Higher education is English-medium; Duolingo English Test often waived where prior study was in English — confirm per university. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Botswana — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.

We have not yet verified Thailand-specific DET figures, so this corridor is honest general guidance and is not yet indexed. Confirm the requirement on the official page.
