A published fee is not what you pay
13 courses here, across 2 universities, carry a sourced note about a cost the headline figure does not include — a compulsory contribution, an income-tested scale, an annual increase that applies from year two, a rule about who qualifies. The most widely shared of them:

What it costs
Annual international tuition, converted to US dollars so the two ends compare. The published figure in its own currency is the authoritative one.
What it costs to live

How Thailand compares with other countries
Ranked against every other country on StudyPath. Countries charge in different currencies, so these figures are converted to US dollars and are approximate; the published figure, in its own currency, is on each university's page.

| Lowest international tuition you would paya year, cheapest course that charges anything | ~US$2,000at MFU | 18th lowest of 64 countries | ~US$207 (France) to ~US$27,300 (Hong Kong) |
| Tuition-free degrees we listpublished at zero for international students | None | 7 countries have some | 931 in Germany at most |

Converted to US dollars at the site's exchange rates of 13 Sept 2026. A fee or rent published per term, month or week is scaled to a year, and housing is counted for twelve months of holding the room. The living-cost figure is what an immigration authority requires a student visa applicant to show, taken as a year; the UK's, for example, covers at most nine months, so this overstates it. See student finance for each country's exact wording.

Ranked universities first, then the rest by how many courses they publish. Unranked never means worse — it means QS has not measured it.
