Monday, May 3 (Substitution day for Labour Day) is a holiday only for the private sector.  Government offices, including Immigration, will be open.

Are you sure? Can anybody confirm?

Google "wiki Public Holidays in Thailand".  Refefer to the section titled National Observances.

my wife does her normal shoft in government - 8pm - 4-30pm, but then she often works in the evenings and weekends in meetings. And often on public holidays.

btw, the 3rd is not a holiday for government.

I would think so, as its not a government holiday. My wife will go to work; she works for the government.

For those of us who may be a bit slow, could you be more specific about where that can be found?   I can't see "Calendar" on the forum's homepage.

Thanks.

Which is why there is a direct link to it in the second post above, its located at the top of the "General" forum and as seen above is entitled "Thai Holidays 2021" ????

That's what I experienced last year.

E.g. post office closed, road traffic office (DLT) open.

 

Khon Kaen immigration calendar so far was  always correct:

So, private holiday on Monday when government offices will be open. Government holiday on Tuesday when private businesses will be open.

No wonder there has been confusion.

Tues., May 4, is Coronation Day, a statutory holiday. Anything that is normally closed on a holiday will be closed that day.

Just to let you know: Immigration was (is) open today. Absolutely quiet and no waiting time at all (Mukdahan at 10am).

I know how Google works, thanks, I was asking Crossy about the location of the calendar on Thaivisa that I couldn't see.

I think there's also an unwritten rule that Banks aren't allowed to closed more than 3 days in a row during holidays too, so there's another thing to consider
