imperial Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi My regular GF is giving me the squuze to pay for her sisters school books, and I can see it coming later her school fees, Any guess how much these are in BKK ? Yeah I should have more info, but I don't yet so lets say a middle grade UNI not the top schools, I know when I was in school in the 70s that book were expensive for the little money I had, I do not mind helping, just want to compare what you guys think the cost is and what I get hit up for, If they are close I will pay, but if I get a crazy high cost, well she can wait till next semester.... And are there 2 or 3 semesters in a Thai Uni year ? Thanks for your advise BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi, The kid here will be paying fees for Ramkhamhaeng Uni this afternoon. IIRC, he has to pay: term fee 1,750 Baht belt & pin 100 Baht insurance 200 Baht (or 100, forgot) something else Total amount was 2,250 Baht I believe. Sanuk!

cavanami Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Neighbor's daughter across the way was paying in the 100'sK baht per semester. The neighbor was squeezing her BF until he had enough and is now out of the scene. Now sure the Uni the gal attends but seems like I heard 300,000 Baht a semester and the gal was living at home, commuting daily to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi, Yes, those figures don't surprise me at all. I can well believe the top Unis charge those kinds of fees. Most definitely NOT in line with the quality of the education though if you ask me. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
