Calendar: Thai holidays and events in October
Posted in Events, Buffalo races, Events and festivals, Phuket Vegetarian Festival
Tags: Holidays

The agenda for the month of October is again full of holidays and interesting events. Please note that many government services and banks are closed on a public holiday in Thailand. This also applies to the Dutch embassy in Bangkok. And if a public holiday falls on a Sunday, then Monday is also a day off.
Living as a Single Farang in the Jungle: Wan Song Ta Yai, the Vegetarian Festival

Tags: Vegetarian Festival, Vegetarians
