My Thai wife tells me no drinking this 3 day w/e starting today but our local bar in Udon Thani was open and thriving this morning (friday) so whats the story ?

The story might be that your wife is either confused or very well informed

Sunday is Queens birthday ("mother's day"), a public holiday but not known for alcohol ban in the past.

So far I found absolutely no clue for any ban this weekend.

 

Of course being open today (Friday) is no indication.

Today is a normal working day.

The three day long weekend is Sat to Mon (11 to 13).

Mon 13 substitute holiday, offices closed.
