Holiday breaks
RIS Swiss Section Bangkok Christmas break: family trips
The RIS Swiss Section – Deutschsprachige Schule Bangkok calendar for 2026/27, updated 25 March 2026, sets the Christmas and New Year school holiday from 17 December 2026 to 5 January 2027 inclusive, with the second semester starting on 6 January 2027. These are this school's dates only, not other RIS sections, all of Bangkok, or other private or public schools. The seven-day example, 17–23 December, is a part of the published break, not the whole break.

What to weigh
- The 17–23 December example is one week inside the break; change the days to match your plans.
- Adults' days off depend on the employer; this page says nothing about work leave.
- The shortlist is a cost-only illustration ranked on modelled cost; the school dates do not become an exact-date airfare search, and it does not filter by flight time, direct service, weather or entry rules. Check those yourself.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency for a family of four, not a typical, recommended or guaranteed amount.
Questions
- Do other Bangkok schools share these dates?
- Not necessarily. These dates are for RIS Swiss Section only; check your own school.
- Are these live prices?
- No. They are modelled whole-trip estimates for the example inputs shown. Change the departure city, days, budget or party to recalculate.
