Thongkorn Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Nothing is free in Thailand, The Government hospital and school are a disgrace to Thai people, along with the so called Education system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I can't say for sure if Thailand has a school leaving age the way that developed countries do. But 15 is something of a watershed year for them. That is when they get their ID card, can legally work, and can sign up for the military cadet program (males only). If they do that, they avoid the requirement for compulsory military service later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allane Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 According to Wikipedia,Thai's get their ID card (bat prachachon) at age 15. Unless something has changed very recently, perhaps you are referring to some sort of student ID card ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Let's try this over in the Family and Children forum. Topic Moved P.S. My wife says they get out of high school when they are 17/18. Some 16, some 19, but this is rare. As for healthcare, at government hospitals, care is free. At least from what my wife's family is telling me!
