New Year Holidays This Year 3 Days?

Featured Replies

It appears that this year, Monday the 30th is a Special holiday, the 31st is New Years Eve holiday and the 1st is New Years and all are national holidays.

Is that correct?

Monday the 30th is a Government holiday but there are businesses who give their staff a holiday too. With the weekend on 28 and 29 this will give a 5 day holiday.

Correct.

 

And pragmatically: dig in on the 27th and don't wake up until the 3rd :biggrin:

The usual stampede starts on Fri, 27th at latest.

Crowds at offices will be huge on the 2nd.

It's the time of year when expats hunker down , raise the drawbridge , put fresh belts of ammo in the watch tower machine guns , activate exploding doormat then stay home until another silly season has past.

Which offices? And why should this be a concern?

Immigration offices as an example?

If you have a good book and a folding chair it might not be a concern.

 

For expats:

DLT (motor transport)

District offices

Land offices

Immigration offices for example. Always crowded after a long holiday, especially during high season in tourist areas.

I went to do my 90 day report early at Samui IMO today anticipating the New Year/Holiday aftermath.

 

I have never seen it so quiet!...The staff outweighed the "Guests" by about 5 to 1......Handed over my passport and Bank Book and asked how long?   They said 10 minutes. Went downstairs for a pee, came back up and they called my number...BINGO! :thumbsup:.

 

In and out less than 5 minutes! Never happened before!...I said Korp Khun Krap and Merry Christmas to everyone!....The FAT ONE just glared at me as per! :cheesy:

 

Also went to DLT and got Tax for 3 of my motorbikes...I was 2nd in the queue....Again in and out in 5 minutes.

 

Loving Christmas Day! Have a Great One Folks! :burp:
