Dulwich College Bangkok formally opens its Bang Na campus three months into its first year

Education in Motion formally opened Dulwich College Bangkok at its 40-rai (6.4-hectare) campus in Bang Na on 5 November 2026. Thailand's deputy education minister, Akharanan Kanakittinan, and former prime minister Anand Panyarachun, an old boy of Dulwich College in London, attended the ceremony.

The British school has been teaching since August 2026. Its first intake was about 200 pupils, from Nursery to Year 7, and the school aims for an even split of Thai and foreign families. The first phase has room for 1,000 pupils.

Years and fees

Years 8, 9 and 10 are due to open in 2027. The school will grow year by year to Year 13, where pupils will choose between A levels and the IB Diploma. Headmaster Thomas Banyard has said the campus should hold more than 1,100 pupils once every phase is open.

Tuition for 2026/27, paid over three terms:

Year group	Baht a year
Nursery	711,100
Reception	743,200
Years 1 and 2	866,300
Years 3 to 6	895,300
Years 7 to 9	988,500
Years 10 and 11	1,055,700
Years 12 and 13	1,107,500

The school teaches the English National Curriculum, with Thai and Mandarin. The group is seeking LEED Gold and WELL Gold certification for the campus, which has solar panels, its own wastewater treatment and PM2.5 air monitoring.

The ceremony

Guests watered a young tree of a native species in place of cutting a ribbon.

"Children learn best in an environment that is good for them and good for this planet," said Fraser White, founder and chairman of Education in Motion.

Banyard said putting students first was the centre of the school's work "every day".

Khanakorn Watthanawekin, a director of Sakol Architect, the Thai partner on the campus, said the aim was for Bangkok families to have such a school close to home.

Bang Na

The school opens in a district already served by Bangkok Patana School, Thailand's first British international school. Patana teaches 2,340 pupils aged 2 to 18 on one Bang Na campus and charges all-in fees between US$16,300 and US$31,200 a year in 2026/27. It is a not-for-profit owned by a foundation; Dulwich Bangkok belongs to a commercial group that runs Dulwich schools in China, Singapore and South Korea.

Banyard told Positioning in October that the brand and its teaching model would give families another option in what he called a highly competitive market. More schools in the city are listed on the Bangkok page.
