.c(X;U,r(I.O&g8h$y3e%t8eFOB Business Forum  Generally people in Thailand do not work on Saturday and so planning meetings would generally revolve around week days. It is advisable not to travel to Thailand for business purposes during Songkran, and we would recommend adding 5 - 10 days each side before making a business trip, and definitely reconfirm before travelling.
