Hi there, according to the calendar, there is Vassa Day on July 22nd, which is a Monday.  So the bars and restaurants are allowed to serve alcohol up until midnight on the day before (Sunday 21st) is that correct. I believe its a Buddhist holiday. 

This term "Vassa" surprised me. Correct for some countries but never heard here.

In Thailand it's usually referred to as "Wan Khao Phansa" (transcripts differ).

And your calendar is somewhat wrong as Khao Phansa is on 21st of July this year, a Sunday.

 

Just trying to figure out what date is correct

Wait for more..

As far as I remember bars can open on the 20th until midnight.

Long weekend, terrible influx and traffic chaos at the known hotspots.

 

 

Nowt wrong with some tidy BKK flange coming to patts to sell their wares.

 

Love long weekend public holidays !!

I consulted THE reference (https://www.myhora.com)

And it's all more complicated.

 

Saturday 20 July:  Asanha Bucha Day

Sunday 21 July:     Khao Phansa Day

Monday 22 July:   compensation day

 

I feel OK to be corrected but both July 20 and 21 are alcohol ban days.

A complete lost weekend for the entertainment businesses.

I had edited after your quote but yes it will be long weekend with big influx from Bangkok to Pattaya.

The topic starter did not mention he is Pattaya.

Isn't it a bit risky to wait until the last moment? The shelves may be empty by the time you get there.
