Bangkok international schools, secondary. The fee does not climb with the year group the way it does elsewhere — both schools charge less at Year 13 than at Year 12, and St Andrews charges less at Year 11 than at Year 7 — so a single number for "secondary" would hide the shape as well as the spread. A widely cited fee survey put Bangkok secondary at THB 600,000–750,000; the schools’ own documents say otherwise.

A comparison of prices, not a budget: it says what things cost here against the United States, not what a month will cost you. Compared at country level, so capital cities and large metros run higher. The price level prices the basket residents buy, and a foreign renter cannot reach the cheap end of local housing — poorer countries may still sit too low here.

Two mid-tier Bangkok international schools, from their own 2026/27 schedules, secondary years only, and every year group each of them prints. St Andrews Bangkok charges THB 757,100 for Years 7 to 9, 823,700 for Year 10, 730,900 for Year 11, 873,800 for Year 12 and 767,800 for Year 13. Bangkok Prep charges 790,800 for Years 7 to 9, 846,500 for Years 10 and 11, 862,200 for Year 12 and 771,200 for Year 13. Both were re-read at source and both agreed with what this record already said. What did not survive is the arithmetic on top of them. The figure was THB 793,225, the middle of a middle of a middle: a median per school and then a median of the two. Nine prices are printed and not one of them is 793,225. Bangkok’s top tier is left out and named so the exclusion can be argued with: Bangkok Patana, ISB, NIST and Harrow. Patana’s own Year 7 to 9 rate is THB 842,000, which sits inside the range below rather than above it, so leaving the top tier out changes less here than the rule expects.

World Bank, 2024, CC BY 4.0: the PPP conversion factor for household consumption is 10.9070 local currency units per international dollar, against an official exchange rate of 35.2935 to the US dollar. Their ratio, 0.309, is the price level against the United States, whose own ratio is 1 by construction. Both figures are theirs; the division is ours. See the Pathoff method, section 12.

보호자 비자Dedicated guardian visa, renewable yearly

Pathoff outcome rubric (the Pathoff method, section 10-1), early outcome band "A parent route exists with limits": A Royal Thai consulate publishes a Non-Immigrant O visa for the parent or guardian of a student, extendable in one-year blocks while the child stays enrolled, with no nationality condition. Below Malaysia for the annual renewal, the deposit, and the fact that immigration normally grants one guardian per child.

The visa carries no right to work. A two-parent family generally needs a second route for the other parent.

여기는 어떤 곳인가

Thailand issues a visa to the parent or guardian of a child enrolled at a recognised school, renewable a year at a time for as long as the child is studying. Almost no Western country does this. Set against it: Bangkok’s established international schools are expensive by Asian standards — more than Kuala Lumpur, close to London — and the guardian visa carries no right to work.

절차는 이렇습니다

1

Enrol the child at a Ministry-recognised school

The school issues the letter the child’s ED visa is built on.

⏱ 1–6 months
2

Child’s ED visa, then the guardian visa

The guardian application depends on the child’s status existing first.

⏱ 4–8 weeks
3

Extend in country each year

Renewed at the Immigration Bureau against continued enrolment and a bank balance.

⏱ annual
