Public holidays in Thailand

Public holidays in Thailand are regulated by the government, and most are observed by both the public and private sectors. There are usually 16 public holidays in a year, but more may be declared by the cabinet. The actual number of holidays for the individual is determined by the nature of the organization for which they work, i.e., public, private, institutions governed by the Bank of Thailand, or state-owned enterprises (excluding financial institutions).

On average, workers in the first three groups are entitled to 14 holidays, while state-owned enterprise workers enjoy up to 15 holidays (or more). If a holiday falls on a weekend, one following workday is observed as a compensatory holiday. The Bank of Thailand regulates bank holidays, which differ slightly from those observed by the government. Other observances, both official and non-official, local and international, are observed to varying degrees throughout the country.

Military designation of days and hours

The military designation of days and hours within the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), is specified in AAP-6 (STANAG 3680), NATO Glossary of Terms and Definitions, and marked (NATO) in what follows. Those entries marked (US) are specific to the U.S., and defined only in Joint Publication JP 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.

References to days (or hours) preceding or following a designated day (or hour) use a plus or minus sign and an Arabic numeral following the letter. For example, "D−3" is 3 days prior to D-day, "C+7" is 7 days after C-day, "H−2" is 2 hours before H-hour, and so forth. In less formal contexts, the time is usually spelled out, so that "D−3" becomes "D minus three" or "D minus 3".
