1. A Small Boutique School

It is a personably sized university campus. It feels big and has plenty of space, but there’s a close knit community here too. It is a sophisticated, yet very fashionable university inspiring creative minds and peeking students’ interests.

2.Normal Classes From July & 11:1 Class Sizes

THAILAND LOOKS FORWARD TO JULY 1ST, 2020 AS THE LOCKDOWN’S END

The government plans to lift the lockdown on all businesses on July 1st, 2020 all across Thailand. Preparations will be made by next month in the wake of this event. This date also marks the end of the emergency decree, the curfew, and travel restrictions. The country will be reopened to international flights as well. However, some of the practices in place now are still expected to continue, such as the usage of face masks, social distancing, hand washing and limiting group activities. These are expected to continue to help fight the spread of the current disease. Another expectation is that customers and operators will be required to use the “Thai Chana” app for checking in and out of business premises. According to Dr. Prasit, he estimated it could take 2 years for Thailand to return to normal completely and he added that a vaccine will not likely come out until March 2021, and probably not earlier than that.
