onnut Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Bars are open and serving alcohol tomorrow in Bangkok. Silom is having a whole weekend of street festivals so it should be a good few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurvoon8 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I am going Bangkok tomorrow. Where is this weekend shops in Silom? Is is near the BTS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microwave Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I've heard, but can't confirm, that all of Silom from the Rama IV intersection to Narathiwat Rd. will become a walking street. So yes, if true, then the area of Silom where the Saladaeng BTS is located will be included in the walking street. I don't know what the hours of the walking street will be.

elshaheen Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Technically, it is a religious holiday for Thai Buddhist’s, but as far as bars being open. Well, from my experience, some are and some are not. Just go there and look and inquire. Some will have a special room in a part that cannot be viewed by passer byers or it might be open in one part and serving grape juice with steak and potatoes. But, just go and inquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaiyenyen Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I was around suk soi 4 and cowboy last night. Talking with the girls, it apperars that some bars will be closed, but I'm sure enough will be open to ensure a good night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roiethome Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 It all depends if the bars have made a contribution to the local constabulary some will, some wont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Depends on how hard up the owner is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberBraun Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have been told many bars will be closed, and that was by the girls that work in the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Often, the bar owners themselves don't know until the day of the holiday. The police usually show up mid-day to let them know. Sometimes it will depend on the police district involved. There have been instances when Nana bars were closed and Cowboy bars allowed to stay open.
