Fees radar
Thailand school fees radar
Where Thailand's school fees stand, how they're moving, and what schools actually publish — computed from our verified dataset, 2026-10-06. How we compile it: methodology.
The market curve starts here
October 2026 is our verified baseline: the median listed school (midpoint of its published range) charges ฿414,000 a year. Earlier years will be added to this curve only as archived, verifiable data points are recovered — a fees radar that back-fills estimates would be measuring its own guesses. From this baseline forward, every annual re-check adds a real point.
