There are two semesters in the Thai academic year with an optional summer semester. From kindergarten to high school, the first semester opens in mid May and continues until the end of September. The second semester lasts from November until the end of February (or early March). The university academic year is slightly different, lasting from June to October and mid November to mid March.

I asked Mr Google for it.

The holidays also depend on the school and the conditions of employment. Some schools require you to work the summer session. Some do not. Some pay for a full year contract, some do not pay when you do not work.

There are A LOT of variations from school to school.

This year, due to the flooding, the schedule is a complete mess for many schools.
