School holiday planning · 2026/27

Plan school breaks around Pattaya

In brief

Start with your child’s school calendar. Christmas and Songkran sit inside longer breaks at some international schools around Pattaya.

Choose your next school break

Put the school calendar first

A national holiday calendar and a school’s teaching calendar answer different questions. Use the last teaching day and first day back to plan travel. For a school visit, ask admissions for an appointment during that school’s published term.

The two guides compare Rugby School Thailand and St Andrews Green Valley using their published 2026/27 calendars. For the wider directory, use the school-by-school term-date calendar.

One plan for the whole family

  1. Record each child’s last teaching day and first day back.
  2. Check boarding departure and arrival arrangements separately with the school.
  3. Book school tours with admissions before arranging transport.
  4. Keep the school’s calendar link with your travel documents.

Moving with children covers the school-selection steps; the admissions timeline helps organise applications.
