How many weeks vacation do you get?

Lots of public holidays here in Thailand.. I think the absolute right by labor law for individual holidays (in addition to public holidays) is only two weeks or so though.

In practice a lot of people here are small business people - for example restaurateurs - and they often take long holidays at will.

30 days.

Very reasonable.  So with a five-day working-week, that's a six week long holiday, correct?

No, 5. Because your regular day off in a holiday week is accounted for as a "holiday" day.

What the heck?  That's crazy.  So you should always take your 30 days holiday piecemeal and avoid including any weekends in it, in order to maximize non-working time?

If it were me I would take my holiday Tues-Wed-Thurs for ten weeks, and then take Monday and Friday as sick days.. hmm. maybe 20 sick days would be too many.
