Here’s why the Bangkok Education & Lifestyle Fair should be on your calendar
Choosing the right school is one of the biggest decisions parents will make, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Whether you’re relocating to Thailand, already living in Bangkok or simply planning your child’s next educational journey, the Bangkok Education & Lifestyle Fair is designed to make the process easier.
Taking place on 19 September at Avani Ratchada Bangkok Hotel, the free event brings together leading international schools, education providers and family lifestyle brands.
It’s your opportunity to compare curricula, meet admissions teams, ask questions directly and discover services that support family life in Bangkok.
Here are 10 reasons why it’s worth adding to your calendar.
10 Reasons Why You Should Attend the Bangkok Education & Lifestyle Fair
1. Meet leading international schools in one place
Instead of visiting multiple campuses across the city, you’ll have the opportunity to speak directly with admissions teams from a wide range of international schools in Bangkok – all in a single day.
2. Compare different curricula
Not sure whether the British, American, International Baccalaureate (IB) or bilingual curriculum is the best fit for your child? The Bangkok Education & Lifestyle Fair makes it easy to compare educational approaches and understand what sets each international school in Bangkok apart.
3. Get your questions answered by the experts
Every family’s priorities are different. Whether you’re curious about admissions, waiting lists, tuition fees, scholarships or student support, you’ll be able to speak with international schools in Bangkok representatives face to face.
4. Discover more than just international schools in Bangkok
The event isn’t only about education. You’ll also find enrichment providers, sports academies, music schools, healthcare services, children’s activity programmes and family lifestyle brands that support everyday life in Bangkok.
5. Save weeks of research
Researching schools online can be time-consuming, and brochures don’t always tell the full story. By bringing everything together under one roof, the Bangkok Education & Lifestyle Fair helps families compare options more efficiently and make informed decisions.
6. Explore family life in Bangkok
For families considering a move to Thailand, the fair offers valuable insights into what it’s like to live in Bangkok, from extracurricular activities and healthcare to family-friendly services and community resources.
7. Connect with education professionals
Meeting admissions teams in person gives you the opportunity to learn about each international school’s culture, teaching philosophy and student experience. These are insights that are often difficult to gain from a website alone
8. Plan your child’s educational journey
Whether you’re looking for nursery, primary or secondary education, the fair allows you to explore different pathways and start planning for the future with confidence.
9. Admission is completely free
Families can attend the Bangkok Education & Lifestyle Fair free of charge with advance registration, making it an accessible event for anyone exploring education options in Bangkok.
10. Everything you need in one day
From comparing international schools and discovering family services to speaking with experts and gathering practical advice, the Bangkok Education & Lifestyle Fair brings everything together in one place. Better yet, the event takes place at Avani Ratchada Bangkok Hotel, conveniently located just a short walk from MRT Phra Ram 9. So, it’s easy to get to from across Bangkok.
