In Thailand are a growing number of Montessori schools and organizations. The first Montessori Schools since 1995 have been founded in Phuket by Willem van Benthum, founder of the Rawai Progressive International Montessori School in Phuket (1996), in Pattaya Naklua and by parents in Chiang Mai (Piti Suksa School in 1998). But the history of Alternative education in Thailand and the influence of Maria Montessori to several (mostly private schools) might date back to much earlier years.

Montessori Homeschool Centers, Groups, and Families (Official Registered Thai Homeschooling)

The Thai homeschool year starts in January and ends in November. December is considered a holiday. A half-term break can be chosen freely. All Thai National Tests (O-Net) are optional for homeschoolers. Thai parents need to register their children to be legally able to homeschool their children with the provincial primary or secondary Education office. In some provinces the secondary Education office is located in another province (i.e. Phuket Secondary students need to be registered in Phang Nga Secondary Education Office while Elementary students can be registered with the Phuket Primary Education Office). Additional they need a Homeschool "Leader" with at least Secondary Grade Final Exam (Mathayom 6). The Thai Government is supporting homeschool families financially per school-term. Foreigners can not lead a Homeschool while they are able to teach Homeschool students.
