bbi1 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Friday 20th is the religious holiday day where alcohol won't be served, well, maybe except Pattaya. Will clubs in BKK be opened on Friday night & be able to sell alcohol after 12:01am? Eg. RCA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbi1 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 By the lack of response it looks like either nobody knows, drinks alcohol or goes to clubs or all three! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Sumo Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 It's just that, without fail, every religious holiday, some tourist starts a thread about the availability of alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawaz455 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thank you bbi1 for the notification. I had planned to visit the Embassy in Bangkok on the Friday, but after a quick email, was informed of their closure on that day. Rescheduling - again thanks.

NoshowJones Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I don't drink or frequent bars, so it does not affect me, but it just shows you again the Thai mentality of shutting down places where alcohol is served in the name of religion. I think it is wrong to shut down bars when tourists travel all the way to Thailand for holidays, then find that on one or two nights they cannot go out for their entertainment.

MrDK Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) As I have a vested interest I am not allowed to post a link, but there is a web page that keeps track of bar closure days. I think a Google/Yahoo/Bing search using these key words will do: Bar closures Thailand Edited May 18, 2016 by MrDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the West we have the balls and freedoms to tell our jumped up politicians/religious leaders what to do with their archaic laws if we fancy a pint.... The last time I recall widespread pub closures in the UK was on the day of the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, and even then it was voluntary (couldn't see that happening in Thailand - too many stuffed shirts who get a perk-on inflicting their wills on the masses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US, the only days that bars and nightclubs are closed are on the days that the ownership decides it wants to be closed. Every day of the year, including major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, you'll find drinking establishments that are open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The someone above has got it wrong, I worked as a musician all my adult life in the UK, and I do not remember being told a gig is off in any club during Easter.
