NormanW Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I just got a sms message from my partner who is at work in a restaurant in Jomtien, told me not to go out tonight , red shirts in Pattaya "boom" whatever that means. Im staying home, like many I was hoping it would end without further loss of life and I feel for those affected plus of course the huge loss of business. With buildings being set on fire one has to wonder where it is all going to end. A very sad period in the history of this lovely country. And it not gonne improve soon.Just heard from a friend who flew in yesterday that on the china airlines flight from Amsterdam there were 9 people in economy. It won't effect me going to work tomorrow. Arh!!!!!! Could do with a day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethailand Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Just driven from my house, up soi 17 onto 3rd rd, left onto pattaya Tai, right onto 2nd rd, right up to Big C then back around the back of big onto 3rd rd and back home. The only red shirted people were a few at the red coffee shop on soi day night and a few on their stall behind big c, all shoppoing centres etc are closed but there was no sign of trouble at all. All beer bars etc were open. Edited May 19, 2010 by davethailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all these tourists/farang around, if the worst happened it REALLY would be an international incident. And relax. (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like it is some kind of half arsed mall based curfew here. I don't blame the malls for being nervous, especially Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moo9 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Just on TV, I understood with my limited Thai knowledge that there is a curfew in Chonburi Province. That would include Pattaya. Not 100 % sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I went to see Robin Hood in the Avenue but got turned away,same with Central.Pity was looking forward to it. I went to France to try and see "Robbing Trouble Causing Basta*d" but no sight of him, Dick Turpin without a mask... Can't blame them for closing places like Central, would take time to evacuate if arson occurs, hope things stay peaceful for you all in Pattaya, I was hoping to come shortly, but with things the way they are at the moment I'm going to give it a miss once again..

johng Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Spring News just had a reporter from Pattaya saying that even though Pattaya ( Chonburi ) is under curfew its not locked down but authorites are keeping an eye on the red shirts and there are no problems at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffoBear Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I just called 199 (the CRES emergency line) and they confirmed that the whole of Chon Buri province including Pattaya is under curfew from 2000 to 0600 until further notice. So that should clear up any doubt. Regards, Biffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Chiang Mai has a lot of redshirt activity. First reports said the curfew started at 6 PM, but later was changed to 8 PM. Some people report the police denying that there is a curfew, but most people seem to be hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suiging Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 With tempers and tensions as high as they are; perhaps in the very short term, not a bad idea. Over the next few hours there will be returning to town some very pissed off bully boys who will no doubt be hitting the bottle to drown their sorrows. Best avoided for a while.

PhilHarries Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I think they've been hitting the bottle for the last few days. You all keep safe, keep low and keep living there's no sense in providing some nutter with a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm1973 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Another confirmation here........I can confirm that Pattaya has been told to comply with the curfew as the province is under a state of emergency. Bars, shops will all have to close. I am preparing a report for my website now with other details I have received and will post a link when it is done.
