Interesting observations about Thais in classrooms and certainly something to consider. I agree about the size - I really don't expect we should push for 500. Would be nice if a school or organization had a more informal "student union" like Unis in USA have. Generally have meeting rooms that are more casual and used for club & group meetings. Not sure if such a thing exists here or not.
