moo9 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 This weekend (Monday) will be the Buddhist Lent day. As I have some friend from abroad visiting Pattaya I would like to know, whether bars will be closed one day or whether there will be restrictions on alcoholic beverages? Anybody knows? Thanks Moo9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungabunga Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Moo 9, some bars are closed on both Sunday 29th & Monday 30th July, so you are advised to drink as much as you possibly can tonight and tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Bear Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 hmmmm lets see LENT...dict.com: ...an annual season of fasting and penitence... duh. Quite right - it is a religious event for contemplation and revival of religious vows. The fact that non-Buddhists are asking about closures of various businesses does not detract from the observance that most Buddhists will give to this event.

vickersvc10 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Yesterday I was told by a post office official that the main P.O. in South Pattaya will NOT close over this holiday period. In fact, for basic postal services, it is open every day until 8PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Moo9 I am told that it is the anniversary of Buddha's first sermon. Maybe that is a sort of Lent, but not a food/smoking/drinking sort of fast - just the consideration of what you have done over the past and what you should do in the future.
