Labor Day on 1 May 2026: A clear check on who gets the day off. Are civil servants off? Are banks closed? Don't forget to verify before planning your trip.
May 2026 is another month that includes "long holidays" lasting several days in a row. Many people have already planned trips, while others plan to relax at home. However, it is important to check carefully because even though it is a holiday, not everyone gets the day off. This is because public holidays and bank holidays differ this month.
Specifically, on Friday, 1 May 2026, which is "Labor Day" only companies in the "private sector and banks" will close, "civil servants do not get the day off."
On Wednesday, 13 May 2026, which is "the Royal Plowing Ceremony Day (Phuet Mongkhon Chot Phra Nangkal Raek Na Khwan)," only "civil servants get the day off." Meanwhile, companies in the "private sector and banks" will not close and will operate as usual.
