PHUKET: Government offices will remain open but many businesses will close this coming Wednesday (May 1) as the nation celebrates the annual May Day holiday.

 

Every first day of May (May 1) is celebrated in Thailand – as in many countries around the world – as National Labour Day. It is an official holiday for employees, and so many businesses will be closed for the day.
