Based on existing research literature and data accumulated in a field work, this paper tries, through analyzing the development history of overseas Chinese schools in the mountain area of northern Thailand, to summarize the tradition of "military-run schools" that is different from those in Southeast Asian countries and other regions of the world. As this study shows, the tradition of "military-run schools" has run through the whole process of overseas Chinese education in the mountain area of northern Thailand till this day. The tradition of "military-run schools" has a profound and important influence on the development of overseas Chinese education in that area. To take overseas Chinese education in the mountain area of northern Thailand out of its current dilemma, the tradition of "military-run schools" has to be adjusted.
