The Thai cabinet has made November 16th, 17th and 18th special public holidays for Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan to ease the movement of government leaders and senior officials during the APEC Summit and related meetings.
 

Anucha Burapachaisri, deputy secretary-general to the prime minister, said today (Wednesday) that the extra days off are also intended to enable security officials to perform their duties efficiently.

 

Commercial banks and other financial institutes, however, will remain open as usual, particularly those responsible for critical functions. Other staff can work from home.

Should apply to the whole event. These dinosaur meetings cause chaos and high cost.

 

And for the plebs these holidays are meaningless and the event a burden.

Yes they get paid.  What confuses me is that on holidays and Sundays the traffic is usually worse.  I try never to go out on a Sunday or a public holiday.
