Phoenix publishes ฿147,600/year from Kindergarten through Secondary, but gives no academic year; BJP has only a dated 27 July 2026 snapshot recording ฿80,000–฿120,000 tuition. Phoenix follows a Thai-core Cambridge-aligned bilingual route through Secondary 6. The former BJP route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so confirm BJP’s current programme and tariff in writing.

Phoenix uses a live school-published fee page without an academic-year label. BJP’s school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026 records a 2026/27 schedule, but the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; it is not a current public tariff. Request dated written confirmation from both schools before comparing price.

| Fee structure and extras | Primary-undated: the restored official fee page publishes Nursery tuition at ฿12,000 per month and Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary tuition at ฿147,600 per year, split into two ฿73,800 terms. The page does not state an academic year or the number of Nursery months billed, so the directory does not annualise the monthly Nursery amount or label the annual tariff 2026/27. Enrolment is ฿40,000 for all ages. Books are ฿3,000 for Nursery and ฿8,000 for Kindergarten through Secondary; annual lunch is ฿5,000, ฿8,000, ฿8,000 and ฿10,000 respectively. Uniforms and sports kit, ID cards, external competitions, after-school classes and activities, excursions/camping, visa processing, bus service and accident insurance are excluded but unpriced. The page says the academic year begins in May and follows the Thai school calendar. Request a dated grade-specific quotation before paying. | Dated school-published 2026/27 snapshot captured 27 July 2026: Preschool tuition ฿80,000; Kindergarten/Reception ฿100,000; Primary, Secondary and ESL ฿120,000. Mandatory annual registration was listed separately at ฿12,000, making the recorded tuition-plus-registration span ฿92,000-฿132,000. The captured table listed single-, two- and three-payment schedules; two instalments added ฿5,000/year and three added ฿10,000/year. It also listed books/course materials ฿2,000-฿17,500/year; accident insurance ฿2,000/year; canteen ฿400/week or ฿1,500/month; bus ฿2,000-฿10,000/month; uniform items ฿100-฿1,500; sibling tuition discounts of 10%/15%/20%; and GED at ฿120,000. The former fee route was unavailable when rechecked 29 August 2026. Request written confirmation of the current programme, academic year, amounts and terms before relying on any figure. |

| Published support-cost label | No language- or learning-support tariff appears on the live primary-undated fee page. | The 27 July 2026 snapshot listed ESL as a ฿120,000/year programme/tuition category, not a separate learning-support tariff. The former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; confirm current provision and cost in writing. |
Do not compare the lowest and highest numbers as though they cover the same grade. Read each school’s fee-structure row, then request the exact grade invoice. Registration, meals, transport, books, support and external examinations can materially change the first-year and recurring totals.
Phoenix Wittaya publishes the Thai Basic Education Core Curriculum with a Cambridge-aligned bilingual programme for ages 2–17+; BJP’s school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026 described an English National Curriculum pathway, IGCSE through Year 10, GED preparation and ESL support for ages 2–16. The former BJP route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; confirm its current programme, age span and teaching languages in writing. Ask for a current weekly timetable, not only a curriculum logo, so you can see which subjects are actually taught in each language.
BJP has only a dated school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026; the former route was unavailable on 29 August 2026, so ฿80,000–฿120,000/year standard tuition is not a current public tariff. Phoenix Wittaya publishes ฿147,600/year Kindergarten–Secondary; Nursery ฿12,000/month (billing months unstated). A current price comparison is not supportable until BJP supplies a dated, grade-specific written quote including compulsory extras. If the range covers very different ages, the child’s own row matters more than either endpoint.
Phoenix Wittaya: primary-undated, checked 29 August 2026. BJP: dated 2026/27 snapshot captured 27 July 2026 and reconciled 29 August 2026; the former route was unavailable on 29 August 2026, so a current written tariff is required. Published figures use standard tuition before full-year-payment discounts; discounted figures are labelled as such. A primary-undated schedule is school-published but cannot safely be assigned to an academic year. A dated snapshot is historical school-published evidence, not a claim that the tariff remains publicly available or current. Save the dated school document or email alongside the offer.
Phoenix Wittaya records no boarding. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot did not list boarding and recorded an age span of 2–16; the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so confirm BJP’s current age span, boarding status and transition point in writing before shortlisting.
Ask both schools for a dated, grade-specific invoice separating tuition, registration, deposit, meals, transport, books, uniforms, support and examination charges. Also confirm the teaching language, qualification route and next transfer point in writing.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded a detailed 2026/27 tariff, but the former BJP route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; the snapshot is historical and requires a current written BJP quote. Phoenix's restored live page publishes ฿147,600/year from Kindergarten through Secondary plus ฿40,000 enrolment, but gives no academic-year label. Treat Phoenix as primary-undated and BJP as a dated snapshot, then obtain child-specific offers.
Phoenix records a Thai Basic Education Core Curriculum and a Cambridge-aligned bilingual programme. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded an English National Curriculum pathway, IGCSE preparation through Year 10, GED preparation and ESL support. The former BJP route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so require current written confirmation of the exact programme, year, teaching languages and placement basis.
Do not treat “Cambridge-aligned,” “English National Curriculum” or “IGCSE pathway” as a complete qualification statement. For an older applicant, request the subjects currently taught, examination entry arrangements, awarding body, candidate-registration process and the route after the school’s highest published year. Ask a likely receiving school or institution to confirm important recognition questions independently.
Visit the proposed class during an ordinary lesson. Record how Thai and English are used, how teachers explain unfamiliar work, how pupils receive feedback and what happens when children work at different speeds. Ask for a current timetable, anonymised samples of age-appropriate work and the report format parents receive.
If English support may be needed, separate language acquisition from other learning needs. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an ESL tuition row, but the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; require current written confirmation of provision, provider, frequency, exit criteria and cost. Ask Phoenix the same questions. Neither a historical programme label nor a fee line guarantees a suitable plan for a particular child.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded tuition of ฿80,000 for Preschool, ฿100,000 for Kindergarten or Reception and ฿120,000 for Primary, Secondary and ESL; it also recorded ฿12,000 annual registration and separately priced materials, insurance, canteen and bus. The former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so none of those figures is a current public tariff; require a current, grade-specific written BJP quote.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot also recorded ฿5,000 added for two instalments, ฿10,000 for three, and sibling discounts of 10%/15%/20%. The former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so confirm the current payment schedule, discount eligibility and applicable tuition lines in writing before building totals.
Request Phoenix tuition, application, registration, deposit, meals, books, transport, uniform, insurance, trips, examinations, devices, clubs and language or learning support in those same rows. The quote should name the academic year, child’s grade, programme, payment dates and refund conditions. Build totals for money due before attendance, the complete first school year and a recurring year after one-time charges fall away.
Phoenix’s recorded age span reaches 17 and above. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded an age span to 16 and an IGCSE pathway through Year 10, but the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; require current written confirmation of the programme, endpoint, credential, transcripts and likely next transition.
Rehearse one realistic move: entry to another Pattaya senior school, relocation abroad or a university-preparation route. Ask a likely receiving institution how it would place the child and which documents it needs. This exposes pathway assumptions now without pretending that a future place is guaranteed.
Phoenix is in Nong Prue; the retained BJP record places that school near Siam Country Club in Banglamung. Confirm BJP’s current entrance and contract address, then drive both routes at actual arrival and collection times, including work, sibling stops and activities. If using transport, obtain the precise stop, pickup window, likely journey length, supervision and price. Put the journey beside school calendars and care outside core hours.
Before paying, compare notice and refund rules under two scenarios: a withdrawal before the first day and a move after a term has begun. Ask which application, registration, material, transport and tuition payments remain non-refundable, how much notice is required and when any approved refund is processed. Keep the written answer with the quotation. A low annual headline can still create greater short-term exposure if the family must commit earlier or cannot recover unused services.
Finish with one page recording placement, teaching language, classroom evidence, complete first-year and recurring costs, support, commute and the next pathway checkpoint. Save both written offers and terms. Until Phoenix supplies its current tariff, the honest comparison can describe its educational route but cannot name it the cheaper or more expensive choice.
Review every open item before the acceptance deadline, not after payment.
