Shinawatra University Hostel
SIU calls its on-campus housing dormitories. Here is what is documented about the hostel-style residence, older fee references, facilities and how to confirm a room.
Important: separate current facts from archived hostel information
SIU’s 2024–2028 development plan confirms that the campus has male and female dormitories. Detailed room features, prices, deposit terms and arrival services below come from an older SIU accommodation page summarized by a third-party guide using a February 14, 2025 archive. They are useful questions to ask, not a current booking confirmation. Contact the university for today’s rate sheet and room allocation.
Campus hostel
What is the SIU hostel like?
The official campus plan verifies dormitories for men and women, but it does not describe individual rooms. VNIS’s review of the archived SIU accommodation information describes separate five-storey buildings and the facilities below. Ask SIU which are currently open, included in the room rate and available to your student category.
Buildings and access
The old university page described separate five-storey buildings for men and women and 24-hour security. Confirm current access rules, visitor policy, security arrangements and any curfew.
Shared facilities
Reported facilities included washing machines, a self-service minimart, a gym, shared kitchens and a barbecue garden. Confirm operating hours, charges and whether all residents may use them.
Student support
The archive mentioned an infirmary at night and a weekend shuttle to shopping malls. Ask which service provider, hours, destinations and current schedules apply.
Meals
The official campus plan lists a canteen, but does not say hostel residents receive meals. Ask about meal plans, canteen opening times, dietary needs and kitchen access.
Safety and emergency
The SIU development plan discusses campus safety measures and drills. Ask housing staff about dorm-specific fire exits, emergency contacts and the building’s current procedures.
Reported room and building details are attributed to VNIS’s summary of the archived SIU accommodation page, dated February 14, 2025. They have not been independently confirmed as current facilities.
Fees and alternatives
SIU hostel fees and room options
There is no current SIU dorm price list we could verify. The historical university figures and a separate Pathum Thani apartment listing below are provided for comparison only. They use different currencies, dates and inclusions, so they are not directly equivalent.
| Stay option | Published price reference | Source and status | Confirm before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIU campus dormitory / hostel | About US$150/month furnished room; about US$35 utilities; US$12–14 internet | Historical SIU accommodation figures reproduced by VNIS from an archived page dated Feb 14, 2025. Not a current quote. | Today’s rate, room type, single/shared occupancy, bills, deposit, refund terms, booking and move-in dates. |
| Pakkadee Sena 2, Ban Klang, Mueang Pathum Thani | THB 3,000/month fan room; THB 3,500/month AC room; minimum six-month lease | Individual PathumDee rental listing. Its status is awaiting confirmation; it is not an SIU dorm and should not be assumed to be near campus. | Availability, exact route/time to campus, deposit, water/electricity, Wi-Fi, fees and contract directly with the landlord. |
| Other Pathum Thani rentals | Directory examples range across several districts and prices | ThaiApartment search results include Muang Pathum Thani, Lat Lum Kaeo, Khlong Luang and Thanyaburi. Results change over time. | Check exact address and transport; “Pathum Thani” does not necessarily mean close to SIU. |
Deposit and payment
VNIS’s archived-source summary says the dorm deposit was normally two or three months and refundable, and was paid at the dormitory office on arrival. Treat that as an old policy reference: ask SIU for the current amount, acceptable payment method, receipt and refund timeline before travel.
Compare full monthly cost
Ask whether rent includes water, electricity, internet, cleaning, laundry, meals and transport. Air conditioning, deposits, bedding, cooking items and move-in charges can change the amount you actually need.
Location and transport

Check with your faculty that classes and student housing are at the same campus before choosing a room.
SIU official sitePublic transport and arrival
Moovit currently lists bus lines 1111, 1138, 1147, 1-27 (90) and 6249 for routes passing near SIU main campus, with nearby stops including Visual Stop and Opposite St. Carlos Medical Centre. This is third-party, changing route data; check live schedules and the last return trip.
An older SIU arrival reference also described airport transfer for new students staying in university housing, subject to advance flight details. Confirm the airport, date window and reservation requirement directly with SIU.

Budget beyond the hostel room
No single public monthly budget is specific to SIU hostel residents. A regional point of reference from Thammasat University’s Rangsit campus lists dormitory/private-apartment rent at THB 3,500–5,000 per month including water and electricity, and street-stall food at THB 35–100 per meal. This is a different campus and should only help frame questions, not predict your SIU bill.

Dorm or apartment rent, deposit, electricity, water, internet, laundry and possible bedding or cooking setup.
Daily spending
Food, drinking water, phone/data, toiletries, study supplies and occasional health costs.

FAQ
Shinawatra University hostel FAQs
Does Shinawatra University have a hostel?
SIU’s official Educational Development Plan lists male and female dormitories at its Pathum Thani campus. The university uses the term dormitory; students searching for a hostel are generally looking for this campus housing. Current availability and booking rules need confirmation from SIU.
How much is the Shinawatra University hostel fee?
We could not confirm a current official rate. A VNIS guide reproduces an older SIU accommodation reference of about US$150 per month for a furnished dormitory or apartment room, plus roughly US$35 for electricity and water and US$12–14 for internet. The source is an SIU page archived on February 14, 2025, so these are historical reference figures, not a current offer.
What facilities are in the SIU hostel?
A third-party guide reviewing SIU’s archived accommodation page describes separate five-storey men’s and women’s buildings, furnished rooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, 24-hour security, washing machines, a self-service minimart, a gym, kitchens, a barbecue garden, night infirmary support and a weekend mall shuttle. These details are from a 2025 archive and must be checked with SIU for current operation and access.
Is the SIU hostel open to international students?
SIU’s public plan confirms campus dormitories, but current eligibility, available beds and allocation priority for international students are not confirmed in current official material we could access. Ask Student Affairs or the international office for written confirmation for your program and intake.
How early should I request a room?
The older accommodation guidance reproduced by VNIS says students should contact Student Affairs with their arrival date and preferred housing at least 10 days ahead, and notes that short notice may not secure a room. Treat that as historical guidance and ask SIU for the current deadline and process.
Is airport pickup included with the hostel?
A 2025 archived SIU accommodation reference, as summarized by VNIS, described free airport transfer during the week before semester for new international students staying in university housing, if flight details were submitted at least 10 days in advance. Confirm whether this operates for your intake, eligible airports, dates and luggage before relying on it.
Can I rent a private room instead of living in an SIU dorm?
Yes, private apartments are advertised in Pathum Thani, but the province covers multiple districts and a directory location does not establish that a room is close to SIU. Compare the full address and commute, then verify vacancy, utilities, deposits and lease conditions directly with the provider.
What should I confirm before paying a hostel deposit?
Get the current room rate, room occupancy, deposit amount and refund rules, payment method, utilities, internet, meal arrangements, contract period, cancellation policy, move-in date and written confirmation of the room assignment. Pay only through the university’s confirmed official channel and keep a receipt.
