Piboon Prachasan School is a public school that is a role model for other state schools in Thailand. Each student receives 30 baht/meal given to the government for around 1000 students. There are four categorized schools here:

Each grade has its own meal plan and nutritional pattern. Nutritionists cooperate with public health workers in primary care to monitor children (both underweight and overweight) after anthropometric measurements. They also conduct frequent monitoring assessments of food booths outside the school. Parents are given food and nutrition instruction about meal preparation at home twice a year.

Unlike kindergarten children, who get school-provided meals, primary and secondary school students have access to meals during break time based on their interests. The school provides opportunities for third vendors to set up student food stalls. Student payment works as follows: when students come to school and pass through the scanning system (also used for attendance), they are immediately charged a 30 baht lunch per student. When lunchtime arrives, they use student pay as a payment method, and the food selection is personalized to the students' preferences.

One of the categorized classes in Piboon Prachasan School is for inclusive education, often known as special education in Thailand. This class's activities are fairly diversified; to maximize their physical motor and cognitive abilities, a cafe is provided, complete with waiters and kitchen personnel who are themselves. The school visit team had the opportunity to have cocktail ice served. I feel pleased to witness inclusive students empowered. :))
