2017 Bank Holidays and Observances as announced and observed by the Bank of Thailand (BOT):

Note: As last year, sometimes the government announces additional holidays or amendments to holidays. However, these need to go thru an approval process by BOT for banks to take them. So this is BOT's list of Bank holidays
