Other dates worth booking
Thailand's calendar is anchored by the monarchy: the King's Birthday and the late King Bhumibol's birthday (now also Father's Day, December 5) remain major holidays, and Songkran (the traditional New Year, April 13-15) has evolved into a nationwide multi-day water-throwing festival, among the most famous holiday traditions covered on this site.

Thailand has 14 public holidays in 2027, 1 more than the global average of 13.
2 public holidays fall on a weekend in Thailand in 2027: King Chulalongkorn Day (Saturday, October 23), King Bhumibol Adulyadej's Birthday (Sunday, December 5). Thailand grants no substitute day for these, so these are lost.
No — Thailand does not grant a substitute working day when a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday.
9 consecutive days off in Thailand in 2027, April 10–April 18, by booking 2 days of leave.
The next public holiday in Thailand is King Bhumibol Adulyadej Memorial Day on October 13, 2026.
Makha Bucha, Vesak Day, Asalha Puja, Buddhist Lent do not fall on the same date every year in Thailand, since they are set by a lunar or other variable calendar rather than a fixed date.
