Thailand’s Ministry of Culture will propose, to the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), the declaration of special public holidays, from July 4^th to 9^th, for belated Songkran celebrations, which were postponed from mid-April due to the coronavirus pandemic.

I hope this will be without the stupid water games. 

Christ on a crutch! Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing? School is supposed to start back up 1 July and the students have already lost months. If we go as planned, we will be working Christmas day. There is NO room for these days off - or, oh hell, who cares! THROW me a super soaker!

They just can't do without their beloved Songkran, you would think they'd be more interest recovery from this pandemic 1st ( oh hold on, that makes sense, scratch that idea )!

The amount of 

holidays' in Thailand is insane.

Someone's birthday, someone's death, someone's marriage, someone's coronation, when the king sneezed, fer f. u .k s sakes

"To put in perspective":

 

July 4: Saturday

July 5: Asanha Bucha, alcohol prohibited

July 6: substitute holiday for 5.

7,8,9 (Thursday) "Songkran"

 

Does one really expect that Fri, July 10, anything will be open/happen?

 

So Sat Jul 4 to Sun Jul 12 "holyweek"?

 

And that after the expected "grand opening" on July 1??

That will be fun (on the road and elsewhere).

Which means that school will not really start before July 13th!

 

After 4 months of holidays, do the children need...more holidays?

 

And does the moribund economy need to restart with a holiday?
