What are the challenges when living at Prem?

• It is 40 minute drive into town so having your own car or motor bike is advisable, although there are school vans and Grab taxis (rather like Uber), as well as local public transport .
• Living in the same cluster building as other teachers and living close to students, as with all boarding schools, together, we are a tight-knit community.
• Learning the language and communicating in Thai, which can be difficult but a lot of fun. People here really appreciate any attempt to speak Thai! Some of your non-Thai colleagues will be excellent role models and have excellent Thai.
• Apartments are basic with small kitchens and electric hotplates so you may need to be prepared to buy some extra appliances, but you will have views of trees and green from every window, and access to an amazing campus.
• At certain times of year air pollution caused by agricultural stubble burning can be unhealthy for sensitive people. The school is very aware of the AQI index during this time and has contingencies in place.
• Wine, champagne and imported luxury items are expensive, which is to be expected, and local produce is excellent and not expensive.
• Boarding and co-curricular programmes are a part of the learning community as with most boarding schools days are busy for all. We are fortunate to have amazing facilities and opportunities for these programmes.
• There is a no pet policy on campus.
