This comparison is deliberately not a price ranking. Satit Udomseuksa publishes Thai and English Programme routes from Nursery through Secondary 6 but no current tuition or extras tariff. Hastin publishes an English-medium Oxford International Curriculum route from Pre-Nursery through Year 9 with Academic Year 2026 tuition of ฿169,500–฿229,500. The leaving credential, Year 9 transition and complete extras matter as much as the headline gap.

Both schools are in Banglamung, but Satit Udomseuksa follows the Thai national system with separate Thai and English Programme tracks from Nursery through Secondary 6 while Hastin publishes an English-medium international route from Pre-Nursery through Year 9. Their learning models and exit routes are not interchangeable.

Satit Udomseuksa publishes no current tariff, while Hastin labels its schedule Academic Year 2026. Obtain a complete enrolling-year Satit quote before comparing. Request Satit Udomseuksa’s tuition, application, enrolment, deposits, meals, bus, books, uniforms, activities, examinations and support alongside Hastin’s application, enrolment, meals, protection charges, visa processing, bus, uniforms, trips and examinations.
Satit Udomseuksa publishes fees on application with no current tariff. Hastin publishes Academic Year 2026 tuition of ฿169,500–฿229,500 plus named entry, meal and protection charges.
Satit Udomseuksa follows Thailand’s national system with Thai and English Programme tracks; Hastin is an international school using Oxford International Curriculum through Year 9.
Satit Udomseuksa families should obtain a complete quote and confirm weekly language allocation, Thai-system assessment, Secondary 6 record and university-entry guidance. Hastin families need a documented move after Year 9 into the next qualification.
The schools overlap from the early years through lower secondary and both record English as the teaching medium alongside Thai. The resemblance ends there: Satit Udomseuksa’s Thai-system routes continue through Secondary 6, while Hastin’s Oxford International Curriculum currently stops at Year 9.
Ask both schools to state the child’s proposed class, start date, age cut-off and following year. Satit Udomseuksa publishes Nursery through Secondary 6; Hastin publishes Pre-Nursery through Year 9.
Do not translate Grade and Year labels by number alone. Request the placement assessment, class equivalence, current cohort and written progression route. At Satit Udomseuksa, ask how Thai-system placement and English readiness are assessed. At Hastin, make the Year 9 move part of the initial offer.
Satit Udomseuksa follows the Thai Basic Education Core Curriculum with Thai and English Programme tracks. Ask for a current subject map, exam-board entry evidence and examples showing progression from Year 7 into the senior programme.
Hastin uses the Oxford International Curriculum through Key Stages 1–3. Ask for a current curriculum map, lesson evidence, assessment schedule and examples showing how subjects connect across the year.
At both schools, inspect anonymised work from the proposed class rather than relying on programme labels alone.
Satit Udomseuksa publishes no current tuition figure. Request a written quote naming the exact grade, Thai or English Programme, attendance dates and payment schedule.
Satit Udomseuksa publishes no current tariff for application, enrolment, deposits, meals, bus, uniforms, books, examinations, activities or other extras. Require every row in writing.
Hastin publishes ฿169,500 for Pre-Nursery through Reception, ฿198,900 for Years 1–6 and ฿229,500 for Years 7–9. Application is ฿3,000 and enrolment ฿30,000.
Hastin prices mandatory Early Years meals at ฿5,000 per term, optional meals at ฿6,000 in Years 1–6 or ฿6,500 in Years 7–9, plus annual ฿1,000 property protection and ฿1,000 accident insurance. Bus, uniforms, trips and external examinations remain unpriced.
Satit Udomseuksa continues through Thai Secondary 6. Ask for the leaving record, Thai university-entry route and evidence used for international transfer; do not translate Secondary labels directly into British Years. Ask admissions to name the credential, awarding body, external examinations, transcript format and universities or systems that recognise it.
Hastin’s current pathway reaches Year 9. Ask which secondary schools accept its record, what placement evidence is supplied, which qualification pupils enter next and where recent leavers progress.
For either route, rehearse a move after two years and request the curriculum map, grading scale, report samples, references and clearance conditions that would travel with the child.
Satit Udomseuksa does not publish a usable language- or learning-support tariff in the current ledger. Hastin does not publish a usable language- or learning-support tariff in the current ledger.
If support matters, request the staff member, group size, minutes per week, review date, progress measure, exit criteria and price. Separate English acquisition from other learning needs and ask what happens when the school cannot provide the recommended support.
Bring existing reports before assessment and require any provision limits in writing.
Satit Udomseuksa is named in current 2026 OPEC-system evidence; Hastin appears as registered international school 1120700016. Registration supports each school record but does not establish a particular external qualification or accreditation.
Ask each school for campus-specific examination or recognition evidence, then compare teacher qualifications, class size, homework, reporting cadence and safeguarding practice. Keep registration separate from curriculum and credential claims.
Satit Udomseuksa’s current ledger does not record usable late-payment, withdrawal or refund terms; ask for them in writing.
Hastin gives a three-business-day grace period, then charges ฿100 per day for tuition and ฿50 per day for special-course or transport fees. Only tuition is potentially refundable under its notice and clearance rules.
Ask both admissions teams to mark refundable, non-refundable and prorated rows on the offer before payment.
Satit Udomseuksa is in Nongprue, Banglamung; Hastin is in Pong beside Mabprachan. Drive both routes at arrival and collection times, including work and sibling stops.
Both schools are day-only and neither publishes a usable bus tariff. Request an exact address quote, pickup time, route duration, supervision and late-collection arrangement.
Save offers, fee schedules, calendars and recognition answers together.
Arrive before the class begins and watch the transition from gate to room. Record how quickly the child separates, who welcomes them, which language adults use and whether the routine is understandable without repeated prompting. Ask what happens on a difficult morning and how parents are informed. A polished tour after children leave cannot answer these questions.
Ask for a starting assessment, mid-year report and anonymised work from the proposed class. At Satit Udomseuksa, trace Thai national curriculum goals and English-programme work into assessed progress and the Secondary 6 record. At Hastin, trace English-medium classwork through Oxford International Curriculum units and readiness for the next secondary system.
Record the balance of adult-led, child-initiated, individual and group activity during the visit. Ask how teachers adapt the same task for a child who is new to English, already reading or reluctant to join a group. The right environment is not defined by one teaching philosophy; it is the setting where staff can explain how this child will participate and progress.
Confirm arrival supervision, meals, allergies, illness procedures, late collection and activities. Satit Udomseuksa leaves all tuition and extras rows unpublished; Hastin prices meals and two annual protection charges outside tuition. Neither publishes every routine-service price, so require a personalised inclusion list.
Place both calendars beside the family’s work calendar. Count closures that require alternative care and ask whether holiday programmes are offered, separately registered or guaranteed to enrolled pupils. A school-year tuition comparison does not capture care purchased during long breaks.
Satit Udomseuksa is at 54/41 Moo 11 on Sukhumvit Road, Soi Tanman in Nongprue, Banglamung; Hastin is at 16/5 Moo 9 on Pornprapanimit Road in Pong. Verify each entrance and contract address, then test both drives at the family’s real travel times.
Both schools are day-only. Ask whether the home address is served, then obtain pickup time, route duration, supervision and price in writing.
For each school, finish the sentence: “This place works if…” Include the quoted total, language routine, classroom fit, support availability, care hours, travel ceiling and next-school plan. Then write the conditions that would trigger a review. This prevents a single attractive feature from hiding an unresolved cost or transition risk.
Run the same exercise for two future dates. At age six, compare Satit Udomseuksa’s Thai or English Programme and Thai-system assessment with Hastin’s English-medium Oxford-framed work. By early secondary, compare Satit Udomseuksa’s progression toward Secondary 6 with Hastin’s documented transfer route after Year 9.
Before signing, compare the invoice language line by line. For Satit Udomseuksa include tuition, application, enrolment, senior textbooks, examinations, transport, uniforms, trips, activities, support and card surcharges; for Hastin include enrolment, meals, protection charges and visa processing.
Also rehearse a mid-year move. Ask what notice is required, which reports and curriculum records would be released, how deposits are returned and whether prepaid services are refundable. Families using the Eastern Seaboard industrial corridor should test both routes at real collection time, because a lower fee cannot compensate for an unsustainable daily journey.
Ask how each school handles a mid-year departure before assuming either transfer will happen neatly at the end of a stage. Record required notice, reports supplied, outstanding-fee conditions and whether unused services can be refunded. A family expecting relocation should weight these documented terms alongside teaching and price.
Do not pay while a condition remains material and unanswered. Ask admissions to correct the offer email, retain Satit Udomseuksa’s dated written quote and Hastin’s Academic Year 2026 schedule and note who supplied every grade and support answer. That record makes the decision auditable.
Only Hastin publishes a current tuition range, at ฿169,500–฿229,500 for Academic Year 2026; Satit Udomseuksa is fees on application. Compare complete matched-year totals before deciding.
No. Satit Udomseuksa follows the Thai national system with separate Thai and English Programme tracks. Hastin uses the Oxford International Curriculum through Year 9.
Satit Udomseuksa publishes Nursery through Secondary 6. Hastin publishes Pre-Nursery through Year 9 and requires a later transfer.
