Appointment Landed on a Public Holiday
Hello. I recently went to extend my Non-O stay based on marriage, and got the appointment to collect the final stamp tomorrow - Feb 12. However, I realized just now tomorrow is a Thai public holiday. Is there a way to check if CW immigration will be open tomorrow? And in the case that it's not open, will I be penalized for going on the Feb 13 instead? Getting a bit worried... -

Help understanding how to price and list Buriram house
Just in general, do you think your house is similar to other houses with above description? Or did you spend a lot more on better quality material, work, etc.? I guess if your house is "nothing special" and you are willing to sell it for a similar price like comparable properties, then this should not be a big deal. But if you think your house is special (because it is actually built better in many ways), then I guess it will be difficult to sell it for a good price. -

Pattaya Prepares for Silent Night: Alcohol Ban Hits Tourists
Photo courtesy of Pattaya Mail Pattaya's vibrant nightlife is about to take an unexpected pause. To honor Makha Bucha Day, a significant Buddhist holiday, officials have imposed a strict alcohol ban. From 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on February 12, all businesses, including shops, pubs, and bars, are barred from selling alcohol. The Pattaya Police Department has issued a warning to all establishments, emphasizing compliance. Violators face fines of up to 10,000 baht or six months in prison. This measure is part of Thailand's tradition of respecting religious observances. While locals spend the day engaged in merit-making and visiting temples, many foreign tourists are caught off guard. Expecting to enjoy Pattaya’s renowned nightlife, visitors find themselves facing closed bars and dry restaurants, leading to widespread frustration. Business owners must navigate these regulations carefully or risk penalties. For further inquiries, establishments can reach out to Pattaya City Police Station at 038-420804-5. Despite the ban being temporary, many tourists question its necessity, especially in a major tourist hub like Pattaya. Meanwhile, business owners are pressing for change. They argue that the outdated 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. alcohol sales ban no longer makes sense. The push for reform gains momentum as a new bill to amend the alcohol beverage control law progresses in the House of Representatives. Kawee Sakawee, Chairperson of the Thai Alcohol Beverage Business Association, notes that the restriction was initially aimed to prevent civil servants from drinking during work hours, a rule he believes needs modernization. With the alcohol industry bringing in around 600 billion baht annually and contributing roughly 150 billion baht to government funds, updating the law could align with economic interests. While Thai residents have adapted to these regulations, the ban continues to pose challenges for international visitors looking to enjoy their stay, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-11 -
