Thai Public Holiday Calendar
See Thailand's 2026 public holidays and how many days until the next one.
Before you rely on this
The government occasionally declares additional one-off “bridge” holidays not shown here, and the Buddhist Lent Day date below is inferred rather than independently confirmed. Confirm important dates with an official source before booking travel or scheduling around them.

Frequently asked questions
Why do the Buddhist holiday dates change every year?
Makha Bucha, Visakha Bucha, Asalha Bucha, and Buddhist Lent Day follow the Buddhist lunar calendar, so their Gregorian date shifts annually. The 2026 dates above come from the Bank of Thailand's official financial-institution holiday calendar for B.E. 2569.
Are bank holidays the same as public holidays?
Mostly, but banks sometimes observe a few additional holidays (like Bank Holiday, or Provincial holidays in some cases) beyond the standard government list shown here.
Does this include weekend-substitution holidays?
No — when an official holiday falls on a weekend, the government sometimes declares the following Monday a substitute holiday by Cabinet resolution. Those aren't predictable in advance and aren't included here.
