Holiday breaks
BISP Phuket Term 1 holiday: family trips
The British International School, Phuket (BISP) 2026–2027 calendar sets the Term 1 holiday from 12 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 inclusive. These are BISP's dates only, not all of Phuket or other Thai schools. The seven-day example, 12–18 December, is a part of the break, not the whole break. Departing from Phuket changes the modelled travel costs compared with Bangkok.

What to weigh
- The 12–18 December example is one week inside the break; change the days to match your plans.
- Confirm the start of Term 2 with BISP before booking a return.
- 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 Phuket schools share these dates?
- Not necessarily. These dates are for BISP 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.
