The official list and dates of the annual bank holidays and non-working public holidays in Thailand, for the upcoming calendar year 2022, has been released.

As before (2020-09-23, 2019-07-31, 2018-09-23, 2017-10-29, 2016-08-14, 2015-07-11, 2014-07-13, 2013-09-09, 2012-09-26 and 2011-08-20), and in accordance with the Cabinet's Resolution of February 3rd, 2004, 2-day public holidays that both fall on a weekend day only give rise to one day in lieu non-working public holiday on the following Monday (2004-02-06).

The list of 2022 public holidays maintain public holidays for the birthdays of King Bhumibol (H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great's Birthday/ National Day / Father's Day) and the Queen Mother (H.M. Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother’s Birthday / Mother's Day), while including the 2017 changes to the list of annual non-working public holidays in Thailand, following the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (2017-04-11, 2017-02-07, 2016-11-22 and 2016-10-20).

The Royal Ploughing Ceremony public sector holiday is usually announced at a later date (2020-12-28, 2020-09-24, 2019-11-19, 2019-03-01, 2017-06-05, 2016-08-14, 2015-11-03, 2014-12-08, 2013-12-26, 2012-11-30, 2011-12-08, and 2009-04-26), with the notable exception of 2018, when it was announced before the list of 2018 public holidays in Thailand (2017-06-05), but only to be moved later that same year (2017-11-18).

Of course the list of public holidays in Thailand, for the upcoming calendar year 2022 can be later modified, as was the case, many times, this year, so far (2021-07-01, 2021-03-11, 2020-12-29).
