Except for full moon days and other government-declared condolence days, all other days are considered regular working days. Full moon days are designated as public holidays to commemorate various events in Buddha’s life and other Buddhist-related occasions. Consequently, these full moon days are observed as dry days, meaning the sale and consumption of alcohol are prohibited in public areas such as bars. However, it’s worth noting that tourist board-approved star-class hotels are allowed to serve alcohol, but only through room service and not in public areas.
