doctormann Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Monday 19/05 is Visakha Bucha day. There is a rumour going round that this means that bars and entertainment venues will have to close at 18:00 on Sunday and remain closed through Monday. Can someone confirm this, or otherwise? Thanks, DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBF Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 A manager of a bar I frequent confirms this, however she thinks that they won't have to close on Sunday night, just all day and all night Monday, unlike the Election closures. As usual in LoS everything is clear as mud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, DM If the Bars and Clubs close on a Monday where you come from is it really that big of a deal? Why is it even worth mentioning in Pattaya?

Barry well ob not to you, but to many it is worth mentioning, many have to sort out staff etc and keep within the law, many again will say well if you cant do without a beer for a day etc, but again in most cases its not that, its the lack of knowledge, coupled with the inaccurate knowledge that makes you close shop, organise a day out with staff etc to find out everywhere is still open apart from you! so no barry it aint a big deal, just nice to know one way or another and here in pattaya this Tv forum happens to be the most relible. chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Bars will NOT have to close! (most probably, maybe, who knows ...) Banks and government offices will be closed. It is being left up to individual bar owners whether or not to serve alcohol during this religious holiday. At the time of going to press, a police spokesman said that it is not mandatory for bars to close. From the Pattaya Mail article here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
