Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Thailand have in 2026?
Thailand has 18 national public holidays in 2026. The first is New Year's Day on January 1, 2026 and the last is New Year's Eve on December 31, 2026.
What is the first public holiday of 2026 in Thailand?
The first public holiday of 2026 is New Year's Day, which falls on January 1, 2026.
When is New Year celebrated in Thailand in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Thailand is on January 1, 2026.
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 2026 to the next year?
Some of them do. 4 of the 18 holidays in 2026 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 March 3, 2026, Vesak Day on May 31, 2026 and Asalha Puja on July 29, 2026, 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 2026. 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.
