Rugby School Thailand is the Thai sister school of Rugby School in England, on a big campus east of Pattaya. If you're paying for the top end, this is usually the one people mean.
"The facilities are first class, including a 50-metre competition swimming pool. I've done 10K runs around the school, and they've recently built a golf driving range for their golf academy. My kids did a football camp there over the summer holidays and loved it."
