The dates below are the official Thai government list of public holidays in Thailand for 2015. Where the actual date of the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, a substitute day has been granted on the Monday as a day’s holiday.

It’s helpful to make a note of these dates if you need to apply for a visa or visa extension. Government offices and immigration offices throughout Thailand will be closed on these days. In many cases, the holidays will also be observed by Thai embassies and consulates outside of Thailand.

On Buddhist holidays such as Makha Bucha Day, there are restrictions in place on alcohol sales and some bars and clubs may close.
