The Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School (Thai: โรงเรียนเตรียมทหาร) is a Thai military academy, providing an education equivalent to the last three years of senior high school (years 10-12). It is under the command of the Education Department of the Thailand Supreme Command Headquarters. Graduates typically enter the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy, the Royal Thai Naval Academy, the Royal Thai Air Force Academy and the Royal Thai Police Academy.

History

The Thai Ministry of Defense established the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School on 27 January 1958 by consolidating the preparatory schools of the Royal Thai Army, Navy, and Air Force. It was formerly located next to Lumphini Park in Bangkok (the current site of the Suan Lum Night Bazaar)

Precadets

The School only accepts male applicants. Entrance is highly competitive.

The School has a reputation of producing close life-long bonds between precadets of each class. Rivalries between class alumni are common, especially in the promotion process.[1][2]
