Thailand Public Holidays 2025
Thailand has 18 national public holidays in 2025, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2025 and ending with New Year's Eve on 31 December 2025. Four well placed days of leave buy 16 days away from work in 2025, because four holidays sit exactly one working day from a weekend.

Looking back: Thailand observed 18 national public holidays in 2025, the same number as in 2026. Three fell on a Saturday or Sunday, against two in 2026. The calendar produced six long weekends that year, as many as 2026 gives.

The busiest stretch is April (4 holidays), a good window to plan around if you rely on offices, banks or schools being open. Three of them fall on a Saturday or Sunday in 2025, which is worth checking if you are counting on days off from work.

Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Thailand have in 2025?
Thailand has 18 national public holidays in 2025. The first is New Year's Day on 1 January 2025 and the last is New Year's Eve on 31 December 2025.
What is the first public holiday of 2025 in Thailand?
The first public holiday of 2025 is New Year's Day, which falls on 1 January 2025.
When is New Year celebrated in Thailand in 2025?
In 2025, New Year's Day in Thailand is on 1 January 2025.
Are regional holidays included for Thailand?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Thailand are listed separately on the Thailand holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Thailand holiday dates change from 2025 to the next year?
Some of them do. Four of the 18 holidays in 2025 sit on a moving rule (announced per year), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Makha Bucha on 13 February 2025, Vesak Day on 12 May 2025 and Asalha Puja on 10 July 2025, plus 1 more.
How far ahead is the Thailand calendar actually fixed?
Through 2026. The Thai Cabinet approves the following year's public holidays by resolution, including the Buddhist lunar dates and any extra bridge days, so anything past that is computed from the rules in force rather than read off an official list. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Thailand.
Which Thailand holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2025. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Thailand holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only. To compare Thailand with other countries in the same year, see the 2025 worldwide overview.

Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend and how many working days the year leaves. The 2025 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them. The same figures are available as JSON, and the dates as a calendar file.
