New Songkran ‘replacement’ holiday added on July 27
Not sure the point as still no tourists allowed in,so maybe its a good thing, Back to a Thai holiday...
The only holiday i cant handle anymore as it has truly lost its meaning and been replaced by drunken thai's, farangs and traffic accidents/deaths
https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/songkra ... on-july-27The Thai government has declared July 27 the first of, what will probably be, substitute Songkran holidays. This year’s Songkran holiday was postponed as the April 13 Thai New Year holiday, and the days around it, were right in the middle of Thailand’s outbreak of Covid-19 and subsequent ‘lockdowns’.
Songkran celebrates the start of Thailand’s wet season. The first replacement holiday falls right in the middle of the country’s wet season.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

I think the point is a lot of people continued working through those holidays this year, factories etc, which they are actually entitled to so it's only fair they get them.
This is one of the most common sense moves the govt has made during this process, the economic benefit of several long weekends tagged onto other holidays will be a welcome boost to resort locations favoured by Thais and perhaps not so carnage inducing as the national exodus for the normal Songkran. I won't be driving my car this long weekend as I expect my area to be packed again.

Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.
