About international schools in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Chiang Mai attracts families who want a different Thailand from Bangkok — cooler mountain weather, a laid-back creative culture, and a cost of living that makes international schooling genuinely affordable. The city has a tight-knit expat community centred around the old city and Nimman areas. Schools like Prem Tinsulanonda and CMIS have strong reputations, and tuition can start as low as THB 180,000 per year. Many digital nomad and remote-working families have chosen Chiang Mai specifically for this combination of quality schooling and low costs.
