holiday?

[a447]

I will be in BKK from April 5 to 20,( including a short stint in Pattaya). I've heard that there is going to be a funeral for one of the King's relatives. Does this mean that day the bars will all be closed?
Does anyone know what day I'm talking about?
Thanks.

The furneral date has not been set and will be mid year leaving April and Songkran free to enjoy
