Check Now! Bank Branch Closures on October 13 and 16, 2026 in Malls and Outside Malls

In October 2026, Thailand has the honor of hosting the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group. From 12 to 18 October 2026, Bangkok will become the central hub for this gathering, attracting economic and financial leaders from around the world.

With over 15,000 attendees from 190 countries converging in Bangkok, traffic congestion is expected to be severe. Therefore, the Cabinet approved a special public holiday on Friday, 16 October 2026, in Bangkok, and mandated government agencies in the city to implement work-from-home arrangements on 12, 14, and 15 October 2026. October 13 is already a public holiday (King Bhumibol Memorial Day).
