(Photo dbsbangkok.ac.th)Thailand has the potential to become a regional hub for education particularly among students from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam because of its comparatively low tuition fees and high-quality international schools, according to education experts. "Thailand is a friendly place, is centrally located and easily accessible, and has a variety of curricula on offer -- potentially making Thailand a hub for international education," he said. "China, Myanmar and Laos are big markets for Thai institutions because these countries still lack quality international schools. "Thailand now has more than 170 international schools nationwide, the highest number in Southeast Asia," he said. Earlier, Laureate Thailand CEO Gilles Mahe said a survey conducted by his company found 60% of students in Thailand want to study on international programmes.
