Thai Election 24 March 2019

[Tom Tit]

The election initially scheduled for 24 February 2019 will now be held on 24 March 2019. This is good news for myself, as I’ll be in BKK in February, but might cause others to want to rethink their travel/mongering plans.

 

(As far as I’m aware, bars and go-gos close (or at least can’t sell alcohol) on an Election Day (?).)

 

‘On 23 January 2019 the government announced that the long-awaited election would be held on 24 March 2019.’

Presume massage parlours & BJ bars would be open as normal?

Most likely.

Once I arrived in July on one of the Buddhist holidays and found a BJ bar open and was able to drink too.
