On the everything else part.

I’m going to send my partners daughter to university. Maybe to study something medical. Has anyone done this ? If so what does it cost here?

Thanks 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
The cost of attending university in Thailand varies significantly based on the type of institution. Public university tuition can range from 10,000 to 40,000 THB per year for Thai students and 30,000 to 150,000 THB for international students. Private university tuition usually ranges from 60,000 to 200,000 THB per year, with specialized programs potentially costing more. International programs may have fees from 100,000 to 300,000 THB yearly. Additional expenses for living, books, and materials can amount to 50,000 to 150,000 THB annually.

I did it a decade ago about 39 K USD for school and parents paid housing and food

and the young lady now works in Australia. She paid her brother tuition to unverusty, and takes cares of her parents. Money well spent BTW I married into the family 50 years ago when I was dirt poor happy I can now assist.

Ask the university is the obvious thing to do.. Rather than random guesses from people

she is really intelligent she did a social studies test earlier this year where 252 students (top 2 from schools all over Thailand) and she came second. She has been 1st or second in her school each year. She still is @ 16 a sweet Thai girl. Unlike what you see a lot.

Maybe ฿10K-฿15K per term. Plus uniforms, housing and living expenses

@John *******
that won't do it. Between 25K and 50K thai baht per term for tuition at the lower end.

@Mikkel ******
Says who? Unless you're looking at the top 3 in the country, most programs are sub 15k a semester.
Mikkel *******
Then plus housing etc
