July 12, 200818 yr 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.
July 16, 200818 yr 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.
July 17, 200818 yr Several of the food markets, including the one in Jomptien, has roped off their liquor department. Some have not and are open for business.
