The 13th is a religious holiday, Vesak, so alcohol sales are officially banned. However, you should have little problem finding alcohol sold under the counter.

Some of the bars loosely affiliated with hotels were open, and serving alcohol, on Sukhumvit Soi 4 as of 11:30 AM today when I drove by: Golden Bar (Nana Hotel), YouThere and Hillary 1 (Raja Hotel car park) were I few I noticed. Most others were shuttered.
