It may not be a public or stautory holiday, but do most people in the LOS, actually go to work on Dec 25?

Everyone in Thailand goes to work on Christmas and Chinese New Year.. Holiday depends on boss. My company it's work as usual. Thailand has one of the worlds most public holidays. Businesses cannot afford any more holidays.

sinkieland got the least public holidays in the world........even workaholic japan gets more days off.
After LKY dies we will have extra day or two added on...i am sure of that.
Songkran should be 3 official days

 

[chonburifc]

All my full time staff (locals and FTs) home are from other provinces or countries. New Year and Songkran will be the longest holidays. New Year I will give 4-5 days and Songkran up to 6 days. If they need more, they will use their annual leave to top up.

This year I am including X'mas holiday as we now have more fulltime FTs.

Just received a call from property agent to take a look at a shophouse in Jomtien. This agent's lobang so far all very good for me and clients so die die also must go and see. I know the place already as I eyeing for a long time but wanted to see the interior. If renovated, can save me a lot of money.

 

[Froggy]
