  Description

  Hello there! Welcome to the Phanpinit family. As a family, we are the proud owners of a private school, and we absolutely adore working with kids. In fact, we love it so much that we've even set up several play and karaoke rooms for our students and guests to enjoy!
  
  During the day, we spend our time working with teachers and managing the school to ensure that our students are receiving the best possible education. But we also know that it's important to have fun and create exciting activities for our students. That's why we would love for you to join our school family and help us come up with some amazing ideas for local kids.
  
  We have a great team of about 30 local staff members. They're awesome and help us run the school smoothly. We believe in taking care of our staff by providing fair compensation and professional development opportunities.
  
  In your free time, you can take a walk at the back of our school, where there's a large field surrounded by nature. Also, you can relax by the private swimming pool at the treehouse. The treehouse also boasts a karaoke room you can use. And if fishing is your thing, we have a large pond stocked for Thai-style fishing!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You'll have the amazing opportunity to learn about Thai culture directly from the locals and even get to learn some Thai words from the adorable kiddos here.
  
  We've got some exciting plans for you, including a visit to a local sheep and elephant village (not the touristy ones, mind you) where you'll get to experience the true essence of Thai culture. Also, Thai north eastern food is absolutely delicious, and we're sure you'll love it. Don't worry if you're not a fan of spicy food, we can tone down the heat for you.

  Help

  As a part of our school family, you'll have the chance to work with students of all ages in different classes to create fun English activities that will help them with their communication skills. We are looking for people who are fluent in English that can help our shy students open their mouths to speak English! We generally ask for a few hours of help a day, making some conversations with our students.
  
  We believe that learning should be a fun and engaging experience, so we're open to any and all ideas you have! Want to take the students out to the garden at the back of our school to learn about trees? Let's do it! Anything you can imagine, we're up for it! Our goal is to create a learning environment that is not only effective but also enjoyable.

  What else ...

  If you're feeling adventurous, you can explore some of the neighboring provinces, which are chock-full of interesting heritages and old buildings. But even if you decide to stay put in Buriram, there's no shortage of cool things to do. For instance, you can check out the Phanom Rung Historical Park, which is jam-packed with fascinating stories from days gone by, and Buriram football and racing stadiums! We'd be more than happy to give you a ride to the bus stop and pick you up when you're done exploring.
  
  During your downtime, we've also got plenty of other activities to keep you busy, like a refreshing swimming pool at a Tree-styled house at the back of our school or a rousing game of pool. You're going to have a blast here.
