Thailand Post-Election Public Holiday Update

Sources: The Nation and Thailand public holidays. In our post of August 28 we had surmised that a public holiday would be declared on the day after the December 24 general elections (as had been done in early August on the occasion of the Charter Referendum).

Although the government of Thailand has not yet made any announcement to that effect, government spokesman, Chaiya Yimwilai, told reporters that the question of whether December 24 should be declared a public holiday had been raised at this week's cabinet meeting.
