Finnish Schools: Finnish School of Bangkok
Figure 1.-- This photo shows the pupils and teachers of the Finnish school of Bangkok (Thailand) on December 12, 2006. There seems to be a lot of teachers for such a small group of parents. The school started in January 1971 in the town of Phitsanulokin (central Thailand). Ten years later it moved to the capital, Bangkok. Many of the children may come from families connected with the Finnish Embassy. Since 1989 it have the status of official foreign school by the Finnish Government. �
This photo shows the pupils and teachers of the Finnish school of Bangkok (Thailand) on December 12, 2006. There seems to be a lot of teachers for such a small group of parents. The school started in January 1971 in the town of Phitsanulokin (central Thailand). I am not sure why the school was founded there. I suspect that a Finnish company or missionaries may have been working there. Ten years later it moved to the capital, Bangkok. Many of the children may come from families connected with the Finnish Embassy. Since 1989 it have the status of official foreign school by the Finnish Government. The children are taught in Finnish. Presumably the Thai-looking boy is the child of a mixed Finnish-Thai family. Notice the children are barefoot. We suspect that Thai children from affluent families would not go to school barefoot, but the small size of the school may be a factor.
