Why 2027 dates are still provisional
The fixed-date holidays — New Year, Chakri Day (Apr 6), Songkran (Apr 13–15), Labour Day, Coronation Day (May 4), the royal birthdays, Chulalongkorn Day (Oct 23), the Dec 5 national day and Constitution Day (Dec 10) — are certain. The Buddhist holy days (Makha Bucha, Visakha Bucha, Asarnha Bucha, Khao Phansa) follow the lunar calendar and are shown here as astronomical estimates until the Cabinet publishes the official 2027 list.
The Cabinet may also add special bridge holidays to create long weekends, as it did with Jan 2, 2026. We will update this page when the official 2027 schedule and any special days are announced.
