expect things will be quiet from the 13th ( 1 year from when he died) till the 29th when the funeral rights/ceremony are finished.
With the actual cremation on the 26th.
would imagine 25th-29th bars will not serve and no loud music, parties, anything

That makes sense.
And presumably back to wearing all black for those five days?

even during the initial 30 days, very few, (outside goverment officials/employees) here in phuket, wore Black.
expect bangkok to be very somber....

Why somber? I'm sure I saw a directive asking everyone to wear red.

Koh Phangan cancels October full-moon party
29 Sept 2017
SURAT THANI: Koh Phangan will cancel the full-moon party next month as the country prepares for the solemn cremation rites for the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Koh Phangan district chief Kriekkrai Songthani said on Friday that the event for October would be called off on the resort island in the Gulf of Thailand.

The full moon day next month falls on Oct 5 but Rin beach, where the raucous event is normally held each month, is expected to be quiet. All entertainment activities will also be banned throughout the month but entertainment venues can sell drinks and food during the period, said Mr Kriekkrai.
Local authorities from kamnan to village chiefs have been ordered by the district to strictly adhere to the restrictions by closely monitoring all activities on the island, he added.

Soldiers shut down unofficial Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan Island
7 October 2017
KOH PHANGAN: The unofficial Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan Island was shut down by local authorities in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The soldiers descended on Ban Tai Beach following a tip from locals that a beach party was being held. Eyewitnesses reported that there were hunderds of people partying on the beach when soldiers arived. Thairath described the holding of the beach party during the month of October “inappropriate”.

The local authorities found evidence of illegal selling and use of drugs. Soldiers confiscated 147 cylinders of Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as hippy crack, as well as a large amount of cannabis and other drug paraphernalia.

Soldiers later visited Haad Rin Beach, the venue of the original Full Moon Party. While not on the scale normally seen at a Full Moon Party, loud music was still playing and foreign tourists were seen eating and drinking.
Earlier this month, Koh Phangan district chief Kriekkrai Songthani announced that the event for October would be canceled on the resort island in the Gulf of Thailand. This to show respect during the cremation ceremony for the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

That's terrible. Let's start a GoFund Me to move the party to Cambodia.
