In a normal society there should be a weekend which is not counted as a holiday, but in THailand every day is a working day so indeed tomorrow is a day off and Sunday and Monday too ... but don't call it weekends ...just 3 day holiday is better

You have kids at Thai school ? Does not sound like it. They are never there it seems due to 'public' holidays, for the love of God do not encourage more week days off
