I have around 20 friends that are or have been teachers in Thailand over the last 20 years, in schools ranging from full international (with the cartel type rates) to local schools and none of them rate any of the schools at even close to Australian/British standards. I have 2 young kids, and several of the teachers advised me to leave them in a local Thai schools up to the start of high school (year 7) and then return to our home country, which is what I will do.
The simple fact is that the only expats that can afford international schools in Thailand are those working for huge corporates that pay for the school fees.
Yes, the other option of sending your kids to be brainwashed by a bible bashing international school is more abhorrant than forking out 500-700k a year for an 'education'.

Thankyou!
Here in the Kingdom of Illusions it is rare to find the pertinent facts laid out so plainly as above:
Usually it's what they (e.g. vested interests) DON'T say that is most important.
As the Dean of my Faculty at NIDA, Bangkapi opined over Xmas Party drinks to us (myself the only farang): "We have to accept that the formal education system (here in Thailand) is hopeless."
Twelve years later little has changed - except that I would describe the informal education sector as being dominated by lying, cheating, money-grubbing ignoramuses who ruthlessly exploit their captive market and who usually manage to find unscrupulous foreigners to do their dirty work.
Bottom Line: Money first, daylight second.
