Department of Water Resources Marks Queen Mother’s Birthday and National Mother’s Day

On August 12, 2026, the Department of Water Resources (Region 7) held commemorative activities to mark the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, which coincides with Thailand’s National Mother’s Day. According to an official report from the Department of Water Resources, staff members participated in ceremonies to express their loyalty and gratitude to the Queen Mother.

For residents and travelers in Thailand, August 12 is a significant public holiday. Government offices, including those under the Department of Water Resources, typically close for the day to observe the national celebration. Travelers should be aware that while major tourist attractions generally remain open, public services and administrative offices will be unavailable during this time.

As this event is a recurring annual national observance, it serves as a reminder of the cultural importance of the date in the Thai calendar. While the Department of Water Resources has confirmed their participation in these local commemorative activities, specific details regarding potential changes to water management operations or public access to departmental facilities during the holiday period were not disclosed in the official announcement. Visitors planning to visit government-affiliated sites or offices around this date in future years should anticipate similar closures and plan their itineraries accordingly.
