Last week’s Loi Krathong festivities provided some wonderful opportunities for our students to learn about and perform traditional Thai music.
Last week Year 4G and H, along with Ichiha and Olivia from 4J, performed the Loi Krathong song on a variety of traditional and not so traditional instruments. Year 4 have been learning all about Thai pentatonic music and this song is a great example of this. They did a wonderful job of performing their different parts, following a conductor and listening to each other as an ensemble. Well done Year 4.
You can enjoy a taster of their performance below.
The St Andrews International School Bangkok assembly got off to a truly traditional start with a performance by STA Thai Music Band. It was wonderful to hear one the newest musical ECAs perform in assembly for the first time and they sounded absolutely brilliant. Well done to those children and their teachers for all their hard work.

With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
Last Friday, the STA Primary campus was transformed into a celebration of all things maths! The day was packed with engaging, hands-on activities across all year groups, making maths truly come alive for our students.
