February 26, 201016 yr The holiday, Makha Bucha Day, which is a major Buddhist holiday, actually falls on Sunday, February 28. Since the holiday falls on a Sunday, the banks, government offices, and many businesses will be closed on Monday, March 1. I have not yet heard whether the bars will also close or, if they do close, whether it will be Sunday, Monday, or both. Last year it was left up to the individual bars to close or remain open for this holiday, their choice. Whether it will be the same this year remains to be seen. Usually, when bars are ordered to be closed, they are not officially informed until about 24 hours before. This is a Buddhist holiday. It has nothing to do with the Thaksin case.
