The first week of June is off to a somewhat unproductive start. Unless you are a self-motivating powerhouse with productivity bursting out at the seams, starting the week on Monday, June 1, with a public holiday (a substitute for Visakha Bucha), makes it a bit harder to assess your Google Calendar and plan for deep work.
It’s even harder when Wednesday, June 3, is also a public holiday to celebrate Queen Suthida's Birthday.
As Thais, we have long been conditioned to enjoy almost monthly public holidays, endlessly bookmarking our weeks with random mid-week off days and gap days, where going back to our desks for one day just seems slightly redundant.
