About these holidays

New Year's Day

1 January. In many countries the day off moves to the following Monday when it falls on a weekend.

The first day of the Gregorian calendar year, and the most widely observed public holiday in the world — a day off in almost every country that uses the Gregorian calendar, regardless of religion. Several countries extend the break to 2 January, and some in East Asia keep both the Gregorian and a separate lunar new year.

Chakri Day

6 April.

Marks the founding of the Chakri dynasty by King Rama I in 1782 and the establishment of Bangkok as the capital.

Songkran

13–15 April.

The traditional Thai new year, and the country's largest festival. Water is poured over Buddha images and the hands of elders as a blessing — a rite that has grown into nationwide water fights in the hottest month of the year.

Songkran Holiday

The days of the Songkran break beyond the main festival day.

The remaining days of the new year holiday. The cabinet often adds bridge days, making Songkran the longest continuous break in the Thai calendar and the peak period for domestic travel.

Labor Day

1 May in most countries; the first Monday of September in the United States and Canada.

The workers' holiday. Almost everywhere it falls on 1 May; in the United States and Canada it was deliberately placed in September to avoid the associations of May Day.

Coronation Day

4 May.

Marks the coronation of King Vajiralongkorn in 2019. The date replaced the previous Coronation Day of 5 May, which had marked King Bhumibol's 1950 coronation.

Queen Suthida's Birthday

3 June.

The birthday of Queen Suthida, consort of King Vajiralongkorn. Added to the calendar in 2019.

King Vajiralongkorn's Birthday

28 July.

The birthday of the reigning king, Rama X. Public buildings are decorated in yellow, the colour associated with the monarch's birth day of the week.

The Queen Mother's Birthday

12 August.

The birthday of Queen Sirikit, mother of the current king, and also observed as Thailand's Mother's Day.

Anniversary of the Death of King Bhumibol

13 October.

Marks the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 2016 after a seventy-year reign, the longest of any Thai monarch. A day of remembrance rather than celebration.

Chulalongkorn Day

23 October.

Honours King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), who abolished slavery and led the modernisation that kept Siam independent through the colonial era.

Day off for Chulalongkorn Day

A substitute day when Chulalongkorn Day falls on a weekend.

The substitute for Chulalongkorn Day.

King Bhumibol's Birthday

5 December.

The birthday of the late King Bhumibol, retained as a public holiday and also observed as National Day and Father's Day.

Constitution Day

The anniversary of the adoption of the constitution — varies by country.

Marks the adoption of a country's constitution. A major public holiday in Norway, Poland, Denmark, Japan, Mexico and South Korea, among others.

New Year's Eve

31 December.

The last day of the year. A full public holiday in a minority of countries; far more often a half day, a de facto early finish, or simply a marked date on which people still work.
