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.

Are the Thailand 2027 holiday dates confirmed?

When is Songkran 2027?
Songkran is April 13–15, 2027 (Tuesday to Thursday). Taking Monday Apr 12 off bridges it with the prior weekend for a longer break.
When is Visakha Bucha 2027?
Visakha Bucha is expected on Thursday May 20, 2027, subject to the official lunar calendar confirmation.
How many in-lieu days does Thailand have in 2027?
Five, because Makha Bucha (Feb 21), Labour Day (May 1), Asarnha Bucha (Jul 18), Chulalongkorn Day (Oct 23) and the Dec 5 national day all fall on a weekend.
Where can I download the Thailand 2027 holiday calendar?
