February 18, 201610 yr Public/Government holiday - 22 February (Monday) Makha Bucha Day Immigration will be closed as will all other government offices, main bank branches closed but satellite branches in places like malls open. This is also a no-alcohol day. How is Maka Bucha Day celebrated? In the morning many Thai people wake up early to give alms to monks. In the evening, temples are full of people listening to sermons. They often perform a ritual known as the the candle ceremony where they walk clockwise three times around the temple. holding flowers, incense and a lighted candle. In Thailand, the sale of alcohol is banned on religious holidays. This means bars and clubs are closed for the entire holiday.
