goofie Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I am looking at going to the Thai Embassy over Sankran, well go to Laos anyway. I believe that the public holidays in Thailand are 13,14 & 15th April, so I expect it will be closed on those days. I have been told that Laos public holidays are 14,15 &16th April, so I presume it will be closed on the 16th as well. Is this correct? I was also told that Many places will be shut down up there 13-16th any many taking the 17th off, gone home for the week. I am deciding to go to the Embassy before or after the water fights. At least there will be beer there, (and lots of drunk driving too I imagine, but hope not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 ...I have been told that Laos public holidays are 14,15 &16th April, so I presume it will be closed on the 16th as well. Is this correct?... Yes. Thai embassies and consulates observe both the Thai and the local holidays. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The "Songkran" dates in Cambodia are the same as in Laos, 14th-16th, in case anyone intends using the Thai consular/embassy services there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokgas Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The answer to the very same question I was given is that the consulate is closed from April 11th-19th. I gather Suaan Phlu is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closed 11.12.13.14.15 http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/co...t/holidayEN.php The Consulates in Laos should be open 17th. However it will be a total nightmare if they are.
