Thai Government Announces End of 30-day Restriction on Public Entertainment and Festivities.
It's official, you can party on in Thailand again:
BANGKOK, Nov. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire
Following the passing of our beloved King, His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej on 13 October 2016, Thailand is now in an official period of national mourning. In this regard, some restrictions have been placed on public entertainment and festivities for a 30-day period.
However, TCEB wishes to inform all MICE and business event organizers that the Thai Government has lifted these restrictions to allow entertainment venues, musical, theatrical and festive celebrations to resume operations as normal.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior has issued a letter to Provincial Governors and District Leaders informing of the lifting of restrictions nationwide.
This allows that all business events and festival events can proceed as usual. Business travellers are invited to respect the traditions of mourning and to act and dress appropriately during this time.
The nine defined categories of public entertainment and festivities are:
(1) National festivals including Loy Krathong, Christmas, New Year;
(2) Provincial-level festival activities such as the Red Cross Fair and the Phi Ta Khon Festival;
(3) Provincial, district and local events to promote the economy, such as Walking Streets and bull racing;
(4) Carnival folk culture such as Likay, traditional music, contests;
(5) Entertainment venues such as nightclubs, pubs and bars;
(6) Activities organized at hotel venues, e.g. seminars, receptions and parties;
(7) Concerts;
(8) Traditional cultural events such as weddings and religious ordination, Thot Khatin and Thot Pha-pa ceremonies; and
(9) Sports at all levels and cheerleading.
Events in the above nine categories can be held from 14 November onwards. Organizers are asked to consider and adjust event programmes in accordance with cultural sensitivities as well as the prevailing rules and regulations.

Seems a pity as there is a lot of potential new business for Cambodia if Thailand stays a no fun zone.

Day to day, everything's still black and white here. I imagine this will continue to be the case till the 100 days of mourning are over.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

This will be an all white dress party. I guess the mourning period is over.
Nu-Disco Diva To Headline Biggest Gay New Year Party in Asia
BANGKOK — British nu-disco artist Sophie Ellis-Bextor will return to murder the dance floor in Bangkok at Asia’s largest gay New Year party.
Praised as the largest of its kind, White Party will follow up its successful debut last year with four massive parties over three days to celebrate the arrival of 2017.
Ellis-Bextor will headline the main party with her discopop electronica supported by DJ house music DJ Tom Stephan aka Superchumbo and DJ Danny Verde from Milan, Italy.
All are welcome to the LGBT-friendly party, but wearing white is a must on New Year’s Eve.
