Picture of Rupert Gedde By  Rupert Gedde  ·  1 minute read

If you're planning a move to Thailand and looking at international schools, you're probably wondering:

“What’s the best site to compare schools in Bangkok, Phuket, or Chiang Mai?”

There are a few well-known school directories — but many rely on paid placements, sponsored rankings, or editorial partnerships. That means families often see schools based on advertising, not fit.

This post compares doris to other platforms and shows why families looking for transparency, personalisation, and impartiality are choosing doris.
