The rows are not ranked as “best value”. Some are international schools, some are Thai-bilingual routes, and some are primary-only specialists. The point is to stop losing the one-time bill behind the annual tuition headline.

The tuition column uses the latest public figure the guide could support from the school’s own source set. Where a school publishes a clean annual range, that annual range is shown. Where the source is partial, monthly or undated, the table says so instead of forcing a false annual comparison.
Application, entry and deposit columns stay separate because they behave differently. A non-refundable acceptance fee changes the risk of trying a school. A refundable deposit changes the cash needed to start. A bus or meal line may be optional at one school and effectively compulsory at another.
Five records still publish no usable public tuition tariff at all: Satit Udomseuksa, Darasamutr Sriracha, Maryvit Bowin, Maryvit Sattahip and Kids Avenue. Assumption College Sriracha currently publishes only a partial Term 1/2569 notice. Several published-fee schools still omit transport, uniform, exam, book or support tariffs.
If a row is the right curricular fit but still missing too many cost lines, move from public research to written admissions questions. Ask for a grade-specific first-year invoice that lists tuition, application, entry, deposit, meals, transport, books, uniforms, support, trips, exams and refund terms before paying anything non-refundable.
This page suits a parent who needs to reject impossible fee structures fast, compare the risk of non-refundable entry fees, or see which schools still hide too much of the invoice to budget cleanly.
Skip the table and ask admissions directly when the child needs support, will board, may join mid-year, or is eligible for sibling, scholarship or annual-payment concessions. Those details can move the real invoice materially and are not equivalent across schools.
As of 27 July 2026, Satit Udomseuksa, Darasamutr Sriracha, Maryvit Bowin, Maryvit Sattahip and Kids Avenue still publish no usable public tuition tariff. Assumption College Sriracha publishes only a partial Term 1/2569 charge notice rather than a full annual table.
Not automatically. Entry charges vary sharply: Rugby and Highgate both publish a ฿200,000 non-refundable entry fee, while some cheaper schools still add registration, insurance, books, meals or supplementary charges that change the first-year total materially.
Because the public sources are not equivalent. Some schools leave the academic year off the fee page, some publish monthly or term figures only, and Assumption College Sriracha currently publishes only a partial Term 1 notice. The table keeps those limitations visible instead of forcing a false comparison.
Ask admissions for a written, grade-specific first-year quotation listing tuition, application, entry, deposit, meals, transport, books, uniforms, exams, support fees and refund terms. The table is for screening and shortlisting, not for replacing the signed invoice.
