Prior to the arrival of your child all relevant medical information, which will assist us in providing the best possible care for your child, must be completed in the Application Form. This information is confidential and stored in the Medical Center.
Student Medical Insurance
The school has negotiated a comprehensive medical insurance package with Bupa Blue Cross, a global health insurance company. It is compulsory for all boarding students to join this Medical Scheme which costs 9,000 baht per annum and is included in boarding school fees.
Medical Center
Prem has a fully-equipped Medical Center, which is staffed from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm. Our qualified nursing staff live on campus and are on-call 24 hours. If students wish to attend the Medical Center during school hours they need to gain permission from a teacher and then sign out with the Senior School Secretary. If they have a medical issue outside of school hours they need to gain permission from the boarding staff on duty. In some situations, the Nurse is called by the boarding staff to attend the student in their room. In addition, the Nurse visits the boarding cluster each evening at 8.30 pm.
Hospital Visits
On occasion our students do need to make a hospital visit. When this occurs, a member of staff will generally accompany the student to their appointment. Parents are notified by the Nursing staff or a Senior member of the boarding staff, usually by email. If the hospital visit is of an urgent nature, parents will be contacted immediately. Any student who is admitted to hospital for an overnight stay is accompanied by a boarding staff member.
There are several excellent hospitals in Chiang Mai. We have included their websites and phone numbers for your information.

All boarding students must make their travel arrangements so that they are at school until the last day of term. The school day ends at 3.00 pm. This means that the earliest flight that students should be catching is around 5.00 pm.
Students are required to return on the day prior to term starting. This allows them enough time to settle back in to their rooms, unpack and be well rested and ready for classes the following day.
If your son/daughter is required to leave early or return late, please notify the Director of Boarding or the Boarding Secretary to ensure that the classroom teachers and Principals are aware of this.
Prior to arrival, contact the Director of Boarding lindab@threegeneration.org or the boarding secretary juthamardw@threegeneration.org with your flight number and arrival date and time for airport pickup.

Helmets are to be worn at all times when off-campus. Students are encouraged to lock their bikes when they are not in use. These are kept in the pool undercroft area.

Weekend Leave
Weekend leave must not interfere with other school commitments and will be allowed only with permission from DOB, from the parent, and the host parent/guardian.
Students complete a weekend leave form by the Wednesday evening preceding the weekend. This form is then handed in to boarding staff and on Thursday parents will receive an email or phone call with the details of the host parent/guardian with whom your child wishes to stay for the weekend.
Once parents have been in contact with the host parent, they are asked to contact us giving permission for their child to leave the campus. If we do not receive permission from prents for their child to leave the campus, we will assume that they would rather that their child remain at school.
No student can leave the campus on a non-designated school outing without parental permission.
We would prefer students not to undertake weekend leave on either the first or last weekend of term, unless they are accompanied by their parents.
Boarders are allowed to invite day students into the boarding house on weekends with the permission of either the DOB or the Deputy Director of Boarding.
Please ensure your requests for transportation are completed at least two days in advance.
All boarding students should make every effort to return to school on the evening prior to school commencing.

Wat Suan Dok
Located on Suthep Road, this temple was built in a 14th century Lanna Thai monarch’s pleasure gardens and is a favourite spot for photographers, particularly of striking sunsets. The 500-year-old bronze Buddha image in a secondary chapel is one of Thailand’s largest metal images.
Wat Chiang Man
Located on Ratchapakkinai Road, this is Chiang Mai’s oldest temple and probably dates from 1296. The temple was the residence of King Mengrai, who founded Chiang Mai, and is noteworthy for a chedi supported by rows of elephantine buttresses, and a small ancient Buddha image, Phra Kaeo Khao.
