AAArdvark Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that correct? Correct. And pragmatically: dig in on the 27th and don't wake up until the 3rd The usual stampede starts on Fri, 27th at latest. Crowds at offices will be huge on the 2nd.

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 ...

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! . 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! 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!
