it was suggested Monday 4 May be declared a public holiday as well to create a 5 day weekend to promote tourism, never heard if it was passed by parliament in the end or not

Yes, this appears to be correct...that May 4th will be a holiday too.

In addition, last week, the government announced Monday, 4 May, 2015, to be an extra holiday with the objective of promoting tourism as a long holiday, from 1-5 May, would encourage Thais to travel and would boost the economy.
