chickencurry Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I've been here a while now but still haven't worked out exactly what Mid Year Closing Day (tomorrow July 1st) is all about - and does everywhere close? Can anyone tell me what it's all about?<br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencurry Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Never heard of it. Well according to my diary (a Thai diary) it is a public holiday tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QED Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Definitely not a public holiday. Several Thai calendars/diries etc here and none of them mention it. I too have never heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's mighty strange isn't it? I just looked at the front of my diary and it says that it is a Bank Holiday but not a Government Holiday, so maybe the Banks are counting up their dosh or something. According to my diary, the only other holiday which is a Bank Holiday and not a Government Holiday is National Labour Day on May 1st. So there ya go..... I'm no wiser really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotlost Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Banks close July 1 Thursday, July 1 is the annual mid-year closing of all banks. This is a bank holiday and not a public holiday, so other offices and businesses will still be open. Many currency exchange booths will also be open, but all major bank branches will be closed for the day. Chiang Mai Mall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no wiser really Thai Tax year runs from 1st Jan to 31st December, so tomorrow is the exact half year point. Half year auditing etc. could explain it, but why they need to close for that goodness knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
