It is advisable not to travel to Thailand for business purposes during Songkran, and we would recommend adding 5 - 10 days each side before making a business trip, and definitely reconfirm before travelling. Important Note: Government offices are usually closed on Public Holidays and on Mondays if the holiday take place during the weekend.
