Thailand’s Cabinet has decided to maintain August 12th as a national public holiday. The date commemorates the birth anniversary of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, and serves as a national commemorative day in her honor. Deputy Government Spokesperson Ploythale Laksmisangchan announced the decision after Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting. This ensures the continued recognition of the late Queen’s significant contributions to the nation. The holiday allows citizens to pay respects and remember her legacy. The move confirms that August 12th will remain a day of national observance and public rest.
