Kings Birthday 5 December

[gerefan]

Anyone know what will be happening?

[Guest ryanasia]

Lots of ex pats will be stocking up on alcohol.

December 5 remains a public holiday as well as Father's Day this year.

Anyone has seen any change in the gay scene since the country is in mourning?

[Guest ryanasia]

Nothing of note has changed or you would have read a veritable shit storm about it by now.

Nothing of note has changed

 

That has been my observation too.  The only change I've seen has been the subdued music volume.  However the 30-day mourning period is just about over and the music volume will likely be ratcheted up again.

 

Other than that, I've seen no changes at all.

Bangkok Post online went back to color pages today and True cable went back to full normal programming today.

[Guest ryanasia]

Subdued music is quite welcome in my opinion.

[Guest whall]

Good to hear!

[Guest Promsak]

Nothing of note has changed

 

Except that for the past month, bars in the Patpong area (Silom etc.) have had to close at midnight, no outside light boxes and very subdued music.

That all changed on Sunday and everything is now back to normal.

Hurrah!  They should let the good old king rest in peace.

Evidently the mandatory month of mourning is over. So you can bring out your dancing shoes and play music that is entirely too loud with the bass completely distorted.
