There will be no alcohol served in bars on Monday 4 May 2012. Many bars will not be open and some restaurants will close. Note- many western hotels and restaurants will serve alcohol. Most stores will not sell alcohol at any point during the day.
Monday is a Buddhist Holiday- Visakha Bucha Day.
The alcohol ban is very different on a Buddhist Holiday than on the government imposed “dry days” at elections- many restaurants, bars and convenience stores do not want to sell alcohol on a Buddhist Holiday; the result is that alcohol will be much harder to find on a Buddhist Holiday than a government imposed dry day.

I began working in Bangkok during 2008- a time that featured a great deal of political unrest in Thailand and particularly Bangkok.
I had lived in San Francisco for 15 years and was working on a project in Thailand. Generally, I spent 2 weeks in Bangkok and then 3-4 weeks in San Francisco. Did Bangkok begin to feel like home? Yes, and No. Bangkok and the Thai culture forced me to feel many things, the change in culture and environment was so dramatic it forced the decision- embrace or ignore.
I embraced and made Bangkok my home and base in 2009. I have enjoyed living in Bangkok, experiencing Thailand and the entire ASEAN region. I moved to Singapore in 2016...fallen behind on this blog since.
