April 1, 20197 yr Having enjoyed my first trip so much last December, I am now planning another trip to BKK again. I am going to have a couple weeks off end of this month into early May. But I am still a bit worried about conditions in BKK in light of recent general elections.
April 1, 20197 yr Things should be fine...your possible dates encompass the coronation of the King...may mean some closures, etc.
April 1, 20197 yr Author Oops, bad timing then? I just googled it and came to realize that I should have planned a different time. Another lesson learned! nothing should have been planned without consulting to my seniors here.
April 1, 20197 yr I think it would be neat to be there during the coronation. I'd be more concerned that it will be a billion degrees
April 2, 20197 yr Don’t worry I think it will be good timing. Songkran will be well over by a couple of weeks. By unfortunate timing, I have to visit for work on 15 April which means all the boys will be completely exhausted from the festivities. Luckily I only stay two days and return in late May/early June for a proper visit. At least when you get there they’ll be rested and fresh. The coronation may cause some bar closures but am pretty sure massage places will be less affected and the apps should be lively.
April 2, 20197 yr Author I just hope that the guys will be back to work from their Songkram holidays..

April 2, 20197 yr Arriving 19 April for 10 days. Stay tune for newbie reports of all the new bars etc.

I can assure you that all bar owners that I know have heard nothing. Or are you basing it on the last election 69 years ago?
April 2, 20197 yr Coronation of the King is a time of celebration and merry making as well as making merit. Clink your glasses and enjoy! The bars will only close during his cremation. Long live the King!
April 2, 20197 yr Interesting...I used the word “closures” in replying to the OP. Admittedly, I should have written “road closures”, my fault. But the commentators responses went to bars and alcohol... So, I rewrite my reply - you shouldn’t have a problem and there will be celebratory mood as the coronation happens during your visit. Possible problem will be an increase in visitors and some road closures near the coronation area.
