Thai Sikh International School

Thai Sikh International School (TSIS) is an international school in Samrong, Mueang Samut Prakan District, Samut Prakan Province, Thailand in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area.[1] The school is partially funded by the Thai Sikh Foundation in Pahurat, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok. Because it is a voluntary aided school, as of 2004, it charges school tuition rates that are among the lowest in Thailand.[2]

The school has two branches, one located at Samut Prakan in the outskirts of Bangkok and the other in Bang Na. One is a seniors' campus and the other is a juniors' campus.

The school has facilities such as a swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts as well as a 400-metre running track around a football field.

As of 2004, there are about 400 students. Most of the students are of Indian descent. About half of the students are Sikhs, while other students follow other religions, including Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity.[2]

Facilities

The main campus is located in the eastern edge of the Mueang Samut Prakan District. The school site is of over 30 rai. The campus includes an administrative block, an air-conditioned assembly and prayer hall, art centre, computer laboratories, a language centre, a music centre, science laboratories, a swimming pool, and hostels for the girls and the boys. As of 2004, the school plans to establish a gymnasium and an auditorium. The complex has three blocks for the elementary, middle, and high school levels. K[3]

In August 2004, the junior school moved from Pahurat to a new facility along Prachadhipok Road in the Rama 9 area.[2]
