junkofdavid2 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi! So is tomorrow a holiday or not? I've heard 3 stories: 1) It's not a holiday anymore, only today (monday) is a holiday. 2) It's a holiday for Government offices, but it's an "optional" holiday for banks and private businesses. 3) It's now a holiday for everyone. So what have you heard and from who/where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Traveller Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Not claiming any authoritative status, but my understanding is that 2 is closest. I believe that the banks for example will be open tomorrow. I think the idea was to stretch the return traveling window but it was so last minute I'm not sure how it'll play out. Of course the same thing was done last year for the Royal Celebrations. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmadness Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) I didn't know about this extra day of holiday until after I booked my ticket to Penang tomorrow. Hoping the Thai Embassy is open down there, but expecting it not to be. edit: well just called NJs, he's says it's open and he hasn't let me down yet so I reckon it'll be ok.

lopburi3 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It is not a holiday for banks - they will be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosquitoman Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 My local post office has a sign up saying it is closed tomorrow, however the banks have signs saying they are open. I notice my Thaivisa.com calender shows tomorrow as a holiday. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
