Public Holidays in Thailand — 2026
There are 16 public holidays in Thailand in 2026 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
1 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 15 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 8 before July and 8 after it — with April the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 95 days, from Thursday, January 1, 2026 to Monday, April 6, 2026; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
6 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 5 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Thailand sits in South-Eastern Asia, is run from Bangkok, pays in Baht, and has about 69.8M people planning around these same dates.
