"International day was wonderful. There was different type of food and different country. It's very unique how people dress and talk in the own languages"

"International day was really fun! Stuffing ourselves silly and playing cultural games sure is better than sitting in front of text books! We did a bit of work, though, like making a leaflet for a wonder of the world."

"Sincere thanks to everyone who put the massive 'package' of International Day together. One of the strengths of any international school is its cultural diversity and Patana celebrates it in style. International Day is certainly my favourite day of the year - and no that's not because I teach less!"

"All of this shows what a diverse community Bangkok Patana is. If I had a hat, I'd take it off to the inventor of International Day. Unfortunately, I think I lost my hat in the parade, which was extremely crowded/fun! I was just kidding about the hat stuff, but if I had a hat, I would have lost it at the parade ...

The food was excellent, and the expo was of equal quality! All in all, this International Day went down in BPS History! Just like all the other ones did."
