12 August (Wednesday) The Queen's Birthday (Mother's Day)

It's in red letters on the calender, so perhaps bars and government offices closed...?

Can any one confirm....?

There should be an late afternoon / evening event at the pier area in Nathon, which was well attended last year...thumbsup.gif

Government offices and main bank branches will be closed. Previous history over the years, bars have had a low probability of being closed. But this year can't be sure. wink.png

Would love to but the university says no. biggrin.png But that extra day was for last year only, 2557, as the holiday was on a Tuesday and the government gave Monday off as a special day to give 4 day long weekend to promote domestic tourism.

I have asked several bars this evening about a closure on Tuesday and not a single one knew anything about it.

Exactly where has this been announced, please?

A couple of holidays coming up....

5 December (Saturday) The King's Birthday (Father's Day)

7 December (Monday) The King's Birthday Substitution Day

10 December (Thursday) Constitution Day

December 7th - Monday, substitution day for the King's birthday, and December 10th - Thursday, Constitution Day are public/government holidays. As such immigration, schools and other government offices will be closed. Main branches of banks will also be closed (BOT site) but as usual the satellite branches such as malls will be operational. So prepare in advance your activities.

Either the 5th (King's birthday) or the 7th (substitution day) has a high probability of a no alcohol day, not clear yet. Constitution day has no prohibition.

December 11th, Bike for Dad Day. Appears they have decided not to make it a public holiday though I know many at our university will be taking the day off .

As posted by Tywais...

May 02 (Monday) - Labor day. Banks closed, except for satellite branches such as at malls, but government offices open. Some business may be closed.

May 5th and 6th (Thursday and Friday) - Coronation day plus special holiday to allow for long weekend. Banks closed except satellite branches, Government offices and schools closed. Bars open. smile.png

May 9th (Monday) - Royal Ploughing Ceremony. Banks open. Schools closed. Not certain about government offices such as immigration, this is one holiday that I find confusing regarding governments Some Thai embassies/consulates will be closed.

May 20th (Friday) - Visakha Bucha Day. Banks closed, government offices and schools closed and Embassies/Consulates closed. This is a dry day, no alcohol allowed to be sold.

If any one going to Samui Immigration, in the next week, perhaps you could ask about whether open or closed on May 9 th.... and post! wink.png
