April 9, 20214 yr My daughters international school in Bangkok cancelled classes today. I don't know the reason but we can expect a fairly strong response and I think schools will do online classes after Songkran. We will know soon
April 11, 20214 yr I haven't heard anything from my daughter's International School about not opening on the 19th.
April 12, 20214 yr CM international school was due to return from break on 20 April but now will be going to on-line learning until 30 April when further plans will be announced due to the virus spread in Chiang Mai.

That was quick, it is only Monday. Can you share the announcement they sent out?
April 12, 20214 yr Just got informed by the International School of my kids (Phuket) that they are keeping a close eye on developments and will let us know on the 17th. The decision will be based on the recommendations of the local government/experts. That seems like a fair approach to me: wait as long as possible to see how the outbreak develops and follow official guidelines.
April 12, 20214 yr Schools here closed for holiday on April 9th and are scheduled to restart on May 17th. It seems term times differ all over the country.
April 12, 20214 yr May 17th for my daughter for the new academic year in my part of Bangkok too. That's for regular Thai school calendar (not the international calendar).

Depending if it's a Thai school or international school; however OP didn't say which, but likely international as OP talks about reopening April 19th.
April 12, 20214 yr So far my daughter's international school has not changed plans for reopening for 3rd term the 20th of April.
April 12, 20214 yr My fingers are crossed that my son's international school in Bangkok can start the new term on schedule on 19 April. Much will depend on the official advice of the MOE / OPEC.
April 15, 20214 yr Author Online learning at St. Andrews, at least for the first week. St. Andrews Sathorn: IMP: Covid Update April 15th Dear Parents, I do hope you have had an enjoyable and safe Songkran holiday. Unfortunately, you will be aware the number of COVID-19 positive cases has significantly increased in many areas of Thailand in the past week particularly in Bangkok. As a precaution and to allow us time to see how the current situation develops, we have decided to open the school on 19th April with online learning for the first week. During this week, we will continue to monitor the situation, see if the authorities introduce further measures and establish the impact of the Songkran period. Until we have a clear picture, all planned sports fixtures and residentials will be postponed until further notice. I am sorry that this is not the start to term that we all hoped for but as always, the safety of our community has to remain our greatest priority when making such decisions. We truly hope to have the campus reopened as soon as possible. In the meantime, it is very important if any family experiences a positive COVID-19 test, they inform school so we can support and agree a return to school protocol. Thank you for your ongoing support and patience, which is truly valued and appreciated.
April 15, 20214 yr Online learning at Bangkok Patana for at least until 23rd (1st week of the summer term). Beyond that the immediate future Is somewhat unknown but I expect a full on frenzy as the media let their foot off the clutch and go full throttle on post Songkran explosion of cases. I imagine most schools will have little choice but to remain closed for at least the next month.
