John 1 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Jimmy please STOP posting all the holiday dates I'm tired of sleeping in. Better to just tell me it's Sunday then I can go and pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey John, I will try to respond to this again, my attempt last night caused the power to go down~!!! The main reason I post these holidays is to give those especially needing to visit Samui Immigration fair warning ... that it will be closed.... because anyone doing after due date gets dinged 500 baht a day, if late ~! (even if it's a holiday!) I think we'd rather our friend there at SI does not get that extra money! You are lucky you can sleep in, I rarely can or do!

Nope, no beer for sale on Friday. Beer for sale in every place! :-) In fact the only place not selling any beer was the Family Mart who had a sign on the fridge saying you could not buy any. No problem at all though, everywhere else was selling and fun was had by all anyway as far as could see :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The local Thai shops have always ignored the laws on this one - even the drought times (before 11 am and from 2 - 5 pm) Tesco/Big C - no booze for sale - the foreign places usually obey the laws. I drink at home - so not a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsamui Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 When I first learned that the Thai people in general had no annual holidays, I felt quite sorry for them. Ahhhhh - poor Thai people I thought. Then I found out that they have these odd days now and again. Then I added them all up and found that they total more than the average 2-week-plus holiday allowance in proper countries. Now I don't feel so sorry for them. Anyway I'm glad the Thai nation doesn't get a national holiday period like the Italians do. Can you imagine no alcohol for three weeks?

It's only Thailand that the government knows if the workers get a day off they spend it guzzling lao kao till they fall over and can't walk for two days. Much in the same style as a 4th year school disco . . . but with crucifying karaoke instead of dilated puking pupils.
