To save me venturing out for a G & T, can someone confirm if bars are open?

Last night at 9 PM Hua Hin Police Department issued a letter that asked all entertainment venues (including bars and restaurants) not to service any alcohol today. So there is a lot of confusion as it is not prohibited. This is only in Hua Hin, BKK - even Cha Am have no restrictions. Since it was only issued last night, I'm sure a lot of bars will serve today...on top not prohibited and just asking for collaboration. Another fantastic, timely move by the BiB.... :banghead:

Cheers,
B.

Some venues closed, some ignore and some are using plastic cups....like I said, a lot of confusion as the letter issued is not clear.

Cheers,
B.

UT, you asked the same question last year, and as most of the dates are cyclical, I doubt there will be much/any change next year.

It changes every year - it's a bit like Easter - lunar based and hard to work out for sure if you're not an expert..

Ok, to save you the trouble I did a quick Google search and found this “There are several Buddhist days that are of importance in the Thai year. Makha Bucha Day is one of these which occurs in February or March. In 2018 it is on March 1 and 2019 it is on March 21.”

No, should be next year for Makha Bucha Day or election (whatever comes first and if it ever happens).

Cheers,
B.

Sorry, have to correct myself.... :bow:

NEWSFLASH - just got the word that this Wednesday, October 24th 2018 will be a dry day (no :tsk: alcohol) due to the end of Buddhist Lent - Ook Pan Sa.

Cheers,
B.
