Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted April 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) 22 minutes ago, brewsterbudgen said: Yes. It's not a holiday for government offices, including Immigration. Correct. 17 minutes ago, ripstanley said: It IS a holiday for government offices including Immigration and banks It's not. "Labour day" is taken literally here, government officers are not "laborers". Regular post offices are closed e.g. Following the BoT website the main bank branches will also be closed. https://www.bot.or.th/English/FinancialInstitutions/FIholiday/Pages/2023.aspx And yes from May 4th all closed. Reopen Monday 8th. Immigration open on May 1st: (calendar published on immigration websites) Edited April 30, 2023 by KhunBENQ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be open but only for emergency cases. Most "regular" doctors don't work on public holidays. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mfd101 Posted April 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2023 The BKK Bank's list of bank holidays for this year has May 1 National Labour Day and May 4 Coronation Day listed as bank holidays. 5 May is also mentioned elsewhere as a public holiday added by the Government (presumably to make a lovely 4-day weekend for the adoring populace, while reducing the nation's abysmally low productivity levels even lower). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bank holidays, not Government holidays. 1 May is a bank holiday but not a government holiday. 4 May is both. 17 May is a government holiday but not a bank holiday.

My little village hospital is always open, 24 hours, and if necessary they consult a doctor on-line after asking relevant questions. Quite impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospitals do not close on public holidays. Nope. Just back from immigration. Apparently the 1st of May is a holiday only for the private sector (including banks). Just as well, otherwise it would be like another Songkran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
