Tywais Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This is the best site for them and the primary one I rely upon for designing the TV calendar. Just be aware that the government sometimes adds a day here and there at the last moment. http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/thailand/2016 Alternates: http://www.officeholidays.com/countries/thailand/2016.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) The timeanddate calendar is missing something big! http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/thailand/2016#!hol=9 It does not show Asanha Bucha and Khao Phansa (whatever filter you use). Big fault. Two very important consecutive holidays. In 2016 its Asanha Bucha Tuesday, July 19 2016 Khao Phansa Wednesday July 20 2016 I bet a beer that there will be a free Monday donated by the government. 5 day weekend. Stampede!!! A holiday calender in Thai here: http://hilight.kapook.com/view/117219 If you scroll down the page you see a second picture "how to make the best out of" (long weekends, bridge days). Sonkran will be at least 5 consecutive days. Edited May 5, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fault. Two very important consecutive holidays. Didn't see that as it has always been spot on. I suspect it is due to those dates are based on the Lunar Cycle and may not have been accurately calculated yet. I've seen this before when the monks are a bit slow getting the date out.

KhunBENQ Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thai holiday planning is a scientific matter Lunar holidays differ from astronomical full moon, some holidays only for certain groups (workforces), maybe one holiday only for government in Bangkok (ploughing day) etc. etc. Lunar holidays differ from astronomical full moon: took me a while to understand that some of the astronomical full moon days do not match the Bhuddist holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
