We will land in Chiang Mai on the 5th of May and I notice on my Thai Calendar (courtesy of Thai Visa) that it is Coronation Day with the Monday the 7th as a day in lieu, my question is will the shops night bazaar etc all be closed on that day or will it be like a normal day for trading. Many Thanks.

Normal trading day for the Night Bazaar and all the shops, but expect the banks to be closed. ATM's not a problem.......

If it is a 'wan yuut karachagan' (I think it is) then the banks, Post Office, schools and anybody else who wants to... will close for sure. Make sure your business is done before Monday, I'd say.

And get the booze in early!
