Metro Forest Learning Center (Thai: ศูนย์เรียนรู้ป่าในกรุง) is a park in Prawet district, Bangkok, Thailand. Opened in 2014, the 12 rai (1.9 ha) park was financed by the PTT Reforestation and Ecology Institute and is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from Suvarnabhumi Airport. The park was constructed on abandoned land owned by PTT. The park's landscaping was designed using the Miyawaki method, where native trees are densely planted to foster fast growth.

Pan-Asia International School

Pan-Asia International School (Thai: โรงเรียนนานาชาติแพนเอเซีย, RTGS: Rong Rian Nana Chat Paen Aesia), or PAIS, is an International School located in Prawet District, Bangkok, Thailand, and a member of the International Schools Association of Thailand (ISAT). Established in 2004, PAIS provides international education built upon American standards with a strong emphasis on eastern culture to over 470 students representing more than 41 nations.PAIS is located in the heart of a rapidly growing area about 10 kilometers from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok's Pravet district, 20 kilometers from the city's center. PAIS features an auditorium with stage, two science laboratories, a music room, a swimming pool, a library/media center, an IT (Mac) lab, a covered basketball/volleyball court, a football pitch, fun playgrounds and a mini swimming pool for Kindergarten students.As Prawet district is a “suburban” location, it remains a green area and does not suffer from traffic congestion or air pollution nearly as much as the central part of the city. The school is located on a side street approximately 200 meters from the district’s main road Chalerm Prakiat Ratchikan Thi 9. PAIS uses an American educational curriculum up through grade 5, the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IBMYP) from Grade 6 - 8, and Diploma Program(IBDP) curriculum in grades 11 and 12. PAIS is owned by the not-for-profit Thai charitable organization Social Welfare Society Thailand. SWS promotes education through a number of projects across Thailand. In 2010, shortly after the last WASC visit, a 23 year management contract was awarded to Marmara Company, an educational management organization that manages three local schools. In 2017 SWS and Marmara Company mutually decided to terminate the managing contract and hand over the school to SWS.
