International Schools, Expat Classes

Expat families moving to Thailand are naturally very interested in and careful about the school they want to put their children into.

I have always been very skeptical about professional, slick advertising, as well as biased reviews (to say the least). I suggest creating a shortlist of schools to visit, and then visiting those schools either in advance of a move or shortly upon arrival.

There are also schools for expats, from Thai language schools to university degree programs. For example, when my daughter went to an all English university here in Thailand, I was surprised about the number of expats also in attendance pursuing a university degree.

However, this section covers just the basics of mainly schools for children up to age 18.

It is best to use this as just one of multiple sources of information. I do not cover schools in depth. This page was created largely to help many of my real estate clients get a first orientation to schools in Bangkok. I have heard countless reviews by clients verbally, but I am hesitant to put anything in writing here online. Actually, I had before and was surprised at the quick responses from some schools, not always pleasant, and I really don't want to engage in battles here, so I will just leave it to verbal, in-person discussions.

There are two sections in the Schools and Education section:

1. Schools for foreign (non-Thai) children ages 1-18 (big table)

   We have organized information on international schools in Bangkok and Thailand which is intended for parents moving to Thailand (usually because of work), in two ways: 1. a table, and 2. a map. The table is conveniently organized by regions within of Bangkok and regions of Thailand. Table shortcuts include:

   • not far from the Bangkok skytrain
   • in SE suburbs: BangNa, Samut Prakarn, Sri Nakharin
   • in NE suburbs: Bangkapi, Minburi
   • in quasi-CBD: Vipawadi, HwayKwang
   • in N suburbs: Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani
   • outside Bangkok: Pattaya, Rayong (eastern seaboard)
   • outside Bangkok: Korat, Saraburi (central)
   • southern Thailand: Phuket
   • northern Thailand: Chiang Mai

   The map is of schools in Bangkok, part of our ssBKK.com Bangkok guide.

2. Classes for Adults (Expats, Girlfriends)

   This section is mainly intended for:

   • Expats wanting to learn Thai
   • Expats wanting Thai wives/girlfriends to improve their English
   • Scuba diving, bird watching, yoga, etc.

Paid advertisement (which expired a long time ago but I've continued running it for years):
