Dates of public holidays in Thailand

Public holidays in the Thai calendar

As Thailand is a Buddhist country, many religious festivals are public holidays, as are some historical dates and the birthdays of the King and Queen. Apart from banks and government offices, which are closed on these days, there is no real difference from the rest of the year: transport, hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and shopping malls operate normally. On some religious holidays, however, the sale of alcohol is restricted or prohibited.
