Worldschooling in Thailand

Resources, tips and stories about worldschooling in Thailand for digital nomad families.

Thailand is a worldschooling hotspot

The northern city of Chiang Mai has been a favorite with worldschooling families for a while now. Expats and digital nomads have been going to Chiang Mai for years, it was inevitable that it would also become a worldschooling hub. Other cities like Bangkok and the island and Koh Tao are great destinations for full travel families of all kinds.

Chiang Mai in the mountains. Bangkok for city life. Koh Tao for the island experience. Also the food is amazing.

Staying in Thailand for a long period of time depends on what kind of passport you have. You can also do numerous visa runs before immigration officers crack down on your movements.

Our Thailand worldschooling Experience

We arrived in Thailand in May of 2012. We were three months pregnant and with a 1 year old and 13 year old. Our daughter was born in Bangkok and we stayed for ten months in a flat on Sukhumvit 23. During the next 6 years, we went back to Bangkok all the time. Our last stretch lasted 8 months and we really feel like Bangkok is home! We also lived in Phuket for two years, where we started calling ourselves worldschoolers.

You can read some of our stories in the blog section below. There are lots of stories about Thailand and lots more coming soon.
