Don't forget to give them a day off on Friday 11 of July.... that's a holiday too....

This is the thread I could not find the other day!

Friday (July 11) and Monday (July 14th) are government holidays and immigration will be closed and I assume Thai embassy/consulates.

I can't stand it anymore!

All these holidays!

Driving me nuts!

At least in England I can get sozzled all the time.

Here, half the time when I get another holiday day, the bars are closed.

And now it's extra holiday days - free!

Feelgood days!

Dunno coming or going!

ARGH!

Do all the bars normally close on Samui during these holidays ??

I was hoping to get off the boat tomorrow night for a few drinks

Surely there must be a few in Chaweng ignoring the rules !!

Plus don't forget that the sale of alcohol will be banned on Friday and Saturday as they are two important Buddhist holidays.

The booze ban will be effective for 48 hours from 12:01am on Friday to midnight on Saturday.

Better nip out to 7-11 for your prune juice before midday.

Only the red letter days are holidays here in Thailand, so everything should be "business as usual"....

I am not sure about New Years Day, I must stop at a Bank and get a new calendar

..... what an exciting way to spend Christmas!
