No. It's a holiday.

Thanks. I was going to go there tomorrow and do my 90 day report.  Didn't realize it was the King's Birthday until I saw a news item about Thais grabbing lottery numbers associated with the date.

Just been told by a restaurant and a 7-11 that there is an alcohol ban tomorrow for the new king's birthday

Unlikely, no official alcohol ban tomorrow.

That's what I thought. Just found it strange that two separate places have just said there is a ban

The next official bar closure day will be Oct 6th.

End of Buddhist Lent Day (Wan Awk Phasa).

 

Royal Funeral, H. M. The King Rama IX
The Royal funeral for HM King Rama IX, October 25 to 29.   The cremation will on October 26 which will be a public holiday.   No official announcement as yet, but I expect the 26th especially will be an alcohol ban day along with many shops choosing to close.

My SCB calendar says Thursday 5th October is Ork Phansa.

How otherwise could we celebrate his birthday.
