Embark Estate's schools and neighbourhoods guide is a reference for families moving to central Bangkok, matching 18 international schools to the seven central areas where Embark advises, with distances measured on OpenStreetMap and fees taken from each school's own 2026/27 schedule, all checked on 22 October 2026.
The school decides the address, so the guide starts with the school. For each area it names the schools within reach, by road and by rail, and the buildings Embark covers there. It ranks no school: schools appear in alphabetical order.

Area by area: the schools within reach, and the buildings we cover
Road distance in km, the straight line in brackets, measured on OpenStreetMap on 22 October 2026. A distance is not a journey time, and this guide gives no times.
How the distances were measured
Road distance is the length of the driving route from the station or building named to the campus, in the morning direction, calculated by OSRM (Open Source Routing Machine) on OpenStreetMap road data. It ignores traffic.
Bangkok's one-way systems and U-turns can make the road distance two to three times the straight line. Wells' Thonglor kindergarten is 0.4 km from Thonglor BTS in a straight line and 1.4 km by road.
Rail stops are counted from the published station order of the BTS Sukhumvit line, the BTS Silom line and the MRT Blue Line.
Some campuses could not be placed precisely on the map, so they carry no road distance: KIS (both campuses), Dulwich, Wells Bang Na, Anglo Singapore Campus 64 and St Andrews' primary campus on Sukhumvit 71.
Lumphini park-axis: Chidlom, Ploenchit, Langsuan, Ratchadamri and Sarasin

Every figure changes each school year, normally announced in the spring. Check the school's current schedule before budgeting.
How families usually choose
1 · The school place
One-off fees are large: Bangkok Patana's entrance fee is THB 250,000 for a first child, marked non-refundable. Confirm the place before a lease or a reservation.
2 · The whole school career
Shrewsbury's City Campus ends at age 11, St. Andrews Sathorn at Year 6, and Dulwich runs to Year 7 in 2026/27. The school run can change a few years in.
3 · The line the school uses
NIST: Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT. Patana and St. Andrews Sukhumvit 107: Bearing. Shrewsbury Riverside: Saphan Taksin. St Andrews High School: Ekkamai. KIS: Thailand Cultural Centre MRT.
4 · The morning direction
One-way systems change the road distance. Measure from the actual building, in the direction you travel to school.
5 · The bus zone
Patana prices its round-trip bus from THB 80,100 to 120,800 a year by zone. Harrow and ISB use Montri. St. Andrews Sathorn runs a door-to-door bus; Dulwich runs none at present.
6 · Then the building
Many families rent for the first school year and buy once the route is proven. Embark advises on rental and sale in the buildings above.
Tell us the school, the campus and the year group. We measure the route from each building on your shortlist to the campus, in the direction you will travel, and send what is available to rent and to buy.
