Wan Awk Phansa this Thursday October 17th.

To celebrate the ending of Buddhist Lent --- NO alcohol!

There is also a Special Day for Rama 9 tomorrow (14th).

 

I don't know if it will affect businesses, but daughter has a day off school. Although many other schools have already broken up for half term.

The actual memorial day is today, tomorrow is only the substitution day.  Banks and schools etc. closed, bars open.

The Thai calendar issued by Krungsri Bank gives it the English name "End of Bhuddist Lent Day"

 

Wikipedia uses the romanised name "Wan Ok Phansa"
