Case sharing: Study abroad planning in Thailand for two children from an entrepreneur family based in Guangzhou

The two siblings previously attended an international school in Guangzhou with solid academic foundations. The parents had clear education goals, avoided blind school selection, and maintained excellent communication throughout the whole process. From initial consultation to receiving official offers, the whole journey was completed smoothly within just one month ✅

Student Profile

▪ Elder son: 14 years old ▪ Younger son: 12 years old ▪ Nationality: Chinese ▪ Former school: Local international school in Guangzhou ▪ Outgoing personalities with consistent excellent academic performance

Motivation for Overseas Education

The parents run their own enterprise in Guangzhou with solid financial capacity. Both boys achieved good results at their domestic international school. The family set their sights on Thailand with a clear objective — using it as an educational springboard. Whether they aim to pursue further studies in the UK and US or stay in Thailand long-term, this route opens up more options for their future.

Family Requirements

▪ Elder son: Target top-tier international schools in Bangkok to strengthen his academic profile ▪ Younger son: Secure admission to a reputable school matching his current academic level for a smooth transition to overseas learning ▪ Non-negotiable school selection criteria: • Curriculum aligns with long-term education plans • Strong academic reputation and proven teaching quality • City-centre campus with complete daily amenities • Two schools located within close proximity to ease parents’ accompanying and commuting arrangements

Targeted School Screening & Matching

We conducted comprehensive school assessments and precise matching work. Based on the boys’ school transcripts, English proficiency and personalities, together with the family’s core requirements regarding curriculum, academic standards and location, we sorted through potential schools one by one. This allowed the family to build a clear school shortlist efficiently. Priority was given to selecting campuses within convenient commuting distance to reduce pressure for the accompanying family.

✅ Shortlisted reputable international schools KIS International School (two campuses), Prem Tinsulanonda International School, Harrow International School Bangkok, Regent’s International School Bangkok, Brighton College Bangkok, St. Andrews International School Bangkok 107 Campus

End-to-End Application Administration

Given the tight timeline for enrolment, our team compiled the latest admission policies, assessment schedules and vacancy updates for each school, tracking timelines closely to prevent missed application windows. Services included filling out application forms, sorting academic transcripts, coordinating reference letters and polishing personal statements. Our team supported the family through every stage.

Cost Breakdown & Decision Support

We systematically organised full annual expenditure details for each school, covering tuition fees and miscellaneous campus charges. We calculated total education costs according to the planned study duration, carried out horizontal comparisons on long-term cost-effectiveness, and provided transparent financial references to help the family align school choices with their budget planning.

✅ Timeline & Final Outcome ▪ Late May: One-on-one online consultation; consensus reached quickly with a custom school plan finalised ▪ Mid-June: Applications submitted and entrance assessments scheduled, all enrolment preparations underway ▪ Late June: Both boys gained admission and secured offers from target schools

Elder Son | KIS International School Huai Khwang Campus

The elder son delivered outstanding performance in entrance assessments and met all admission requirements. As one of Bangkok’s leading international schools, KIS boasts solid academic heritage, a complete curriculum framework, experienced teaching staff and abundant university counselling resources. It is ideal for high-achieving students like him aiming to pursue advanced academic challenges and will strongly support his future university applications.

Younger Son | Regent’s International School Bangkok

The younger son received offers from Regent’s International School Bangkok and St. Andrews International School Bangkok (107 Campus). After comprehensive comparison, the family opted for Regent’s. For one thing, the campus sits close to KIS where his elder brother studies. Having the two boys attend schools nearby significantly eases daily commuting for the family. Additionally, Regent’s holds a well-established academic reputation with a mature teaching system. Its conditions fully satisfy the family’s school selection expectations ✨
