Brighton College Vibhavadi opened in August 2025 as the second Bangkok campus of the Brighton College brand, taking over and transforming the former St. Stephen's School site on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road in Chatuchak. It is the newer of the two Brighton campuses and the better-connected by public transport: Mo Chit BTS, Chatuchak MRT, and the Dark Red Line commuter rail are all nearby, and the campus is 15 minutes from Don Mueang Airport and 20 minutes from central Bangkok.

Around 550 students at opening, running the full British curriculum from Pre-Nursery through to Year 13 (ages 2 to 18), with Cambridge IGCSE and 21 A-Level subjects at senior level. Facilities are purpose-built and strong: a 400-seat theatre, rooftop swimming pool, and modern sports and arts spaces.

The founding Head Master is Crispian Waterman, with over 20 years of international education experience. The school shares the same Brighton College UK lineage, values, and academic culture as the Krungthep Kreetha campus, and is being built as a distinct community in its own right rather than a satellite.

Fees run from 590,300 to 1,021,800 THB annually, with a 200,000 THB admission fee and a 150,000 THB refundable deposit on entry. For families living in northern Bangkok, Chatuchak, Lat Phrao, or near Don Mueang, this is the more practical Brighton option. The school is in its founding phase: a small, forming community with a clear academic direction and the backing of one of the UK's most recognised school brands.

What You Should Actually Know About Brighton College Bangkok (Vibhavadi)

Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi opened in August 2025 as the second Thai campus of the Brighton College family, with a direct line back to Brighton College in England, founded in 1845.

The campus occupies the refurbished former St. Stephen's International School site on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, with over 1.4 billion baht invested in the rebuild. The school runs a British curriculum from Pre-Nursery at age two through to Year 13, with IGCSEs in Years 10 to 11 and A Levels in the Sixth Form. It is co-educational, secular, and day-only, with no boarding offered on the Bangkok side of the group.

Pupils are placed into a House on arrival, mirroring the pastoral structure of the UK school, and the brand motto of Curiosity, Confidence and Kindness runs through the published character and behaviour materials.

Facilities reflect the scale of a recent build: a rooftop 25-metre, eight-lane swimming pool, a double-height sports hall with two full-size basketball courts, a 100-metre running track on the all-weather field, a 370-seat theatre, science laboratories with attached prep rooms, a robotics and design technology suite, and separate Prep and Senior libraries. Younger pupils get a purpose-built Early Learning Village with mud kitchens and outdoor play, while Sixth Formers have a dedicated Learning Centre. Languages run beyond English: Thai and Mandarin appear from Prep, with French and Spanish added in Years 5 and 6.

Distinctive academic threads include a Year 12 Entrepreneurship Challenge, taught Presentation Skills at KS3, and a Story of Our Land humanities course in Years 7 and 8 that puts Thai history and geography at the centre of the timetable. Because the campus is in its first year of operation, there are no Brighton Vibhavadi IGCSE or A Level results yet, and the published results page references the sister Krungthep Kreetha campus as a benchmark. Student numbers, class sizes, and the Thai-to-foreign ratio have not yet been disclosed.

The Vibhavadi Rangsit corridor sits in Chatuchak, fifteen minutes from Don Mueang Airport and around twenty minutes from central Bangkok by car, with Mo Chit BTS, Chatuchak Park MRT, and Wat Samian Nari SRT Red Line within reach; rush-hour traffic on Vibhavadi itself can be heavy. Fees sit in the upper-middle band for British schools in Bangkok. Best for families based north of the city centre who want a new British campus with a serious Thai cultural strand and a clear group link to the UK school.
