The Directory of all Schools and Colleges in Bangkok is a new project managed by Bangkok Library. Although currently unchecked and incomplete – we are certain that it contains some omissions and spelling/translation errors – it is the start of a potentially very useful database for all school teachers, schools, students and their parents.

You might like to note that we have a directory of international schools in Thailand.

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

We are slowly adding pages for each school including contact and other details. If you are a school teacher, parent, or student and would like to comment on a school, please post your comment on the school page (not here). If no relevant school page exists, please post the school details in a comment at the bottom of this page or use the contact form, and we’ll add a new school.

These details are required:

  • School name in English (and Thai, if available)
  • Street address
  • District name
  • Postcode

These details are optional:

  • School website address
  • Approximate number of students
  • Approximate number of Thai / foreign staff
  • School type (e.g. pratom, mattayom, international, etc.)

Please remember, this directory is for schools in Bangkok only.

Please post a comment on this page if you would like to suggest a correction/update or want to get involved in maintaining this school directory. Continue reading »

The 1894 Directory for Bangkok and Siam

by Bangkok Times White Lotus, Bangkok, 1996, repr. from 1894; 202 pp., 15 x 21 cm., softcover. 360 grams.
ISBN: 9789748496771

Price: 550 Baht

This directory was published by the semi-official Bangkok Times newspaper. According to its own glowing title page it was “a handy and reliable book of reference for all classes, with a calendar and every information about weights and measures, Siamese festivals, postage and telegraph tariffs, notes on the ancient and modern history of Siam, and including official and general directories.” The wide coverage of information that is elsewhere unavailable or hard to find, not least that on businesses operating at the time, makes this directory an effective research tool. The directory is also a treasure trove for general readers interested in the daily life and in the official and foreign personalities, important or otherwise, of this crucial period of King Chulalongkorn’s Reign.
