Explore Thailand, one postcard at a time

Short films that bring Thailand to life — for classrooms in the UK and for families living in or visiting Thailand. Each one paired with ready-to-use activities and printable worksheets.

More than a country — a way of seeing. Thailand is the subject, but the real lesson is how to explore any place and culture: to look closely, ask good questions, and notice whose story gets told. Whether you're teaching a class in the UK or raising curious children here in Thailand, each film builds the curiosity and critical thinking at the heart of KS2 and KS3.

Our approach

Every script in these films is fact-checked and designed to draw children into critical thinking — not just to deliver facts, but to invite them to weigh evidence, question stories, and think for themselves.

Our young presenter, Ashley, is part of that process. He is actively involved in asking the questions and shaping the narratives — so the curiosity you see on screen is real.

Who this is for

One set of films and resources, made with three kinds of curious households and classrooms in mind.

🏫

Teachers

Ready-made lessons that map to KS2 and KS3 geography, history and cultural understanding — films, discussion, quizzes and printable worksheets, with curriculum alignment set out for you.

Families living in Thailand

Families visiting Thailand

Planning a trip? These short films are a lovely way to get children excited and informed before you go — and to look past the postcard at the real stories behind the places you'll visit.

Every film comes with the same free activities, worksheets, quizzes and colouring sheets — use as much or as little as you like. They're a great way to make a trip more interesting, keep curious minds busy on a long journey, or simply explore Thailand together at home.

For teachers and families

Thailand is the doorway, not the destination. These films help children build a transferable way of understanding any place and culture — reading a landscape, weighing evidence, and asking whose perspective is missing. For teachers they slot into geography, history, and RE at Key Stages 2 and 3; for families at home or on the move they're simply a warm, honest way to explore the country together. Everything works on an interactive whiteboard, on a tablet at the kitchen table, or on paper.
