Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Tuesday (August 4) that there will be no Songkran compensation holiday this month because the government needs to consider the option of granting a public holiday from several aspects.

 

“The compensation holidays will possibly be in September or October. If September is chosen, then there is a possibility that two days will be marked as off because there are no public holidays that month,” he said.

 

The first Songkran compensation was July 27.

Good news - way too many holidays last month

Meanwhile, in Thailand, hundreds of thousands of people are still going hungry due to a lack of help from the government. The powers-that-be are probably far too busy mulling over the various Songkran alternative holiday dates to worry about children going to bed hungry. 

You would think a day before or after Mother’s Day would be the logical choice.
