The cabinet, meeting in a special session, declared Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 September 2026 special public holidays for Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan. The government says the aim is safety and easier travel amid the current situation in the capital area. Expressway tolls on the listed Bangkok-area routes are waived until 24.00 on 29 September. Check how your shifts, deliveries and staff leave fall on those two days, and whether your business is covered by the holiday. The article does not say whether private-sector employers must close, so confirm with your labour rules and staff before planning. The article does not give the reason in detail.
