snoop1130 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 BANGKOK, Feb 13 (TNA) – The Cabinet has passed a resolution approving Friday, April 12, 2024, as an additional public holiday, creating a continuous holiday period of five days for Songkran Festival. This decision comes in light of the upcoming Songkran Festival, during which a significant number of people will be traveling back to their hometowns and visiting various provinces, leading to increased traffic congestion and potential gridlocks. Therefore, in order to facilitate smoother travel and to stimulate tourism, service sectors, and the overall economy, it was deemed necessary to designate an additional public holiday on April 12.

The 3 wks was never touted as a 3 wk holiday. Having said this I agree that it's ludicrous. What is meant to happen in these 3 wks? TAT like all departments here are full of thought bubble, empty headed idiots that come up with completely idiotic ideas with no thought at all put into to them. Arrival tax is a good example. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 For public sector only. Most private businesses, including the one I work for will ignore this. I guess it will get all the busloads of grumpy middle aged women in beige uniforms off the roads and away from the gas station food courts before I head to the farm.
