According to the article, Koh Larn is a stunning island.

The color of the water from the algae bloom from the nitrogen runoff is stunning, they say. ????

Are banks closed throughout this period too? I need to send money to a Thai friend's account but it appears he will have to wait.

Sent money from UK bank on Friday and Tee Rak received it in Bangkok Bank yesterday (Monday).

And in the news soon, Thai GDP drops due to all factory and business closures over the extended holidays. Not what a country needs, but hell, at least they are happy over the 6 days of holidays.
