It seems so as it is a Buddhist holiday that unfortunately coincides with Valentine's day.

Darkside report - My missus phoned the cops yesterday on behalf of a bar owner we know, they said that as of yesterday they had not had any instructions from the "big police" and so was it ok to open. Of course time will tell....

I'm sure the 'usual suspects" in Pattaya will be open as per....

There was a sign up near the door at Foodland today, that they can't sell alcohol from 12am today till 12am tomorrow.

Planning, planning. I hit the go-gos today and have a good supply at home.

The question is, do the bars close tonight at midnight? Or can they remain open to 2 am (legally)?

Did you know that a few years ago, National elections were set for Christmas day, which would make Christmas even and Christmas day both dry days ?

It was only a few weeks before Christmas that they were canceled, and moved to another date.

Well it's tomorrow already and I passed through a light rain shower just outside Bangkok around 7am this morning so it's not that dry.

Update: One Pattaya bar I know that tends to be free of the fetters of law (being attached to hotel, helps) served their last drink at midnight last night after a last minute call to the boss. Buakhao was eerily quiet.
