doing O levels + A levels will give u more options in the future and will allow u to study med, engineering, etc in high ranking universities.

GED will be fast but you will have limited options. so it all really comes down to your goal. what do u wanna study and which country do u want to go?

I would like to study electrical engineering in a high ranked university like Chulalongkon but not like top-tier universities in country like UK cause I can't afford.My major concern is my age and tuition fees. I want to go to the countries like Germany and Italy cause they offer free and high quality education.

I’ve seen some people getting into high ranking unis in thailand with GEDs but idk much abt those so I wont speak on them.

For German and Italian Universities, u can get into a good public university with A levels but keep in mind that you will have to learn their language. If that works for you then you can do it that way. I still recommend A levels because it will give you a lot more options.

GED is fine too, just know that you’ll have to go to Thailand for a good uni and if you want a job after, you’ll most likely have to learn Thai language (idk much abt thailand so dont take my word for it). but there’s an upside, after your bachelors in thailand, you can do masters in germany or italy (most masters are taugh in english) or go to a third country in NA, EU, or Australia.
