Thai Holidays 16-17 July

Hi people

 

Can anyone fill me in on what these holidays I've heard mention of will entail?  Any booze ban in force?

Good question

 

I was looking i thought there was a "useful"pinned notice re holidays and these irritating infernal dry Buddhist days  somewhere but cant find nothing

I have friends visiting on 16/17 and they are certainly leaning towards drinking than temples for sure

16th will be a dry day as it is a Buddhist holiday.

I'm seeing on line that 16th is Asalha Bucha, and 17th is Buddhist Lent, and both are National holidays.

Seems that you are correct, just asked the Thai staff.

Next Tuesday and Wednesday... likely will be difficult to get a lot of stuff done the entire week.  Immigration will suck extra hard.
