Saw in friendship pattay alcoholic drinks not sell the 21st(Budhaday) and also the 23rd en 24th due elections

Not only on the 22nd and the 23rd because of pre-elections for the Senate, but also on the 1st and 2nd of March because of the real senate elections. So that's another 2 dry weekends.

From PC News

2 day bar closure this weekend due to Senate Elections and Religious Holiday.

On Tuesday Morning at Pattaya City Hall a seminar for election workers took place in preparation for the first two days of voting for the Senate or Upper House Elections. On 23rd of this month those who reside in Pattaya but are registered in another province will be able to vote in this first phase of voting. Unfortunately, this will mean that bars and other late night entertainment venues will have to close from 6pm on 22nd until Midnight on 23rd. This election also coincides with Maka Bouscha Day on 21st February when bars are expected to close in observance of this religious holiday. The seminar explained to the election workers their individual jobs and how the election day will be organized to ensure they are working in accordance with regulations set by the Election Commission

The above is probably correct.

Pre-elections normally run both Saturday and Sunday, meaning a closure from Friday 6PM till Sunday midnight.

Add to that today's religious public holiday and you end up with 4 days alcohol free time, with a little reprieve Friday daytime (till 6PM).

Next weekend there will be the normal elections on Sunday the 2nd, so again Saturday from 6 PM till Sunday midnight alcohol free...

Again? ok, i am off to the Supermarket to stock up.
