The government has asked public and private organisations preparing to produce 2017 calendars to wait for changes in public holidays involving the monarch.
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said it will take some time to determine new public holidays following the passing of His Majesty the King. He advises organisations that want to produce 2017 calendars and diaries to wait for changes to be announced.
"The government understands this may inconvenience those who want to produce calendars for next year and is sorry about the problems as determining new public holidays will take some time," he said.
Mr Wissanu said three or four holidays will need to be changed and the changes must be made by the cabinet. The cabinet will decide if some public holidays will stay the same.
Government sources said public holidays concerning the late King include Coronation Day on May 5, and His Majesty's birthday on Dec 5.
