This morning (26 October), some schools began the second semester of the 2026 academic year. Traffic congestion has been reported on many roads, so travelers may need to allow extra time for their journeys.
On 26 October 2026, reporters noted that many schools in Bangkok and other provinces started the second semester of 2026 today.
