Schools by area, and the school run

East Pattaya and Mabprachan

All 13 East Pattaya schools with 2026/27 fees

The inland area around Mabprachan Lake, Siam Country Club, Pong and Nongprue contains several schools in this guide. It is a residential option for families comparing more than one East Pattaya campus; home-to-school routes still vary by exact address.

Schools to consider nearby include Regents, Rugby, Mooltripakdee, Tara Pattana, Burapha Pattanasart, BJP Elite and Highgate. Highgate reports its first phase open; check the child's year group and planned later provision in its profile. This area is inland; a car or a confirmed school-bus route is likely to matter.

Jomtien

Schools near Jomtien

Jomtien sits south of central Pattaya and offers a coastal base. It may be practical for Tara Pattana and some southern routes; East Pattaya schools require an inland journey. Test the route at school times and check bus coverage, as public transport is limited.

Pratumnak Hill

Pratumnak lies between South Pattaya and Jomtien. Its hill setting puts the coast and city close, while East Pattaya campuses require a cross-town journey. Check the school route and local walking access before choosing an address here.

Naklua and North Pattaya

Schools in Naklua and North Pattaya

Naklua is north of central Pattaya, with coastal housing and older neighbourhoods. Its location may work better for a northern school than for the Mabprachan cluster. Test any cross-town school journey before committing.

Central and South Pattaya

Central and South Pattaya have dense traffic and nightlife. Phoenix Wittaya is in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, east of the city centre. Compare the actual morning and afternoon routes from a prospective home to each school.

Huai Yai

Huai Yai is inland and home to EFIP, the French school in this guide. For an EFIP shortlist, check homes here and in adjacent East Pattaya against the current campus and bus route. A car is likely to matter.

Sriracha and Bowin

All six Si Racha schools with 2026/27 fees

Sriracha is north of Pattaya toward Laem Chabang and has an established Japanese community. International School Eastern Seaboard sits inland at Bowin. If ISE is on the shortlist, compare homes around Sriracha and Bowin with the route from Pattaya, and include the adults’ work commute.

Ban Chang and Rayong

Schools in Ban Chang

Ban Chang and Rayong lie south of Pattaya beyond the U-Tapao corridor. The area includes Garden International and St Andrew's Green Valley, alongside industrial employers and established residential communities. Compare a Ban Chang address with a Pattaya address at actual school times before deciding.
