Possibility of bringing my child in Thailand

Post new topic

pratima2005

Hi,
I am Pratima from Kathmandu Nepal, I'll be moving to Thailand in April 19 leaving behind my 8 year old daughter and husband. Since I love the country so much, I thought of relocating to this beautiful country. I'll be doing TESOL for a month and then will be working in a school after the completion of the course. Can anyone please suggest me how do I bring my child to Thailand while I am working there? and are there any possibilities to study in a primary school for my child, who's curriculum are totally different than in Thailand? albeit she studies in an english medium school in Nepal.
Grateful if you could please provide me with appropriate suggestions.
Cheers

Unless the school you will be working for gives free schooling for your child you will find it very expensive to pay out of pocket for any international school.
