Local business guidance
Standard Business Schedules
Corporate offices and government services operate Monday through Friday, while retail malls and dining venues operate seven days a week with later opening times.
Strict Banking Hours
Bank counter services close strictly at 15:30 on weekdays. Online banking and extensive ATM networks in convenience stores handle routine needs 24/7.
Public Holiday Observances
Government offices, banks, and corporate entities close on official national holidays. Lunar New Year causes multi-day closures for independent businesses.
Dining Variations
Traditional sit-down restaurants commonly pause between lunch and dinner. Early-morning breakfast shops and late-night markets offer food outside these windows.
Late-Starting Retail
Major department stores and shopping centers open around 11:00 AM, whereas street markets and night markets begin operations from late afternoon onward.
