ORIGINAL POSTER
Good day everyone. My wife is a teacher at a public school in Thailand. She has all her legal documents in order (visas and employment contract), together with a recently acquired work permit. She’s been with the school for over 6 months. She is preggies and will be expecting late October. The school will break for holidays before she delivers…she will be at work until then.

Questions:

1. Are we as farangs entitled to maternity leave? If yes,

2. How many maternity days are we entitled to and… is this paid leave?

Kindly advise.

You can find all these answers with the Ministry of Labor and the Social Security Office. As this is not Visa related I will close the commenting.
