Are bars closed all day n nite in bkk on 10th

the bars are closed today and reopen tomorrow.  if you really need a beer, you can usually find a place in patpong.  i know a place there that is open on every buddha holiday.  if you need info, pm me.

Some of the bars on Soi Cowboy plan to open late around 10 - 11 pm and then begin selling alcohol at midnight.  At least that's the plan.  I was in one last night when the mamasan made that announcement to the staff.

The ban on alcohol sales ends at midnight. Some places will resume sales a little earlier.

That alcohol ban thread took long to surface

Closed.

One of the highest Buddhist holidays.

It would indeed be possible that they open before midnight and serve alc after midnight.

As an early bird I always forget the night owls.

Where on Patpong would be open?  Something like Black Pagoda, is that a good bet?
