Thai-Japanese Association School

The Thai Japanese School of Bangkok (Japanese: 泰日協会学校 Tai-hi Kyōkai Gakkō or the バンコク日本人学 Bankoku Nihonjin Gakkō, Thai: โรงเรียนสมาคมไทย-ญี่ปุ่น) is a Japanese school located in Huai Khwang District, Bangkok on Rama 9 Road. It is sponsored by the Thai-Japanese Association.[1] It is the school with the largest campus in Bangkok, and one of the two Japanese schools in Bangkok. It allows students from junior school Grade 1 (equivalent to the U.S. 1st grade) students to middle school Grade 3 (equivalent to the U.S. 9th grade) students to learn. The school only allows students with a Japanese nationality to study.

At one time the Japanese school, previously in the central city, moved to a suburban area. This caused a reduction in the Japanese children's interactions with Thai society because the children began to spend a large amount of time on school buses.[2]
