Tao Wexler @ United for the Future Concert

On the 25th of September, Tao in Year 8 performed a wonderful piece of music in front of a full crowd. It was a great sight to see Tao fully focused playing Albert Pieszonka’s most famous Tarantella on a Fazioli piano. The piano itself was described as a beautiful, crystal clear sounding piano with a huge price tag. Tao has won prizes at many international competitions and has been described as ‘playing at a mature level for one so young’. Tao said he was pleased with his performance despite being a little nervous and looks forward to playing many more concerts.

Together with being a great pianist Tao is also constantly involved in community service projects.

On October 22, Tao along with family went to Sanam Luang to pay respect for His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej. The family offered 500 kg of home grown Longan and volunteered for Red Cross and Thai Fight by giving away medicines, sticky rice and chicken, ice cream, and drinks.

Regent’s Rising Economists!

On the 16th of June, six Year 12 students embarked on an Economics trip to Shrewsbury and the Bank of Thailand, as a part of an economics essay competition. The competition, involved essay writing on the topics of sustainability and free trade, after which two exceptional students, Utsav and Veli’s essay were shortlisted to be represented in the event. The occasion was attended by top international schools in Thailand, and we are very proud to say that both of our shortlisted delegates were runner ups, and were awarded by Prof. Thitinan Pongsudhirak of Chulalongkorn University. Following the presentations, the students headed of to Chatrium for an appetizing meal with a fantastic view of the whole city! The day then continued with our visit to the Bank of Thailand, where the student got the opportunity to listed to a discussion of 3 officials, who interacted with students and talked about the initial phases of their career and also the economic history of Thailand.

It was in fact a privilege for all students to have such a learning trip! We are sure our students would move on to be important figures in the economic world!

Primary FOBISIA Maths Results

We now have the results for the FOBISIA Maths competition that Sun, Jojo, Data and Tara in Year 6 attended earlier this month.


The Regent’s team came in 15th place out of 29 schools from across South East Asia.
We are very proud of the hard work our students put in to preparing for the competition and for their efforts in the competition itself. It is a very challenging competition with the best mathematicians from each school competing. Our team worked incredibly well together and their excellent team work as well as their outstanding Maths abilities led to a successful result. Mr. Jarrett, our team coach, is already looking to our talented mathematicians in Years 5 and 4 to make a team to compete next year.
Well done team Regent’s!

Year 10 Student Wins International Golf Tournament

Jenny Ham in Year 10 is a talented and rising young sports person within the field of Golf. Her strict training regime and diligent attitude has helped her achieve a near scratch handicap ranking; something that takes a competent golfer many years to accomplish.

Jenny Ham Winner

Jenny’s interest in Golf has been known to The Regent’s International School, Bangkok and they have worked in unison with Jenny to aid her development.

Jenny has been successful across many localised Thai Golf championships but has recently made a daring step towards fulfilling her dream of playing professional Golf by winning the “World Stars of Junior Golf Masters” which took place at Badlands Golf Club, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Jenny shot a combined 3 day score of 5 under par in testing conditions. Her focus and attention to detail during the competition is testament to the numerous hours of dedicated practice that she fits in around a full academic schedule at Regent’s.

We wish Jenny more success as she perseveres to become a truly well rounded leader of the future!

The “World Stars of Junior Golf” Tournament was an invitational event in which I had to pass a 4 day stroke play qualifying game at The Pines Golf and Lodge Club to play in. My success of achieving first place with a score of 2 under par secured my chance to play.

Playing at the “World Stars of Junior Golf Masters” which took place at Badlands, Las Vegas on the 22nd-24th July 2015 was not an easy task; as you can tell by the name of course it was really challenging. The desert wind, the steaming hot weather which rarely dipped below 40 degrees and the high standard of mutual competitors meant I needed to be at the top of my game across all 3 days of competition.  

It was my first time participating at this tournament and I really enjoyed the challenge it posed to me. During the first day, I shot a score of 2 under par (which help me secure a lead of two strokes). Day 2 proved more challenging mainly due to poor weather conditions. I ended the day with a score of 2 over par, which left me on an even total overall. I was mindful that I was still ahead of the field by one single shot. The third and final day of the tournament saw me stretch my lead farther and beyond the rest of my competitors as I shot a 5 under par. My reward was being crowned champion of Class B (Yr 13-14) division.
Travelling halfway across the globe and representing my Country and the Regent’s International School, Bangkok was a truly inspirational experience. I tried my very best to represent both with hard work and determination. I had a really enjoyable time; I thrived playing in conditions that I had not previously experienced and I learnt a lot from other players which will without doubt help me on improving my game for the future endeavors.
