Hey allemaal,
We gaan 31 december naar Thailand.
En willen waarschijnlijk 1 januari het grand
palace bezoeken. Maar is het open op nieuwjaarsdag?
Ik kan niks vinden op internet helaas.
groetjes Dorine
Volgens de Feesten almanak is het ook in Thailand een feestdag… Kans is dus aanwezig dat het GP gesloten is.
Oke, bedankt voor de info. Dan gaan we wat anders doen die dag.
groetjes Dorine
Ik meen dat het die dag gewoon geopend is, maar weet dat niet helemaal zeker.
Edit, net dit gevonden voor je (en voor anderen):
