mercman24 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hi, perhaps someone on here could offer some advice, a teacher maybe or someone who has a child about to start the new term, i am asking about the cost of books etc for the up coming term, the sum of 22,000 baht has been mentioned, (seems a bit excessive to me)? only i am planning to do a good deed, but you know how it is, when you make an offer, then the price (maybe) goes up ha ha.any reply/input appreciated.KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko123 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Your post doesn't make clear whether your child is attending public or private school and what 22,000 includes. 22,000 is about what I pay per term for tuition (17,000) and books (4,000) at private school.

mercman24 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 i just had a reply from a female friend, 2 daughters, about 10/12 (junior school) would i be correct ? she pays 6000 each per term plus 1000 each for transport, and books are extra, so i imagine 22,000 is not far off the mark. that was a bit of a shock to me, and now i see why thai ladies have to scrimp and save to get their kids an education, notice i didn't mention the male species. ??

That's private school.. Government schools are free for tuition. Books, uniforms etc cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeichen Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 or it could be a government school with a special program. 6k per term is very cheap for a private school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I've just shelled out, for a 2 year old, 1800B for four different uniforms, 3000B for food and snacks until the October break, 1050 for milk until October, 3000B for a sleeping bed, outfit, blankets and a bag, then about 1000B for the two different types of shoes and a variety of socks. Thankfully they don't buy books at age 2. So 10,000B to cover the term, and that's before fees come into it. I can't remember the fees as I get a discount - I work at the school - but I think normally around 25,000B a term. I can afford it, but if I had three kids I'd be struggling.
