I’ve looked at the healthy wealthy thing and that looks OK. Do they do a family package?

last updated 24th November 2009

Is there any difference between the levels, other than the daily room rate? Would my baby’s vaccinations be covered?

THI offers a 10% family discount. Yes, there is very definitely a big difference in overall coverage with every increase of the Daily Room and Board Rate chosen. For example, WH2000 provides 500,000 baht of total protection; WH3000 provides 800,000 baht of protection; WH4000 provides 1,000,000 of protection and WH6000 provides 1,500,000 of protection. One of the features I like about the WH plans is that, while they provide basic Inpatient coverage like most hospital insurance plans, they also include Major Medical coverage to give you greater high-end protection. No, your baby’s routine vaccinations would not be covered.

The inpatient care and the emergency accident care provided by Sukumvit Hospital should be quite adequate for most of your child’s anticipated needs. Check with the hospital to find out how much inpatient hospital care should cost for her.

Fear of change?

In Thailand the government has set 2012 as English Speaking Year with a goal of encouraging students to converse in English every Monday. Such policies are useful but the major leap of enacting legislation to make English an official language for Thailand is also needed

Software for student tests

The integration of internet and computers with education and English learning is something students find normal, and classrooms without some access to educational software may seem quaint. Some students may even feel they can get more ‘professional' teaching from the numerous online ELT sites if a school is behind in IT.

Whatever happened to the shopping mall teacher?

They are the shopping mall English teachers - gliding like pale, undernourished phantoms amid the hordes of weekend Thai shoppers. The main reason I empathize with the shopping mall teacher is because I was once one myself. I know how desperate and soul-destroying it can be.

About Ajarn.com

Ajarn.com was started as a small hobby website in 1999 by Ian McNamara. It was a simple way for one Bangkok teacher to share his Thailand experiences and pass on advice. The website developed a loyal and enthusiastic following. In 2004, Ian handed over the reins to Phil Williams and 'Bangkok Phil' has run the ajarn website ever since.

Ajarn.com has grown enormously and is now the most popular TEFL site in Thailand - possibly even South East Asia. Although best-known for its vibrant jobs page, Ajarn has a wealth of articles, blogs, features and help and advice. But one principle has always remained at Ajarn's core - to tell things like they are and to do it with a sense of humor. Thailand can be Heaven or Hell for an English teacher. It's always been Ajarn.com's duty to present both sides of the equation. Thanks for stopping by.
