Hi Folks,

 

I have asked this question before but need  a reminder , I am considering sending My son who is five years old and lives with me and his Thai mum in the U.K. to a Private or international School in Chiang Mai as my wife is from nearby there. Can Anyone give me an Idea how much it would cost on average per year at a Private or English speaking school as he does not speak any Thai.

 

all advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Phil

Hi Phil,

 

It's about 62000 Baht per six months for the lower end options and can go more than twice that high for the more expensive options.

Doesn't speak a word of Thai---5 years old.....sending him across the world , to a place his mum comes from, but she wont be there......Gosh what a culture shock for the little guy.............

It will be good for him. Learning about different culture, another language, he'll be better off than staying in cloistered local place.

Private /English speaking Schools

No, it won't. He's 5, he's far too young to be removed from his parents and sent off to boarding school.

Hopefully the OP means they will all move and it will be a day school.

Nobody said anything about removing him from his mother and father. 

 

It is to be hoped his parents will be with him, which would seem the obvious thing.

 

Nobody said anything about a boarding school either, so one would suspect he just means a day school.

Schools in CM not much. Pollution is literally the worst in the world. Didn't much enjoy leaving my mother's side at five. He's to be shipped around the world. I'm glad I'm not him.

 

And of course this is being considered at the apex of the covid pandemic.

Maybe I am reading it wrong Logosone................

If there is any way you can get him into any sort of school in the UK, do that.

The quality of education even at the most expensive private schools in Thailand is laughable. I speak from experience.

Also, exposure to levels of particulate pollution that high does impact the cognitive development of children. What is happening in Thailand right now is an unprecedented mass experiment on humans.

 

Lanna International School or LIST is perhaps the best deal for price/quality.  Always a lot of extra fees at the private schools.  2-300k per year total, at LIST, I would guestimate..

Thanks for the replies, as it stands he will be with his Mum and myself though I prefer living in the U.K having lived in Thailand, as it stands we are just weighing up all possibilities  and there is no way I would pack My Son off to boarding school

private english speaking school in cm

Not surprised, that's how I read it.

 

Chiang Mai is fine in terms of Covid19 doing a lot better than the UK, you just have to be ready for the three months from Feb to April. Bad air.
