CityNews – Here is a list of what we know is going on, and not going on in Chiang Mai over the coming months following the death of His Majesty the King, Bhumibol Adulyadej.

 

Markets

The Saturday and Sunday Night Markets are now operating as usual. (following reports they were to be closed which were repealed)

 

The Night Bazaar is open as usual.

 

NAP Market scheduled for December 5-11 has now been rescheduled to sometime in January 2017.

The Citylife Garden Fair on November 19 is still on.

 

Restaurants and Cafes

Almost all restaurants and cafes are open as usual, however some who usually have live music will not for the next month.

 

Nightlife

Alcohol has not been banned but some restaurants and bars maybe closed or not selling alcohol out of respect for the King.

Most venues will be not playing music, and most scheduled DJ sets or live bands have been cancelled until at least November 14.

 

Zoe in Yellow and other tourist areas are open as usual, but will be heavily toned down for the next month or so.

 

Warm Up Cafe and other clubs around the city are open as usual, but have no live bands or DJs performing. Some maybe closed and it is best to check ahead.

 

The Citylife Wine Crawl and almost all night time events over the next month have been cancelled. Please check the individual events status before you go.

 

Festivals

The Loy Kratong (Yi-Peng) festival has not been cancelled after the Governor repeals his first announcement. However, the event will have no entertainment planned. People are invited to join the tradition in a peaceful and quiet manner. Fireworks have been banned. We are still unsure if the Maejo Lantern Festival will continue as planned or not.
