TerryLH Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) I was told that government offices will be open, but apparently State Enterprises will not. I have an appointment tomorrow, and they assured me they'll be there. It might not be busy tomorrow, with many thinking they won't be open.

IMA_FARANG Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Every year someone posts a list of legal holidays on this Thai visa forum. If you go looking for it you will see the holidays listed. Labor Day is a Thai government holiday and immigration will be closed this year on Labor day May1st as it is every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginkas Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Today, 1st May, Government Offices are OPEN. Labour Day is not a holiday for government employees, so says my friend who works at the Ministry of Justice and has gone into work today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim7777 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Oh yes immigration was definitely open today operating regular hours here in Korat anyway. I did my 90 day report and it went as smooth as silk because there were only 2 other people there this morning when they opened. That was the fastest it ever took me to get it done we were in and out of there within 5 minutes, probably because everyone else thought it was closed lol. I knew they would be open I was just trying to confirm because of the holiday. Today went really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every one just assumes that it will be closed on holidays but not every holiday only the major holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allane Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The May 10 public holiday,Wisaka Bucha Day, is for public and private. May 1 (Labour Day) is for the private sector only. govt. employees get the Royal Ploughing Ceremony Day instead. (this year, May 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 May 1 was always considered a Communist sponsored holiday and never observed in Thailand, as in USA, for that reason. Thailand has allowed non-official observance but government offices are not provided a holiday - but in most lists of holidays it is marked as a holiday - so very confusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
