I have checked the calendar, nothing mentioned, but my neighbors have not been to work...

Please enlighten me

Nothing shows up on the Public holidays calendar - http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/782233-public-holidays-2015/

My neighbor hasn't been to work for as long as I live here.

LOL @ The cruncher

Twos of my neighbors who do work everyday have not moved their car.

Unless they suddenly took public transports, something is up.

Wow a curtain twitchers are us...dont forget to keep your log books upto date with times your neighbours come and go

Everyone in the office as usual today. most of them however are on Facebook.

Not that I can talk, sat here reading ThaiVisa!

Perhaps they are Jewish. Sokkot runs 9/27-10/04

Sept 28th in some countries is also:

Family Day

National Ask a Stupid Question Day

National Drink a Beer Day (my favorite)

National Good Neighbor Day

and several others. http://www.checkiday.com/09/28

Their public transport truck departs 10 meters away from my pillow everyday Mon-Sat @ 5am

So no need to twitch curtain

Chinese Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival was yesterday so perhaps taking today off.

To me, Thai public holidays are determined by whether the banks are open. Look up FE rates on the internet. No change=weekend or public holiday.

Not necessarily. The BOT calendar doesn't follow all the public holidays as they (BOT) are restricted to a certain number of holidays allowed for banks.

The neighbour should have left a note to clarify the situation!

Your neighbors aren't teachers by chance?

At least the elementary school in the district town already closed.

Big holidays are close.

Other schools still open.

Banks open.

Town crowded as mad.

No holiday.

Indeed yesterday was some religious holiday (full moon by definition).

Many villagers running to the temple.

Some sleeping ther overnight.

By definition: have you noticed that the Buddhist holidays not always accord to the astronomical full moon date for Thailand? (plus/minus one day?)

There seems to be some council of wise men who determine the Buddhist holidays by some criteria. No idea which.

E.g. astronomically full moon in Bangkok was today at 9:50h (AM). Not visible of course.

Buddhist "event" yesterday.
