I think most comments above are concerning bars/restaurants closing when they didn't have to, and the announcement being made very late.

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
I think if you read back through this thread, short notice notification is not unheard of. Problem this time is that there were too many believable scare/rumour/wind-up mongers second guessing what would happen.

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I shall be sober and you will still be ugly...
Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
Makha Bucha Day is March 1, but the date could vary by a few days. Definite the bars will be shut for that one. There are no others that I can see for the 1Q18. Pete

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
Checking 'other' sites, March 1st does indeed look like being the one and only bar closure day in the next qtr.

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
Don't forget, Thursday is Makha Bucha Day.
Thai Law states sale of alcohol is banned on this day.

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
One day when alcohol is a little more difficult to buy. Stock up, it may be the end of the world!
Seriously though, why does a 1 day closure get such a reaction.
I never had a drink yesterday, and so far today also. And I'm still alive!!

I've had one bottle of Federbrau since New Years Eve - I think I'm still breathing.
Seriously, some people enjoy a drink, and hate the surprise when they're told no. Hence the reminder, despite the previous posts talking about the same day.

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
It's more about the fact that alcohol sale is banned and bars are closed, it's an aggression in social life. Of course we can drink at home, but it's not the same as having a drink in a public place.
Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
There is no harm in taking your own to public places on Makha Bucha Day. It is the sale that is banned, not the consumption.

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
You are right, I know that. It's easy to take your bottle of whisky and ask for ice and soda or coke. But I want to see you taking your beer bottles in a cool box with ice and walking from one public place to another. Of course you can rent a sherpa.
Re: Has Hua Hin Traffic Reached Saturation Point?
Brace yourself as the last weekend of this month will be a very long weekend with Asarnha Bucha Day (booze free) on Friday and King Rama X birthday on Monday. So expect all of Bangkok to roll through Hua Hin again and second row park wherever the feck they want....
Speaking of alcohol free days, 27th (Asarnha Bucha) and 28th of July (Buddhist Lent Day) are as per law dry days so expect your favorite waterhole to be either closed or very empty! As always 7/11 and Co will follow so the mom & pop shops around the corner should have their annual economic pick-up.
Cheers,
B.

Re: Has Hua Hin Traffic Reached Saturation Point?
The last couple of Buddha days had the MIB warning the Mom and Pop shops nearby. And they did do some checks on the day.
