It is so nice that your kids have the basics. I'm not a Thailander but I want to give emphasis that your kids need the foundations in that, they have to know the rules and regulations, learning to have patience, how to shine or clean their shoes, have tidy clothes. My hair was like that also when I was in my grade school with a ribbon in it. They have to learn to obey also the rules and regulations, know the GRMC(Good Manners and Right Conduct), giving respect to parents, elder parents. I have met many Thailanders and they are happy, friendly respectful people. Thailand is a free country and not at war, also they are self reliant.

Thirty years ago I started standing next to the flag pole at school. I learned the Thai National Anthem in about 6 weeks. I still remember it better than my own nation. One time, my colleague was coming back into Thailand from abroad. He was from the Philippines. Immigration questioned him. He told him he was a music teacher and they doubted him. He started singing the Thai Anthem at immigration and they soon changed their tune. He had a voice.

Enrolled her in a local Chinese school, yet her dad and I are not Chinese. Years passed and after her education - she speaks, read and write Chinese. Though she is no longer living in a Chinese country, she is comfortable making use of what she learned whenever she is around Chinese people and in Chinatowns, any country she goes. Yes, it is a privilege speaking, writing and reading another foreign language and learning about their culture too. Enjoy your parenthood!

My niece and nephew, from a pure Thai family, started out in a very old traditional Thai kindergarden, where they stress various facts and practices of a normal good Buddhist and Buddhism as a religion. They learn to meditate, be humble, share and give. Then when it is time for their secondary high school, grade 5, their parents switched to a regular Thai one, Satit Prasarnmitr, where more academic essences are stressed. Now they are in their teen years and have been going to an international school. I do not know whether this is the right formula but I sincerely hope that they will become good and competent citizens of the world. Mind you, they are more fluent in Thai than English as both of their parents are nativebThais.
it's definitely difficult to be in a place where you can't speak their language. But I know they're going to adjust easily as long as people help them ❤️
