people generally enjoy more national holidays as compared to their

observe these public holidays. Most of these events are centered on
various festivals of the country. Especially in Bangkok, they are
periods of unbridled joy and merriment and visiting the city during
these events proves to be an enriching experience. This especially holds

Thai New Year. To aid in your travel, we have provided a comprehensive
