What this means for the area

A school of this level increases demand for family housing around Mabprachan Lake: villas and houses in gated estates within 15 minutes' drive of the school, a growing expat community, and the development of cafes and services. See the districts Huay Yai, Nong Prue and Pong, as well as villas and houses.
