My girlfriend had Dutch education there and it was really bad. The teacher Kees Smit is an alcoholic, who doesn’t speak English, nor does he speak Thai. Communication with this man is very difficult if you can’t speak Dutch.

 

The day is as follows. You teach yourself via a PC. You don’t get direct lessons from him. He enters the class room in the morning, switches on his PC, reads his mails. Then he goes out for a smoke and he starts with coffee and some alcohol in it. Not a proper way to start a day of teaching I would say. During the day he repeats the smoking. If you have a question he can’t explain it to you as he is so slow because of the alcohol and the fact that he can’t speak any other foreign languages.

 

Unfortunately this is not all. In the evening he continues drinking, even when you think it’s time to sleep. The atmosphere can be best described as trying to suck the highest amount of money from the Dutch husbands or boyfriends, who pay for the class. Some girl there even had sex with a brother of the wife of Kees. If these people would be really sincere, they would inform the poor Dutch guy involved. But of course, they didn’t do anything. They played the game together with the Thai girl there.

 

In the first couple of days the students received decent food. But soon after the beginning the quality of the food dropped dramatically. This is another example that this school is only interested in your money.

 

All in all, I advise you not to study at the Dutch Homeschool in Sakaew. You better spend your money on another school. The only thing they teach you there is how to pass the “inburgeringsexamen”. The way they do that is by letting the students learn 300 possible questions from the embassy by heart. You can save your money by ordering a CD from the Dutch embassy with the same questions. It’s I think around 5000 Baht.
