French-curriculum international schools in Thailand deliver the French national programme - often operating under an AEFE convention or the Mission laïque française framework - and usually prepare pupils for the Diplôme National du Brevet and the Baccalauréat. They are concentrated in Bangkok and in several regional centres (for example Koh Samui and Phuket), and some groups now run newer campuses in Chiang Mai; many schools offer bilingual or dual-pathway options that combine French instruction with strong English teaching and regular Thai language lessons. Published annual tuition for French-pathway schools in Thailand varies by provider but typically falls in a broad band from roughly THB 150,000 to THB 500,000 per year, with differences according to school status, nationality bands and extra mandatory costs such as boarding, transport or canteen fees. Admissions follow the international-school rhythm with main intake ahead of the northern-hemisphere school year, common use of assessments and waiting lists, and families should plan to enquire several months before a planned start date.
