Why Choose to Study at a Boarding School in Thailand?

Boarding schools in Thailand are popular for students who desire a challenging academic environment. These institutions have extensive campuses with exceptional learning spaces, performance theaters, and sports facilities. The quality of the built environment in these schools is comparable to some of the most elite institutions in the world. With an average class size of 12, teachers can provide personalized instruction, and students are encouraged to participate actively in their education. The teachers live on campus, so extra assistance is available after school hours.

Thailand is located in Southeast Asia, with a population of around 70 million. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Thai nation is that it has never been colonized by any foreign power, which is quite unusual in Southeast Asia. The country's culture is fascinating, as various Asian cultures, including Indian, Lao, Burmese, Cambodian, and Chinese cultures, have shaped it. This cultural diversity is evident in Thailand's cuisine, architecture, arts, and festivals.

Thailand's economy is considered an emerging market and has recently become a newly industrialized country. This means that its economy is moving from being based on agriculture to manufacturing and services. The country's economy is export-oriented and has a diverse range of industries, including electronics, automobiles, textiles, and tourism.

Thailand is divided into regions with distinct historical backgrounds, cultures, languages, and populaces. These regions are Central Thailand, Northern Thailand, Northeastern Thailand, Southern Thailand, and Eastern Thailand. Each area has unique customs, traditions, and dialects worth exploring.

Theravada Buddhism is the most prevalent religion in Thailand and plays an integral role in Thai identity and culture. Buddhism was introduced to Thailand over 2,000 years ago and has been the dominant religion ever since. The Thai people have integrated Buddhism into their daily lives, from their customs and beliefs to architecture and art. It is worth noting that 94.6% of the population identifies as Theravada Buddhists, and active participation in Buddhism is among the highest in the world.

In summary, Thailand is a fascinating country with a rich culture, diverse economy, and unique geography. Its people are friendly, welcoming, and proud of their heritage.
