If Public Holiday falls on weekends, (in lieu) on workday
Despite the wording, this usually only applies to Monday only for holidays, consecutive holidays all have their own special in lieu declared separately.
As featured in Decree on Holidays No. 386: - Saturdays and Sundays shall be restdays each week. - In-Lieu holidays shall be given if it fall on the weekends.
Although in-lieus has been de facto observed since at least 2012.
Limitations
- Laotian holidays only works from 1976 onwards, and are only 100% accurate from 2018 onwards.
- Laotian Lunar Calendar Holidays only work from 1941 (B.E. 2485) onwards until 2157 (B.E. 2701) as we only have Thai year-type data for cross-checking until then.
