Many thanks in advance

Poppy day? Don't you mean Remembrance Sunday?

Sviss Geez, what a well considered and carefully crafted answer! OP asked a simple question and was hoping for a sensible response which you so carefully managed to avoid, so I shall try to help. Most of the expat pubs will have poppy boxes, depending (op) where you are staying, the Crossbar pub down past Soi Cowboy will almost certainly have them as will the The Robin Hood and The Royal Oak, both close to Villa supermarket by Emporium. The expat pub (forget the name, Black Swan???) at the bottom of Asoke BTS on the even number side will certainly have them. Failing all of that, send an email to http://tropicalberts.com/ who is one of the Royal British Legion organizers in Thailand.

By the way Sviss, if you are not British you may not know that many people refer to Remembrance Day as poppy day and thanks to the RBL, in the UK at least, Remembrance Day is observed at 11:00 on the 11 Day of the 11th month regardless of what day of the week it falls although the main service of remembrance is still observed on the Sunday closes to the 11th of November.

OP, I hope I have been of some help and wear your poppy with pride.

How fitting and the name says it all!

Many thanks Plane mad for your very helpful post. However the reply from the poster Sviss Geez sums up the reason I post so seldom on this forum. There are many posters whose posts are extremely useful and helpful but I am sorry to say that there are many others who seem to have little else to do with their lives than post sarcastic, rude and useless comments.

I shall certainly wear my Poppy with pride and gratitude on Remembrance DAY 11th November.
