Long weekends in Myanmar, 2026
9 runs of three days or more, including the ones you only get by taking a single bridge day off. Computed on a Monday–Friday week. The corpus holds Sunday as this jurisdiction’s statutory weekly rest — compiled — but a labour code names the day it guarantees, not the days custom adds, so it is cited above rather than computed from.

How we know this
Every layer this corpus carries, whether it exists for Myanmar, how many records, how each is graded and when it was last looked at. The record rather than the data — enough to check a claim before relying on it.

The Myanmar dossier
Not sure what you get? Read the New Zealand dossier or Saint Helena — complete documents, free, no account.
4 of 24 dated closures were read from the instrument itself; the rest come from independent secondary sources or published compilations. Across 6 named sources, and every row says which.
Contents are emitted when the dossier is compiled, so this list and the PDF cannot disagree.

We do not promise a calendar that never changes. Dates move: authorities declare holidays at short notice and publish corrections of their own. Every record here shows what stands behind it, and when a date changes we correct it, publish it, and tell the people it affects.
