Three established schools cluster within THB 100,000 of each other, which is why the figure sits where it does. A widely cited fee survey put Bangkok secondary at THB 600,000–750,000; the schools’ own documents say otherwise.

Bangkok has enough international schools to have a top tier, so the expensive one is named and left out: Bangkok Patana, ISB, NIST and Harrow are the schools this figure is deliberately not priced on. The two it is priced on publish their own 2026/27 schedules. 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 — a median of THB 767,800. 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 — a median of THB 818,650. Recorded at the median of the two schools, THB 793,225 a year, secondary only. Bangkok's top tier turns out to sit close to its middle: Patana's own Year 7 to 9 rate is THB 842,000, so this correction is small.

Three established schools cluster within THB 100,000 of each other, which is why the figure sits where it does. A widely cited fee survey put Bangkok secondary at THB 600,000–750,000; the schools’ own documents say otherwise.

Pathoff judgement directed by evidence, not computed from it: the country’s position comes from the World Bank household consumption price level for 2024 (0.309 of the United States, CC BY 4.0 — the ICP benchmark carried forward annually by the World Bank’s own method); the US reference budget is ours. See the Pathoff method, section 12.

Pathoff judgement, no rubric yet: placed against the other countries here from general knowledge of the international-school sector. Under review — see the Pathoff method, section 9-3.

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
