Pattaya: All quiet at resort including the beach ahead of expected curfew on Thursday

Pattaya Update News sent their reporters out in Pattaya at 11pm last night and found the resort almost completely shut down apart from restaurants.

 

Of particular note was that people had stopped congregating on the beaches that were now closed off at night. 

 

Earlier reports suggested that groups had set up mats to sit outside and drink on the sands after entertainment places shut their doors. 

 

This is now over as the beach is now closed from 8pm to 6 am along with almost everything else in one of Thailand's leading tourist centers. 

 

The roads were almost deserted too -  a video showed some motorcyclists out and about but little else.

 

The media reported that there is widely expected to be a curfew from 7 pm to 7 am starting Thursday.

experienced that a few times myself.

I remember the power going out for about 12 hours on samed around 2008..

started at 5pm and didnt come back on till 5am.

we sat their all night surrounded by candles and a table full of booze.

some thai guy brought out his acoustic guitar and played a few songs.

the girls loved it.

they were latching on to any man they could find, giving out hugs and kisses like they were going out of fashion.

 

seems the darkness really brings out the best in these girls! ????

Yes, and you don't need to drink so much as they all look more beautiful in the dark.

... and there's me thinking it was the size of the wallets that was the attraction.

How depressing, looks like Hua Hin.

I am expecting that Tat office to self combust within a matter of days.

Thailand just copies what the rest of the world does. They have done so for years with all manner of things. Smoking bans, plastic bags etc..

 

Probably just as well they're doing it now under the current global crisis. If they had to think and make decisions for themselves it doesn't bear thinking about.

[Matzzon]

Looks lovely!

Yes, everybody is so depressed over the present outbreak so they don´t have the heart to take them away anymore. 

[Dart12]

Is there a link to a report showing that there is a nightly curfew of 7pm (til end of April??) for all of Thailand?  I have not seen this.

[Mick501]

Official TAT stats advise that only 7 million tourists visited Pattaya on this night.

As Thailand waits for the PM's master plan , another song in his cultural clothes...SOS

Funny, because back then I had no money. 
I stayed at a small beach hut (400 a night) and took about 5,000 cash in hand for the week.

 

still managed to get laid every single night.
