EricTh Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know whether the eateries and supermarkets (like Makro) will be open during this Songkran festival 13-15 Apr? OR do we have to cook Mama noodles ourselves? I usually go out of Thailand to escape the water splashing madness but this year, I am stuck due to the pandemic.

Crossy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The public holidays have been postponed. So everything "should" operate as normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a yard or garden, sit under a sprinkler while you eat your bowl of noodles. Voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 How many are wishing they could complain about the "waste of water" instead of living under a curfew? ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I've been here in CM for umpteen Songkrans and I've never witnessed restaurants or grocery stores closing during Songkran (excepting a few mom and pop places where the owners took a short vacation to go to their home villages to celebrate). Obviously the OP hasn't been around here before during Songkran holidays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trujillo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 You are aware of this virus thing, aren't you CMBob? We've already been warned not to have any fun on the holiday. However, there are (water tossing) pails for sale at BigC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
