Anyone know the cost of sending a 10 year old boy back to school at the beginning of term? Books pencils whatever; Is the upcoming term when new books etc would be required?

Thanks in advance.

must remember school uniforms, shoes and a book bag. Also a scout uniform as everyone is expected to be a scout...all girls anyways. All this can run into some dough as I found out and is quite a hardship for poor families.

There are a number of variables; such as private or government school but books would probably be at least 2-3k and uniforms/misc. make it a time for loans for many. Someone that did it last year or so should be able to provide a breakdown for you. Also payment to school (if government may only be a few hundred baht but if private the tuition), bus, school bag, scout uniform, activity uniform, hats, lunch money.

Yes this is the new school year coming up in May.

lop...do you know approx. when in May the new school year starts? I got my two step daughters coming to Bahrain to visit and still haven't got their visas sorted yet.

I would bank on around 10,000 THB for the basic stuff to head off to school.

Thats not including any tuition fees, school busses etc etc.
