In recent years, the number of families choosing to accompany their children to international schools in Thailand has shown 

a significant upward trend. Thailand, with its unique educational resources and living advantages, 

attracts many parents to make new choices for their children's educational paths.

The advantages of accompanying study

Deeply participate in children's growth

In Thailand, parents can deeply participate in their children's growth process by accompanying their children in their studies, 

which is a precious experience that is difficult to achieve in the domestic educational environment. Take the international schools

 in Bangkok as an example. The schools often organize various international cultural exchange activities. Parents can participate 

with their children to jointly experience the intellectual collisions brought about by the integration of diverse cultures.

High-quality educational environment

In an all-English or multilingual teaching environment, children gradually develop a global perspective. 

Not only can their English proficiency improve rapidly, but they can also be exposed to the cultures, histories and values of different countries.

The cost of living is low and resources are abundant

The relatively low cost of living in Thailand has also become an important factor attracting families accompanying their children. 

Take Chiang Mai as an example. Renting a warm and comfortable two-bedroom apartment may only cost around 

10,000 Thai baht (approximately 2,000 RMB) per month, and the monthly dining expenses for a family of three can also

 be controlled within a reasonable range. Moreover, places like Chiang Mai and Bangkok are rich in living resources 

and have pleasant climates. They are warm and spring-like all year round. Various shopping malls, supermarkets and 

night markets can fully meet the daily life and leisure and entertainment needs, making the life of families accompanying their children comfortable and pleasant.

The challenges faced by accompanying students in study

Language communication disorder

The path of accompanying children in their studies is not always smooth sailing, and parents often have to face many challenges.

 Language barriers are the first to be affected. Many parents, although they learn English in advance to accompany their children in school, 

still encounter obstacles when communicating with the school, attending parent-teacher meetings, or interacting with local vendors in daily life due to language barriers.

The cultural differences are obvious.

Cultural differences should not be ignored either. From social etiquette to educational concepts, there are significant differences compared

 with those in China. For instance, when Thais meet, they perform the "clasping ceremony", which is quite different from the handshake

 ceremony in China. In terms of education, international schools in Thailand place greater emphasis on the individualized development 

and creativity cultivation of children, which is significantly different from the traditional education model in China. Both parents and children need time to gradually adapt.

Personal development is limited

Furthermore, long-term accompaniment to study means that parents need to temporarily set aside their domestic work and social circles,

 which may lead to the stagnation of personal career development and a gradual narrowing of social circles. Some parents may even feel lonely and  Anxiety.

Suggestions for the preparatory work of accompanying study

If you are planning to go to Thailand to accompany your studies, there are many preparatory works that are of vital importance.

Understand the school and the local situation

First of all, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the admission policies of the target school in advance,

 including the admission requirements, interview procedures, required materials, etc., to ensure that the child can be admitted smoothly. 

At the same time, a comprehensive understanding of the local living environment, customs and habits, price levels, etc. should also be gained so as to plan life in advance.

Improve language ability

In terms of language, parents can take the initiative to learn basic Thai and English, master some commonly used daily 

expressions and education-related vocabulary. This not only facilitates daily communication but also helps to communicate better with the school.

Actively integrate into local life

Actively participating in activities organized by schools and communities is also an effective way to integrate into local life. 

Through these activities, one can not only expand their social circle and make friends with like-minded people, 

but also create a favorable growth atmosphere for children.
