Thailand public holidays & alcohol-free days 2026

On public holidays, government offices and banks close. Most attractions and shops stay open as usual.

On alcohol-free days, alcohol sales and service stop for 24 hours from midnight — at convenience stores, supermarkets and ordinary bars and restaurants alike. Hotel bars and restaurants, international airports and licensed entertainment venues are exempt.
