Some of the Siamese will, of course, take the opportunity to go home since their ethnic Chinese employers may have closed the business for the Chinese New Year, but the Siamese do not celebrate Chinese New Year, per se. The Siamese will celebrate only to the extent that they are happy to celebrate anything and everything. In September or October, as I was riding down Silom Road past the Hindu temple, they were having some massive festival with lots of Hindu idols laid out on makeshift altars along the road. It took forever for my motosai to negotiate that stretch of the road because it was completely packed with Thais who had shown-up to partake. The sight of Thai girls in Sarees with vermillion marks on their foreheads was rather sweet. Thai boys with vermillion marks on their cocks would be sweeter!

Surely they could have done it in off season. That's annoying. Usually quite a bit of eye candy there. Is it known how long it will be mostly closed?

You likely saw the Navaratri festival which the temple is famous for. Many aspects of Thai Buddhism are closer to Hinduism than orthodox Buddhism. 10 hours ago, Department_Of_Agriculture said: I love the way Thais embrace things and make them their own while staying true to what they are as a people An interesting twist is that Ganesha in Thailand is specifically associated with praying for $$$ and lottery luck. In orthodox Hinduism he is known as the remover of obstacles, while there is a prosperity element, it pertains to smooth starts to new businesses, the repayment of debts, receiving a promotion at work etc. Only the Thais blissfully show up with sugarcane and pineapples asking for magic lottery numbers.

January 31Jan 31 I stayed at Le Meridien last week. The pool is lovely and quiet, with a very nice bar. (You can see the King Power Mahanakhon building - the one with the "glass tray" skywalk - from poolside.) They resumed the pool area renovations the last day or two of my stay, but it was no problem. Only a small part of the poolside area - maybe 10%? - was blocked off, although I guess that could have changed since I left.

Doubting what to do now. I wouldn't worry and go ahead and book. Any inconvenience is very limited and due to be concluded in the next couple of days. Even so they have offered guests use of, and transport to, the pool at their sister hotel the W.
