Gaybutton Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Thursday, July 17 and Friday, July 18 mark two major Buddhist holidays in Thailand. July 17 is Asalaha Bucha Day. July 18 is Khao Pansaa, the more important of the two holidays. Khao Pansaa is the beginning of Buddhist Lent. On both days banks and government offices will be closed. Alcohol sales will not be permitted. I have no word yet as to whether the bars will be allowed to remain open if they serve only non-alcoholic beverages. Quote
Guest jomtien Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Well if i can't use the bank there's not much use for the bars! Quote
Guest Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Most of the bars I have spoken to say they are closed on both days. Not sure if it is the same in Boyztown as it is in Sunee. I know many boys are making plans to see family and friends for the 2 days off. Quote
Guest Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Several of the food markets, including the one in Jomptien, has roped off their liquor department. Some have not and are open for business. Quote

Guest muliama Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 You poor things in Pattaya In Bangkok....bars and booze as usual, albeit beer might be served in a coffee cup, or, like Telephone usually does, downstairs is soft drink and upstairs is free for all Quote
