BPIS vs. Hastin
BPIS's low-fee British secondary route through school-published IGCSE and A-Level versus Hastin's Oxford International Curriculum through Year 9.
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.
No. Satit Udomseuksa’s own published classification describes it as bilingual rather than international: it follows the Thai Basic Education Core Curriculum with separate Thai and English Programme tracks. Hastin is recorded as OPEC-registered international school 1120700016 and uses the Oxford International Curriculum through Year 9.
Only Hastin supplies a current public tariff: ฿169,500–฿229,500 for Academic Year 2026 plus named charges. Satit Udomseuksa publishes no current tuition or extras schedule. A Satit price comparison begins only when admissions returns a dated, programme-specific written quote.
Satit Udomseuksa’s Thai-system route continues through Secondary 6; families must verify its exact leaving record and progression evidence. Hastin’s published international route ends after Year 9; families must identify the next school and qualification before enrolment.
Satit Udomseuksa and Hastin overlap by age, but the public records answer different questions. Satit documents its Thai/bilingual identity and longer Thai-system span; Hastin documents a shorter international route and its 2026 prices. A responsible comparison keeps those evidence boundaries visible.
Satit Udomseuksa publishes separate Thai and English Programme tracks under the Thai Basic Education Core Curriculum. The quote must name the chosen track, exact grade, start date and weekly language allocation. A school-wide price without the programme is not a usable offer.
Ask for a current timetable showing which subjects are taught in Thai and English, how entry readiness is assessed and whether pupils can move between tracks. Keep that answer beside the fee quote.
Satit’s current ledger says Semester 1 began on 18 May 2026 and the official stories page advertises 2027 admissions as upcoming, but it publishes no deadline, price or application sequence. Ask whether the offer is for the current year, a mid-year place or the 2027 intake, then require the applicable calendar and payment schedule.
Hastin’s public tariff is labelled Academic Year 2026. If the intended start falls outside that year, request a replacement schedule rather than carrying the 2026 numbers forward.
Satit Udomseuksa is named in current 2026 OPEC-system evidence as a Thai private school. Its own classification article says it is bilingual rather than international. The school also publishes an ONESQA claim, but the guide has not verified a current accreditor record for this campus and therefore does not elevate that wording into an accreditation fact.
Hastin appears in OPEC’s international-school register as school 1120700016. That confirms the registered school record; it does not by itself verify a future IGCSE, upper-secondary route or teaching quality. Keep registration, curriculum and outcome evidence separate.
Satit publishes no current price for tuition, application, enrolment, deposit, meals, transport, uniforms, books, examinations, activities or support. Send admissions a table containing every one of those rows and require a number, “included,” “optional” or “not offered” beside each. Ask separately for withdrawal, late-payment and refund terms.
Do not compare Satit with Hastin until the dated Satit total exists. “Fees on application” is a missing input, not evidence that Satit is cheaper or more expensive.
Hastin publishes tuition of ฿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. Annual property protection and accident insurance add ฿1,000 each.
Early Years meals are mandatory at ฿5,000 per term; Years 1–6 meals are optional at ฿6,000 per term and Years 7–9 at ฿6,500. Bus, uniforms, trips and external examinations remain unpriced. Visa-document processing carries separate published charges and may require full-year tuition in advance.
Satit’s published span continues through Thai Secondary 6. Ask for the exact leaving record, assessment evidence, transcript format and Thai university-entry route, plus what an international receiving school would use for placement. Do not translate Thai Secondary labels directly into British Years.
Hastin’s current pathway ends after Year 9. Ask for its recent transfer procedure, reports, curriculum map and likely next qualifications. A family needing one school through a senior external qualification cannot infer that continuity from the present route.
Satit records a 1999 founding and a 10-rai campus. Hastin records a 2009 origin, a five-rai campus and international registration from 2025. Those facts describe different settings and histories; they do not rank classroom quality. Visit the proposed class, inspect anonymised work and ask who would teach and support this child.
Satit is at 54/41 Moo 11 on Sukhumvit Road, Soi Tanman in Nongprue; Hastin is at 16/5 Moo 9 on Pornprapanimit Road in Pong beside Mabprachan. Both are day schools. Neither publishes a usable bus tariff, so request pickup time, ride duration, supervision, late-collection rules and the price for the exact home address.
If admissions supplies only a total, return the itemised template and ask which charges are compulsory, optional, refundable, recurring or one-time.
Keep unpriced bus, uniform, trip, examination and support items open until admissions completes them.
Choose Satit only if the family intentionally wants a Thai national-curriculum route, the selected Thai or English Programme is clear in the timetable, the complete dated quote is acceptable and the Secondary 6 evidence matches the child’s later plan. Its longer age span should not substitute for confirming the final record.
Choose Hastin only if the English-medium Oxford route fits now, the 2026 invoice remains applicable, the unpriced services are acceptable and the family has a credible destination after Year 9. Its international-school registration should not be stretched into an unadvertised senior qualification.
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.
