"Compensatory leave again." "I don't want to work this shift for a whole day."... Do office workers and
students feel exhausted as soon as the holidays come due to compensatory leave?
But do you know? In international schools in Thailand, the words "compensatory leave" seem to be non-existent!
What's even more enviable is that students here can enjoy nearly 150 days of vacation a year,
which is almost twice as many as in China! It's no exaggeration to call it an "anti-roll ceiling"!
The 2025 holiday calendar for international schools in Thailand is so tempting!
The holidays in international schools in Thailand are not just one type. They are a dual combination
of the international school calendar and Thai public holidays. Just thinking about it makes one feel happy!
Super long summer vacation: Mid-June - end of August (over 70 days!)
The summer vacation in China lasts at most two months, but here it starts at 70 days! It's enough to
let children completely relax and explore the world, or just have a great time by
the seaside in Thailand. Just thinking about it makes me feel so excited!
Christmas holiday: December 15th - May 5th (3-week golden period for visiting relatives
Christmas is an important festival in the West. A three-week holiday is long enough for children
to visit relatives and friends with their parents or take a warm family trip, leaving behind wonderful memories in the festive atmosphere.
Easter Spring Break: March 25- July 7 (Standard 2-week island tour)
Spring is the perfect time for a trip. The two-week Easter spring break is simply tailor-made for an island tour!
Thailand itself boasts a vast number of breathtaking islands, such as Phuket, Koh Samui,
Krabi... Just choose any one and you can have a pleasant vacation.
There are also a lot of public holidays in Thailand. You can have as many as 23 days off!
Apart from school holidays, public holidays and government holidays in Thailand are no less impressive, lasting
for a full 23 days! And there's no need for compensatory leave. You can just take it off at any time!
January: New Year's Day (January 1st), 1 day. The New Year starts with the holiday!

there is a public holiday of one day. Even at the end of the year, you can relax well and welcome the New Year.
Real calculation: 180 days of classes vs. 150 days of vacation!
In fact, students in international schools in Thailand attend classes for 180 days a year but have 150 days off. This proportion is really enviable!
Without being controlled by compensatory leave and having plenty of time to do what one wants,
who wouldn't say, "I want to have it too?" When seeing such a campus life?
