BKK Holidays? What to expect
I will be in Thailand soon and noticed that there are two holidays when I am there. On the day I arrive, December 5 marks HM King Bhumibol's birthday. Then December 10 is Constitution Day. I would like to know what I can expect for these days; things going on, party, busy, no change, do people still go to work or things shut down.

the kings birthday is also considered fathers day.. since the king is all of the thais father....
some of the biggest fireworks displays occrer on that day. but as i've mentione it seems that bkk spends half of it's budget on fireworks since I see the sparkly specticle out of my balconay almost every day..
