elef Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 British Chamber of Commerce lists Mon 5 Mar Maka Bucha Day (in lieu of Sat 3 Mar) Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Mod Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 You both appear to be right. I got my information from Thaivisa, and several other sites say 3rd Feb, but the British Embassy also says 3rd March, Link. I'll change the original post to that date.

Board Mod Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Looks like Mentors is right - British Chamber of Commerse and the British Embassy both say May 31st. I've changed the original post. Why can't there be one definitive site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom_Pom Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 This is a mixture of festivals and public holidays. Is there a list around yet of just the 'official' holidays so I know what days I get off work? Although I would dearly like three days off for Songkran I don't think it is going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideway Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 March 3 is Makha Buch Day. No alcohol will be available. Bars are closed as I read. What about the Massage Parlours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
