Daniel International School (DIS) sits at 99/1 Ban Bo Chalok, Moo 4, Thung Kong in Kanchanadit District, on the Tapi River outside Surat Thani's city centre, and opened on 7 August 2023 -- making it the newest of the city's three international schools. DIS was founded by a Hong Kong educator couple who came to Thailand originally as Chinese teachers in local schools, and set out to build a quality, internationally standard school rooted in Christian values. The school follows a custom curriculum drawing on American, British, Australian, Chinese and Thai standards, with Mandarin, Thai Language & Culture and religion taught as separate classes from the main English-medium instruction. DIS is the only Surat Thani international school with a fully published, grade-by-grade fee schedule, and offers a STEAM-rich environment with robotics, coding, design and performance labs. It served Nursery through Grade 9 as of the 2025-26 year, having just expanded into a High School track, with Advanced Placement preparation planned for Grades 11-12. BAANLYY is not affiliated with DIS and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the school.
DIS suits families who want fee transparency before committing to a relocation, a STEAM-focused curriculum with robotics and design labs, and an explicitly Christian-values school environment, and who are comfortable with a Kanchanadit District, riverside location outside the main city centre. Because DIS only opened in 2023 and is actively expanding into High School, families with older teenagers should confirm current grade-level availability and AP timeline directly. Families wanting an established, PYP-track school closer to the city centre instead often consider Suratthani International School (STIS); families wanting a Cambridge/IGCSE track consider Balance International School (BISS).
DIS sits at 99/1 Ban Bo Chalok, Moo 4, Thung Kong in Kanchanadit District, on the Tapi River, outside Surat Thani's main city centre. Surat Thani has no rail-transit network, so most families drive, use a school transport service or a ride-hailing app; confirm current transport arrangements directly with the school, especially given the more rural, riverside location.
