The 27th being the holiday in leiu of Songkran will give the Thais a 4 day holiday ie: 25/28th.

These days are not alcohol free days so bars will be open as normal.

The carnage on the road should get back to normal I would think

Anyone caught ignoring the alcohol ban faces a fine or up to 10,000 baht, 6 months in prison or both

All those of you who enjoy a drink - you have my sympathy. Here in Siem Reap, alcohol always available - no "off" days!!

Why are you drinking beer out of water glasses?

 

I mean it would be illegal if the glasses were advertising beer, even though there is beer in them.

 

No further comment on ridiculousness..................:thumbsup:

Is today a Buddha day or not?

 

I hear both yes it is and no it isn't.

 

Are the bars closed today and Sunday or Sunday and Monday?

Sunday and Monday.

 

 

Sunday is Asanha Bucha Day and Monday is the start of Buddhist lent (Khao Pansa).

Interesting, so google has got it wrong?

 

The day is known as both Asanha Bucha and Asanha Bucha according to what I've read.

 

From a google search for "Asanha Bucha"

I've seen all sorts reported about this weekend.

 

The WikiPedia article reports it as being on the 5th.

 

As far as I was concerned Asanha Bucha is today as reported by google and others and the actual work day off is carried forward to Monday and the Lent day is Sunday with its day off carried forward to Tuesday on account of them falling on the weekend.

 

I think any confusion was introduced by google which many people rely on.

Change your search preferences................................... to Wiki:-

Supported by the full moon timing:-

 

July 5, 2020
 
When is the Next Full Moon? The next full Moon will be early Sunday morning, July 5, 2020,
 
 
Khao Pansa is Monday:-
 
 
 
 
 
Sunday and Monday are the no selling of alcohol days.................................. drink as much as you like, but people just can't sell it.

Thailand’s Department of Disease Control has confirmed the nationwide alcohol ban

Is alcohol drinking now regarded as a disease in Thailand?

 

(Pecksniffs can save their energy, by not replying,  as I already know what you will write).

Confused posters who have no proper calendar and some news thread with misleading info from an official.

I gave up to argue against the "4th/5th" error.

Every proper calendar shows holidays on 5 and 6.

 

Be prepared for crowds at the liquor stores/departments today.

Avoid it!

 

 

Had one lady who works in a bar tell my friend it was Friday/Saturday (3rd/4th).
