Rocking Philbert Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 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.

Logosone Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logosone Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It will be good for him. Learning about different culture, another language, he'll be better off than staying in cloistered local place. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaanbiker Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Private /English speaking Schools I've never seen or heard of a school that could speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Logosone Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnacha Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) 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.

moontang Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 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.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Philbert Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
