Thai Holidays: All Public Holidays in Thailand 2023

Thai Holidays 2023
Share

Thailand has 23 national holidays alongside several religious traditions. While some holidays are general observances, many others are public holidays which result in government offices (like immigration) and other businesses to close.

Pro travel tip (lol): Buddhism is the primary religion in Thailand. During these thai holidays, there will be a ‘National No Alcohol Days‘ with bars closing and local shops unable to sell you anything.

So, you’ll want to stock up on Leo beer before its too late (I’ve added “*” to the list of holidays below for days when alcohol sales are banned).
