Same, same in Pattaya.
The bars here had their music off & lights out

1st time I'm here on a religious holiday & find it very strange compared to how it is normally.

Before visiting Los, I looked up on public holidays to avoid crowds & strangely Budha Day is not a public holiday.
So I was caught by surprise.

I'm not a budhist so quite ignorant of their practises. May have to change that if I decide to stay in Thailand for longer periods.

While Sinkie guys serve NS, Thai guys serve as Buddhists monks.

I shared an apartment in the US with 3 school friends in my uni days. They were a Thai, a Taiwanese and a Japanese guys. My Thai friend served as a Buddhist monk for 2 years before going to uni.
