pdogg Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 May 24th is a Buddhist holy day. It might depend on the region if a bar can stay open or stay open without booze sales. Anyone know what's happening this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 On this Buddah Day last year the bars here in Jomtien were closed. I had party on the beach with LB's ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiamSam Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 That poster was on my wall as a teenager. Stayed there for over a decade until I moved. I still have it somewhere in the basement. I should dig it out and remount the classic. And Dylan was right. From then until now them times certainly did change... HAPPY 72nd BIRTHDAY MR. DYLAN.

Dig out your poster, It was designed by Milt Glaser who designed the much copied and pastiche "I Love New York" logo. Could be worth something on ebay. !

Swedeman007 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 There are always a few bars open even on Vesak day. I have even seen police drinking in bars during Buddhist holidays. I am sure the bar is probably owned by the police. -Swedeman007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke007 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 There is a party at Famous Bar , also heard a little rumour that a knock on the door will get you in La Bamba There is also a crew of us meeting up at Sensations around 8ish before heading off to Jomtien Beach to watch the girls play volleyball (or if 360 has his way we will have a team to play against them ), I purchased a bikini last night for one particular lady, should be fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB, Lefty, Janabiyah and I used to watch the Pook girls play V-Ball on Pattaya Beach and the So What girls in a lot on Soi 6/1. But at this time of night, Jomtien Beach is a bit more deserted so might make for more interesting hijinks! Wish I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bamba Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 There is a party at Famous Bar , also heard a little rumour that a knock on the door will get you in La Bamba There is also a crew of us meeting up at Sensations around 8ish before heading off to Jomtien Beach to watch the girls play volleyball (or if 360 has his way we will have a team to play against them ), I purchased a bikini last night for one particular lady, should be fun Hate to burst the bubble, but La Bamba will be closed tonight, even to knocks on the door from friends. I just talked to Nok and Annie, and they were surprised by the po-po crackdown last night; apparently no bar owners were expecting to have to close at midnight last night. So they don't feel it's worth the risk, and the bar will be closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
