It’s on: Cabinet grants five-day weekend in May

An extra holiday was approved by the junta-appointed cabinet this afternoon, giving everyone a five-day holiday starting May 1.

The decision to make May 4 a holiday bridges the three-day weekend from Labor Day on Friday, May 1, through Coronation Day on Tuesday, May 5.

By our math, that makes for a five-day weekend. Take it or leave it.

Either way, expect the party scene to capitalize on these extra days and check Coconuts for where to go and what to do.
