Laos Public Holidays 2026

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
There are 12 national public holidays in Laos during 2026. This year 3 of them land on a Saturday or Sunday, so only 9 reduce the working week. There are 2 clear "bridge day" opportunities this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with New Year's Day on Thursday 1 January and closes with National Day on Wednesday 2 December.
