASAP. More for the socializing than anything else since she is an only child.
I envy you.
Btw - if any one could share what they do with their kids day today that would be great - just wondering if there are green open play areas, toddler groups, activities for kids. Is it too hot to be outside with them loads etc? I'm finding it really hard to think how life will be as only ever visited BBK prior to have kids! Thanks xx
Hi Annabellesmum!
I know u posted a while a go but I am really intrigued to know how things worked out for u and ur family in Bangkok. DH just been offered job there and we also have two little ones (18 months and 4). Just be great to hear ur experience of settling in with kids etc so far. Xx
Thanks for the information, it has really helped, I am starting to get excited now, but I may have a
Few more practical questions at a later date if you don't mind lovely ladies
Happy see you re-assured. Bangkok is a very friendly place.
Am also one who feels much safer walking the streets of Bangkok than those of many European capitals. No hordes of moody hooded teenage yobs and a funily very relaxed pace in such a busy urban environment.
cant offer advice on schools, i guess it depends a bit on where you want to live.
I stayed with a friend in December and really liked the condos in the back streets of the Sathorn area.
Ekkamai is turning into a trendy euro enclave and also feels very relaxed considering its so central.
We lived in Bangkok for four years. I felt safer there than I did in either Switzerland or Belgium.
We did have a car and it was useful to get around, although the traffic is so horrendous sometimes it seems unecessary.
If you are at BPS, the skytrain goes right out to the end of Soi Bearing which is the road that runs parallel to Soi Lasalle.
DD had all her vax and medical treatment at BNH or Samitivej.
She had her rabies vaccinations before we got there at the London hospital for tropical diseases. They were painless.
Stop panicking!
Thanks again that is reassuring, really am very grateful for your comments.
And definitely contact Bambi, very helpful at showing new expats around:
I wouldn't worry too much if you are coming as teachers, though. Teachers are the largest expat profession in Bangkok and British ones are very common. You certainly won't be a target, and unless Patana have suddenly got very generous, you won't be living a lifestyle that warrants much attention. You are likely to be comfortable and not have much to worry about financially, but nothing that will make anyone stalk you or anything! So no need to worry about that. And you will be living in a sociable community with plenty of opportunity to make helpful and gregarious friends. Good luck!
If your husband is working at Patana, you will probably be living in Bang Na or nearby. I would say a car is a must. You can rent rather than buy from Budget, which may be easier. It's expat central round there, no shortage of Brits!
Do feel free to PM, happy to show you the ropes a bit when you get here.
Thanks for your information that really helps, school would be bps where dh would be working and we d be put up in a complex / flat near by. I guess I am simply scared of the unknown.
Can I barge in here and ask if anyone knows where the UK diplomatic staff in Bangkok send their children to school? As this would be sensitive information, if anyone knows, could they send me a pm please?
Btw, there are 1000s of British expats living in Bangkok, its really not unusual. You will find it harder to make Thai friends than you will to make British ones.
Stop worrying!
Malaria is non-existent in Bangkok. Dengue is easily prevented with a once a day application (daytime) of insect repellent. Rabies, well, just teach your kids not to approach stray dogs. Same as in any country. I've never heard of anyone here getting rabies. If you do get bitten, straight to the hospital for a wound clean out and a rabies shot. Hospitals are like 5 star hotels.
Bangkok is incredibly safe. I feel much safer here than in London as far as robbery, theft, burglary goes. I have never heard of an expat home being broken into, especially if you live in a condo. I've never known anyone be mugged, a couple of handbag thefts in bars, but that's it.
Btw, it might be poor in general, but there are a lot of very rich Thais living in Bangkok, especially in areas such as Sukhumvit and Sathorn, as well as Bang Na and Nichada. Lamborghinis and Porsches are not that rare, Mercedes and BMWs are ubiquitous. The malls are full of people buying Chanel, Hermes and Prada. It's not exactly living somewhere like Darfur. Trust me, you won't be a target. Not unless you are richer than Madonna.
Just live your life with the same safety precautions that you would in the uk and you will be fine.
I hate gated complexes and the burbs, don't see the point of them and find them extremely dull and isolating, but each to their own. If you do live outside the city centre, a car is a must. Otherwise, you will have to risk taxis, and they might be cheap, but they don't have car seats (they don't in the uk either, for the most part). Bring your own car seat if you can, they are expensive here in comparison.
It's not exactly a hardship posting - many expats here have no intention of ever returning home. You just have to be open minded to different food, cultural norms, etc.
Do you have somewhere to live sorted? Schools? Happy to help with advice, feel free to PM me.
Hi my husband had accepted a job in Bangkok in 3 months time.
I am starting to worry so much I m almost ready to pull to plug.
I see you live in Bangkok, this is unusual but it's there any chance I could
Get a real understanding from yourself another British mum to help me with this. My main concern are; dengue fever, malaria and rabies any experience or feedback.
I am also worried re safety, it's obviously a poor country and we could be potential targets for theft, living in a guarded complex how real is a robbery threat and how do you feel walking about with little ones , safe?
Finally, transport, I ve read its an issue, do most expats but cars for the suburbs and getting out of Bangkok? What about travel into town , we d be near bps, do expats get in taxis without seat belts and child seats? I m worried that I would be able to get about.
My worries may sound silly in my 20,s it would nt have been a problem but with two little ones I do worry. I d really appreciate any help
Yes, and plain cotton knickers. It's fine if you want nylon lace in a size to fit a twelve year old, sensible knickers? no chance.
Same with shoes, up to a size 4ish you'd be fine, any bigger and you face having them made or buying mens.
I remember that buying bras was a nightmare so I'd bring some.
Thank you ripsishere!
Marmite, you could (can) buy it in Villa but it is ludicrously expensive. Also, if you bleed heavily super plus tampons. I never managed to find any above super.
Shoes for my DD were a problem, she has ridiculously skinny feet. Also, if you are a larger lady t.shirts. You can have skirts and dresses made at the tailor for pennies, the tops are more problematic.

Minne Wanka and the Glow Factory
In March 2015 I visited Iceland and was treated to several nights of absolutely stunning aurora. Living in California means that I'm too far south to ever see the sky turn green and dance, but I had high hopes that we might see a bit of the northern lights while spending 6 days at Banff National Park.
On our first night in Banff there was a possibility that the northern lights would come out. Willie and I dashed off to Lake Minnewanka, which had a clear view of the northern sky, and waited. Only an extremely small patch of sky managed to glow green and that was the last of the aurora that we saw during the whole trip.
While waiting for the aurora I happened to turn around with my camera and point it back towards Mt. Inglismaldie. My guess is that light pollution all the way from Calgary was enough to cause these clouds to glow orange (the town of Banff is further southwest, or to the right). I loved looking back at this mountain range and seeing the clouds glowing, while the snowy river bank framed the photo.

text: ExOne Another stock that's trending within range of triggering a major breakout trade is ExOne ( XONE), which develops, manufactures and markets printing machines that produce 3D printed parts and related consumables. This stock is off to a hot start in 2013, with shares up 19%. If you take a look at the chart for ExOne, you'll see that this stock has been uptrending extremely strong for the last month and change, with shares soaring higher from its low of $24.13 to its intraday high of $32.30 a share. During that uptrend, shares of XONE have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of XONE within range of triggering a major breakout trade. Market players should now look for long-biased trades in XONE if it manages to break out above its all-time high of $33.60 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above $33.60 a share with volume that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 917,637 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then XONE will set up to enter new all-time high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that move are $40 to $45 a share. Traders can look to buy XONE off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support areas at $30 to $29.23 a share. One could also buy off strength once XONE clears $33.60 a share with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a few percentage points below your entry point. This stock has explosive breakout potential since the short-sellers are leaning all over it. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for XONE is very high at 19.6%. That high short interest could fuel a big move, so make sure to put XONE on your breakout trading radar. Prev 2 of 6 Next

Product Description
Product Description
There are those who may regard it as old wine in a new bottle, but that doesn't mean that Stargate Atlantis doesn't have something to offer to both newcomers and fans of Stargate SG-1, the franchise from which it evolved. Co-creators and executive producers Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, both of whom worked on the earlier show, have concocted an appealing premise for this spin-off, in which the so-called Ancients abandoned Earth millions of years earlier, taking their city (i.e., Atlantis) with them. Now, a new team has gained access (via the Stargate, the "wormhole" our heroes use to travel to different worlds) to the legendary sunken city, where new adventures and deadly new enemies await. Stargate SG-1 stars Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks make appearances in this series premiere, but the focus is on the new characters. Of these, Joe Flanigan excels as the insouciant Major John Sheppard, an Air Force pilot unexpectedly recruited for the new mission because of his preternatural ability to interface with the Ancients' wondrous technology. The new leader is Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson), a role that is neither especially well-written nor well-played. The new monster-villains, replacing the trusty old Goa'uld, are the Wraith, whose name is actually cooler than they are; they may eat humans, in addition to being all-powerful (natch), but they tend to come off like refugees from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Overall, the production values and special effects remain top-notch, especially for television, and the story itself is OK. But while Stargate Atlantis is certainly promising, it has a ways to go to equal its predecessor, which remains one of the best-made, most compelling sci-fi programs on television. --Sam Graham

The unusual storyline and cast is excellent! Whether you like sci-fi or not, this is fun to watch since it touches a lot of issues such as dealing with different kinds of nations and their beliefs, friendships, enemies, adventures and even comedy. This show is awsome on many different levels.
It also turned into fertile fodder for a spinoff series (come on, you KNEW they had to make one eventually). While the first two-parter is a bit awkward in places, it's a solid enough action-thriller that introduces some likable new heroes, a legendary city, and a new race of alien parasites.
At the Antarctic base, Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) has finally figured out the location of Atlantis -- in the Pegasus galaxy.
General Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) gives the go-ahead for an exploratory unit to go to Atlantis -- even though they don't have the power to return back to the Milky Way, and will be stranded there. So Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) leads an international group of scientists and military to another galaxy, and arrive in the sunken Ancient city of Atlantis.
Unfortunately, after ten millennia Atlantis is running out of power, and soon the whole place will flood. So the military unit, including Major John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), goes scouting in unknown territory through the Stargate. Meanwhile, the irritable scientist Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) tries to somehow salvage the city -- with surprising results.
While the people on the planet of Athos (where's Portos and Aramis?) turn out to be peaceful, they soon face an ancient enemy -- the parasitic, vampiric Wraith, who destroyed the Ancients long ago. When several Athosians and U.S. officers are kidnapped, Sheppard must lead a small team deep into one of the Wraith ships -- with devastating consequences.
"Stargate: Atlantis" has an easier introduction than most series, even spinoffs.Read more ›

Attractive Midgrade 1792 Half Disme, Judd-7, VF25
1792 H10C Half Disme, Judd-7, Pollock-7, R.4, VF25 PCGS.
There has been so much written about these coins, incorporating
fact and fiction, that it is difficult to know just what to
believe. It is time for this cataloger (MRB) to add my own five
cents' worth.
Remarkable Opportunity To Acquire This Historic Coin
We actually know little about these coins. The information that we can actually accept as fact is limited to the following: they were produced before November 6, 1792; they were not struck within the physical structure of the Mint building, which was still under construction; most survivors are in low grade or are damaged, with few higher grade examples known. George Washington discussed the coins in his "State of the Union" address of November 6, 1792, thus showing that they were struck prior to that date. They were not produced at the Mint building, but they were almost certainly produced within the city of Philadelphia at another location where coining equipment existed. As most survivors are in low grade or are damaged, or both, we can assume that the half dismes actually circulated at the time of issue. Had they been intended as pattern coins, most survivors would probably be in much higher grade. The majority of survivors from the other 1792 coinage issues are in relatively high grade, suggesting that they had been preserved as keepsakes. The wording of Washington's November address, "There has been a small beginning in the coinage of half dimes, the want of small coins in circulation calling the first attention to them," along with the physical evidence of low-grade survivors, provides considerable evidence that the coins were, in fact, intended for circulation.
Everything else "known" about these coins is speculation at best, or pure fiction at worst. Such speculation includes the following statements: the coins were struck in John Harper's cellar; the mintage was between 1,500 and 2,000 coins; Martha Washington's likeness appears on the obverse; George and Martha Washington provided their personal silverware or dinnerware as a source of silver. The coins may have been struck in John Harper's cellar. On April 9, 1844, Dr. Jonas McClintock reported on a conversation he had with Adam Eckfeldt: "In a conversation with Mr. Adam Eckfeldt today at the mint, he informed me that the half dismes were struck at the request of General Washington to the extent of One Hundred Dollars which sum he deposited in Bullion or Specie for the purpose - Mr. E thinks that Gen. W. distributed them as presents - some were sent to Europe but the greater number of them he believes, were given to acquaintances in Virginia - no more of them coined except those of Gen. W. - they were never designed as currency. The Mint was not at the time fully ready for going into operation - the coining machinery was in the cellar of Mr. Harper's saw maker at the corner of Cherry and 6th Streets, at which these pieces were struck." Some consider this statement to be the documentary evidence needed to substantiate the "facts" about these coins, but they were based on the memory of 75-year-old Adam Eckfeldt about events that had occurred more than a half-century earlier. While Eckfeldt recalled that all of the coins were struck for George Washington, totaling 2,000 coins, a July 13, 1792 entry in the account book of Thomas Jefferson states that he received 1,500 of the coins. These two reports seem to conflict and are the basis for mintage figures of 1,500 to 2,000 coins. But which is correct? Or are they both correct and there were actually 3,500 pieces struck?
The present example specimen is quite attractive, with sea-green and iridescent toning in the obverse fields and grayish-orange on the devices. The obverse fields and devices have numerous tiny scratches and abrasions, yet the natural coloration so effectively masks them that they can hardly be seen. The reverse fields are grayish-gold with iridescent toning, and numerous tiny imperfections underneath. This 1792 half disme provides a remarkable opportunity for the advanced numismatist--or the collector who just want to own one. Come take a look and place a bid.(Registry values: P9) (NGC ID# 946T, PCGS# 11020)

Incentive-based Lending Capacity, Competition and Regulation in Banking
This paper studies moral hazard in banking due to delegated monitoring in an environment of aggregate risk and examines its implications for credit market equilibrium and regulation, in a model where banks are price competitors for loans and deposits. It provides a rationale for an incentive-based lending capacity positively linked to the bank's capital and profit margin, for an oligopolistic market structure wherever banks have market power, and for capital requirements. Social-welfare-maximizing capital requirements are lowered in recessions, are higher the more fragmented the banking sector, and are increased when anti-competitive measures are removed. In equilibrium banks earn excessive profits and credit may be rationed.

research overview
Coppélia Kahn was among the first to introduce the question of gender into Shakespeare studies, in her book Man's Estate: Masculine Identity in Shakespeare (1981) and many articles. She also wrote Roman Shakespeare: Warriors, Wounds, and Women (1997), and co-edited Making A Difference: Feminist Literary Criticism (1985), which was translated into Japanese and Chinese. Her current research concerns race and national identity in 20th c. English and American constructions of Shakespeare.

hello, metrofreshuals!
I was honored to speak to a lovely group of seniors yesterday at Lifespan in Buckhead. I talked about my career, my transition into the kitchen, creating MetroFresh and my book. I think this nice group of ladies (and one man) enjoyed the hour presentation. At least they listen intently and didn't throw any rotten tomatoes at me. I'd love to come speak to your garden club, book club, dinner club, or drinking club (especially your drinking club.) If you have a group that is looking for an evening program let me know.
The neat thing was being able to honor my father. His presence, even though he's now gone from us, is great. He's all over my book, all over my restaurant, and certainly all over my life. I feel so fortunate that I had a great relationship with a great man, who gave me the courage to take chances, taught me how to treat people with kindness and respect, and the value of living a good life. It's easy to not "miss" him when I feel him every day, especially when I'm able to tell his story through my life. That's an honor and I cherish it.
I don't know what's happened to my brain today. For some reason, every time I go to the the back of the kitchen, to the back refrigerator, I go with intention, knowing what I'm seeking, but then as soon as I get there, I completely forget why I went and what I need. It takes me a moment, and then it comes to me, but really, where is my head? Maybe I stayed up past my bedtime last night. Who knows?
Anyway, come see us today and have a great one!

Transforming California State Parks
Message from Lisa Mangat, Director
We are in an exciting time of opportunity and challenge that can result in positive and sustainable change for our Department. Through this process we will achieve the vision outlined in the draft Transformation Action Plan. Through the collective efforts and continued dedication of our staff, partners, and stakeholders, the system will become stronger. We will be positioned to be most effective in protecting California's most valuable and cherished resources, providing the best services and experiences that Californians should expect from their State Parks, and becoming more nimble in the future. Together we have an opportunity to achieve excellence as we transform California's treasured park system into the world class model for State Parks; I invite you to join me in this pursuit.
Message from Steve Szalay, Team Leader
Our 150 year old California Department of Parks and Recreation is entering a very challenging and exciting two year Transformation Period. While desiring to retain the grandeur, beauty, and history of the parks, there is now a critical need for positive changes to our organization that will greatly improve our ability to provide excellent services in a cost-effective, creative and accountable environment.
Using the Parks Forward Commission's report as a beginning, a Transformation Team has been established. This team is comprised of qualified, experienced and dedicated personnel from State Parks staff, outside entities and professional consultants. The Transformation Team, along with input from staff, stakeholders, and partners, will be working through a number of initiatives that will lead to positive change. This process will be fluid and constantly evolving. Check back regularly as we'll keep you updated on the team's progress.
Transformation Team Initiatives and Committees
The Administration assembled a Transformation Team (Team) in the fall of 2014 with the appointment of the Transformation Team leader, Steve Szalay. The Team, comprised of qualified experienced and dedicated personnel from State Parks staff, outside entities and professional consultants, developed a tactical Transformation Action Plan. The plan set forth four strategic goals for the state parks system:
1. Protect and Enhance Natural and Cultural Resources
2. Develop Excellent Management Systems
3. Maintain High Quality Operations and Public Service
4. Create Meaningful Connections and Relevancy to People
Employees, partners, volunteers, engaged communities and Team members together are bringing about transformation. Below you will find some of these accomplishments. We invite you to read the documents, share your feedback with us and keep visiting this website. You can also stay up-to-date on this important effort by following us on "Transformation Tuesdays" on Facebook and Twitter, or by reading our blog.
This is an exciting time for California State Parks and we invite you to be part it.

Good location, large appartments, great value for money
Not so clean
Good location, free WiFi
Very poor, need renovation, at the kithen there is no microwave. Very very dirty - in the bathroom was a lot of somebodies hair. Cockroches in the rooms.
Very helpful staff at reception. Good cable TV selection. Wi-fi connected in room, but better in lobby or on balcony. Close to airport with good bus connection. Nice Pool. Good Value overall.
Very basic breakfast with boiled eggs, toast, juice and coffee/tea. About 20-30 minute walk to town where there are the most shops, restaurants, bars.
Good value for the price.
For a single occupant the size of the room was fantastic! I also loved watching the setting sun reflecting on the mountains on the evnings and the early morning view of the sea. Lovely!
Early morning (about 5 a.m. or so) the nearby church bells were quite loud and woke me up (to see the sun rising!) almost every morning. Then again it was good to be up early, ready for another day of exploring the beautiful surroundings of Polis.
We were fascinated of how good the room was. I might say that it was better that other 4 star hotels we visited previously. I think it suits families with 1-2 children for short or long stay. There is sea and mountains in same place and we will definetelly come back there.
comfortable rooms and excellent value for money
The bathroom could have been a little cleaner and plugs for the sink & bath
Friendly owner
Your web site says wi-fi all over hotel, actually only in one small area
My workshop was in the same hotel
Close proximity to the beach, the beachside catering and the friendly and attentive staff
Key cards not working properly
the pool on the roof
No internet access. You have to pay extra in order to get it in your room. The Hotel is far from 4 star rating. It's equivalent to 2 star hotel. Decor is outdated.
The only thing I liked was the location. Other than that there was not much to like.
I had to pay extra for the AC...the electricity only worked witht the key in. Beds were horrendous!!
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an

Reviewed By Chuck C (PARKER, AZ) Reviewed for a 1998 Ford Expedition —3/15/2015 1:53 PM
I was hoping the mat would have fit a little better on the sides, I have about a half inch gap along each fide.
Reviewed By Charles W (Orange Park, FL) Reviewed for a 2012 Ford Expedition —3/21/2016 4:27 PM
First, the only reason I gave four stars for appearance was because these mats do not have edges or boarders. The rest was five stars. I covered all three rows , and a large mat for the cargo. EVERYTHING FIT !! I live in FL and these will be perfect for sand, rain and leaves. I do not think that these are the mats for a place where you need protection from daily mud and / or snow. For the price , this was a great deal and fits my needs well. Aired out for 3 days in a spare room,no lingering odor
