What Days Are Considered New Year Holiday

[mouse]

My workers are trying to tell me that that Thailand is celebrating New Years starting Monday morning on the 31 of December 2007 until the evening of 2 January 2008. They further tell me that they should be off from 29 dec until the 3rd of January 2008. Can somebody set me straight here. I noticed nothing posted here on the forum. Has Thailand not already lost enough productivity?

We close 28 and we are often open when all the others are closed. Argument: not a single customer will call. My wife and I'll be in the office and one CNC operator can be reached on the mobile phone in case I make the sale of the year tomorrow.

Look up at any thai calendar,

Last year they're Jan 1 & 2,

This year is only Jan 1 - unless you're in a good mood

The extra day added is usually in lieu of 1st Jan assuming it is on a Sunday, from what I believe.
