Huh, you'll miss New Year then.
NY in Thailand? Annual New Year's celebrations in Pattaya are cancelled. Unsure of the rest of the country but the 100 days of mourning ensures there's to be no music and spectacle in anything of a celebratory nature. So in effect, NY is cancelled.

there is no 100 days of mourning;
its 30 days ( ends nov 13th)
and 1 year

NO one has said if ALL celebrations are cancelled for new years YET

Not so fast, mate. It's 100 days during funeral rites. Richard Barrow just updated his detailed collection of reports translated from Thai media:
It looks like all concerts & major entertainment will be cancelled or postponed during the 100 day period. This is up to about 21 January. So, this would include new years celebrations. Certainly no fireworks or Countdown events.
Of course, that could change tomorrow.

Sounds jolly:
No fireworks at New Year – expect candles nationwide, say TAT

The Tourism Authority of Thailand is moving ahead with plans for a mass candlelight vigil for New Year.

The change in the celebration follows the death of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej on October 13th reports Daily News.

Previous years fireworks have been used after the countdown for the new year but candles will be used to usher in 2017 as it will be more respectful...
