clivebaxter Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Not being a holiday went out to local Krungsri bank, closed. Went to central the whole place was shut, thought banks, pharmacies etc were meant to be open? Went to big C all the banks were closed. Did notice one K bank on the drive home which looked like it was open. Is this the holiday that was not meant to be which then got ignored? This is suburbs of Bangkok. Wil they be open Friday?

Crossy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Many branches are shut 'coz of covid, our branch of SCB is open (Northern BKK) and was packed earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 You are apparently in one of the 13 provinces that are in "lockdown". Banks in malls and departments stores have been closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Maybe a Buddhist holiday today? Beginning of Lent or Beginning of Vassa? Also tomorrow King's birthday. Edited July 27, 2021 by phetphet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the booze was on sale anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil they be open Friday? Suburbs of Bangkok, deep red zone. The original order was that all state/government banks (which KTB is one) in malls have to close. Why all private banks followed? Not a holiday today but tomorrow (28). All closed. Thursday and Friday banks outside the malls (roadside) should be open like the Kasikorn you saw today.

ThaIrish Sean Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 In a pandemic close all the branches except one so everybody flocks to that branch. No social distancing. Thai logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
