Two extra holidays, Fri May 6 and Mon Jul 18 2016

Found in the other newspaper (links not allowed).

Government approves two extra public holidays in 2016 to make up for long weekends.

Friday May 6th

Monday July 18th

All government offices incl. immigration closed.

Both extra holidays will create four day long weekends with the usual implications (heavy traffic, Pattaya clogged).

(I hope more sources will be found soon)

India is hard to beat even with these extra two

For those of us working here, I'm not complaining. Though sometimes I have to think of what to do with myself with all that extra time on my hands.

Cool so May 2nd and 5th are public holidays and now the 6th as well.

guess I might have the flu on the 3rd and 4th then and make a week out of it.

For the boozers...is it dry?

Coronation Day, May 5th: no alcohol ban (very unlikely).

Asanha Bhucha and Khao Phansa, July 19th and 20th: alcohol ban (very likely).

The extra days of course no ban.
