The ranking holds 2 schools with an international accreditation or an authorised programme. The British Cambridge route, IGCSE and A-Level, at 2. A year of school costs from $7 172 to $13 210. A swimming pool on site is confirmed at 1.
We do not take reviews from maps and directories: their terms forbid it, and nobody checks the quality there. Everything below comes from the official registers of the accrediting organisations and from the schools' own sites, and every fact carries its source and the date of the check.

Figures are converted to dollars at a weekly rate; schools publish their fees in their own currency. One-off charges, meals, transport and uniform are not included unless the school says otherwise. Fees for schools in Ko Pkhangan are taken from published price lists, not from what third parties say.
All 2 schools in the ranking are private. We have not yet found a state school in Ko Pkhangan with an international accreditation. The type of school does not affect the score: private and state schools sit in one list and are scored by the same formula, and only verifiable data moves the number.
The British Cambridge programme - IGCSE and A-Level - is taught at 2 schools in Ko Pkhangan: Si Ri Panya International School, International School of Pha Ngan (ISPG).
A facility counts only when the school names it outright on its own site: a modern campus is not a swimming pool. Swimming pool: 1 school · School transport: 1 school.
Comparing schools on a single feature is useless: the most expensive is not the best, and a famous name says nothing about what is backed by documents. The score is therefore built from nine criteria with different weights - from academic programmes and accreditation to facilities, clubs and fees relative to other schools in the country.
A criterion counts towards the score only when there is verifiable data behind it. That is why every score says how many of the nine criteria were counted: at schools in Ko Pkhangan that is 7 out of 9 on average. A school with a detailed site and a school with no site cannot earn an equally reliable score, and that is shown rather than hidden.
Ratings and reviews from Google Maps, Yandex Maps and 2GIS are not used: their terms forbid aggregation. Only verified reviews left here count. Full methodology →

A criterion counts only when there is data behind it that can be checked, so every score says how many of the nine were counted. Right now that is 7 out of 9 on average.
