International schools in Vientiane.? by antpb
Hi. Does anyone have any recent experience with the international schools kis, vis or ais? Recommendations for a 7 year old from UK? Also any advice for piano or violin lessons? Thanks
What I wrote was "They do not offer AS levels." That is correct, they don't. They MAY in the future, but that is another story. Read More

Without being rude, I suggest you check your facts on this. (hint - how many students are enrolled for the AS levels in the June exams?) Read More

Hi, not sure what you mean by "is this how it works". AIS was given permission to use the curriculum used in NSW. Having said this, this is a somewhat meaningless statement as Australian curricula have been updated and changed. Using a ... Read More

Getting married to a local oversea's by paulyp
Hi all, has anyone been married oversea's (in my case Australia) and got the marriage recognized in Laos also? What is involved, can I do it via the Laos embassy in Australia? I'm trying to avoid the usual scam of extortion & waiting, ...
This is possible, my husband and I got married in Australia. My husband had some problems when the SEA Games were held here and checks were done in the villages. We ended up having to get a lawyer to get the marriage certificate authorised here in ... Read More
Driver's License in Laos by vacreative
I have a German license and want to know if i can use this in Laos. I also have a translation of the license done by the German embassy here in Singapore. Any advice would be great!

"somsavath, this blog is an assessment tool for you?" I did not say that it was at any stage. However at one stage you intimated that you could teach English. I don't think you could. Maths may well be a different proposition. Read More

I really don't mean to be rude, but your level of English expression is not as good as many of the students at these schools; just look at the mistakes in your previous post and I assume you are a native speaker. You might find some difficulty ... Read More

My kids go to KIS and I am pleased with the standard of tuition. It is equivalent to what you would get in a good western school. Yours is a confused post. Are you commenting on the quality of the education or all school curricula in general? If ... Read More
