Is May 10 A Holiday For Immigration?

[opalhort]

The 10th of May is the day of the Royal Ploughing Ceremony which is usually a 'government only' holiday.

Will this affect Immigration and Labour as well?

It is a holiday only for govt. employees, but only in Bangkok.

According to my calender the 13th is Ploughing day.

I guess you are right. Only one of my calanders (a Singha one) says May 10.

Sorry if I spread misinformation.

In any case the question remains: Will Imm and Labour be shut down on 13 May?

Yes, this "holiday" applies only to BKK.

Is definitely a Government holiday which means they will be closed.

Today Government offices were open as I went to the Social Security Office

Wednesday they are closed too (Government holiday).

No, may 10th is a Monday.

13th May, arbitrary date

Royal Ploughing Ceremony Day วันพืชมงคล (Wan Phuetcha Mongkho)

A Ceremony giving blessing to the country's farmers.

Each year's date is astrologically determined and announced by the Royal Household Bureau.

For your question:

Will foreign embassies be open on May 13?

My diary lists May 5 (coronation day) as a public holiday and May 13 as well. The last one only for government empoyees, it is not a bank holiday.

Immigration Officer told me that They are not close on 1st May as they're not labour BUT they will close on Ploughing day.

Please check will your immigration.
