Thailand offers mandatory parental leave benefits to workers in the public sectors, and only mandatory maternity benefits for employees in the private sector.

Maternity leave in Thailand

Maternity leave entitlements are included as part of the employer and employee social security contributions. However, to be eligible to receive maternity benefits, social security contributions will need to have been made for at least five months in the last 15 months. Once eligible an employee is entitled to 98 days of maternity leave each pregnancy (up to two pregnancies in their lifetime). Maternity leave is paid to the employee by the employer for 45 days and the remainder from the Social Welfare Fund.
