Civil servants will have four days off over Songkran, and will not get an extra holiday on April 17 when they will be required to return to work.
The official Songkran period is Friday April 13 to Monday April 16, inclusive.
PM's office deputy spokesman Pakdihan Himathongkam said his office had received a number of inquiries from officials of various agencies seeking clarification on whether the cabinet would include April 17 as part of Songkran celebrations.
The issue was not raised during the cabinet meeting today, he said.
Under the law, civil servants are entitled to a consecutive four-day holiday period. Therefore, they will have only four days off during the Thai New Year, and will resume work on April 17, Mr Pakdiharn said.
