How Thailand’s in-lieu holidays work
When a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, Thailand grants a substitution (in-lieu) holiday on the next working day. In 2025 three holidays landed on a Sunday — Chakri Memorial Day (Apr 6), Coronation Day (May 4) and Visakha Bucha (May 11) — so Apr 7, May 5 and May 12 were taken off instead.
