Why expat families choose to live in Thailand
Please note that these are just a few reasons, and individual preferences may vary.
Quality of life
Thailand, the ‘Land of Smiles’ is a welcoming, vibrant, safe and stable country in South East Asia. Thailand is home for more 200,000 expatriates from all over the world, with many staying in the country for more than 5 years. They are attracted by Thailand’s outstanding quality of life, amazing travel opportunities and tropical climate.
Environment and Climate
The country’s rapid modernization, developing infrastructure, beautiful landscapes and coastlines, all combine to make schooling in Thailand an attractive option for international families. Expats are drawn to Thailand’s warm climate and relaxed lifestyle. The country offers a range of opportunities for travel, outdoor activities, and a high quality of life. The warm tropical climate enables international school students to take full advantage of the many outdoor activities and enrichment opportunities that are offered as part of the wider curriculum at International Schools in Thailand.
Friendly people and amazing food
Thai people are known for their friendliness and hospitality, making expat families feel welcome. Additionally, Thailand’s cuisine is renowned worldwide, offering a diverse range of delicious dishes.
The Gateway to Asia and beyond
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport is the largest regional airport in South East Asia, in terms of the number of destinations flown to, by its vast array of international airline carriers. This ‘travel gateway’ ensures that students from all across the world can easily travel to and from Bangkok to attend International Boarding Schools.
Outstanding facilities and campus
Both international schools and Boarding Schools in Thailand have large, open campuses with outstanding learning spaces, performance theatres and sports facilities. The quality of the built environment of these boarding schools is comparable to the very best boarding schools from around the world.
Cost
The relatively low cost of international school education in Thailand, given the current global economic climate, allows schools to remain strong competitors in the international boarding school market. For example, the cost of sending a child to a UK linked Boarding School in Thailand can be more than half the price of sending a child to its ‘sister’ school in the UK.
Expat community and support
Thailand has a large established expat community, providing a network of support and resources for expat families. This can help ease the transition and provide a sense of belonging.
