Well today I got to meet my school coordinator, Mr. Supannachaht or just Chaht. He said that the Sanguan Ying School I'm placed in has an English program building that I'm gonna be teaching in. Apparently the students must pass a test to be admitted into this program and their parents pay 17,500 baht (when the regular school is 2,000 baht). The program size is about 180 students and class sizes range from 17-22! Each student has a laptop and the students learn most subjects all in english. We have a pretty strict curriculum to follow but all amenities available to us which is awesome. He also said in November our school will be getting 9 exchange students from Wisconsin. We also have teachers around my age from Tasmania and Finland who will be living close to me.
I was also able to get the lo-down on the living situation. Our house will have internet! We have a kitchen, each our own room and bathroom, living room with TV and washer. He told us that there is an aquarium and lots of museums near us. Even though Suphanburi is not a touristy place there are some things for locals to do. He also said that the markets we have are traditional old school Thai markets, which I cannot wait to see.
Oh and side note, all mail to me should be sent to my school, here's the address:
Sanguan Ying School (English Program) ..(<- be sure to put EP or English Program next to it)
134 Prachatippatai Road
Amphur Muang, Suphanburi 72000
Thailand
**I also get to go on school trips to Chang Mai and the far south!
