Visual Storytelling by:

Pearada Unahalekhaka
Columbia University Graduate | MA Strategic Communications

As part of the Independent Schools Show Bangkok, guests are invited to experience live watercolour painting by visual storyteller Pearada Unahalekhaka. With us throughout the event, Pearada will create individual personalised portraits, so families leave with a beautiful, hand-painted watercolour as a memorable keepsake from the day.

It’s rare to have so many top British schools together in Thailand. The Show made it easy to compare different approaches and find the environment that suits our son best.
