In view of the confusion on Songkran dates for 2019 on another thread, I have attached the link to the DEFINITIVE list of public (government and bank holidays) in Thailand for 2019 as gazetted by the Bank of Thailand (this is as official as it gets folks).
https://www.bot.or.th/English/FinancialInstitutions/FIholiday/Pages/2019.aspx
Songkran, as usual, falls on 13, 14 and 15 April with an extra public holiday on Tuesday, 16 April 2019 as the first two Songkran days fall on a weekend next year. Water throwing can start as early as the 11th (as it does in Chiang Mai) and will usually end on the 15th, with the exception of Pattaya where it drags on and reaches it peak on the 19th. In the south, anywhere from Hua Hin downwards, Songkran is only celebrated for a day, on the 13th.
Moses/Jellybean might want to pin this up.
