timekeeper Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Can't help thinking that all this curfew stuff helps serves the Government cause of garnering support against the Red movement. Having had some sympathies towards the Red cause, all I can now say is som nam nar Reds. i agree, i was a red hater already but this just intensified my negative feelings towards them it made me feel that the problem was a lot closer to home than i had imagined and that i had become embroiled in it as well as the people of Bangkok its a good psychological move on the part of the government and heightens everyone's awareness of the red menace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the government is correct that the country is now under a major threat. I already hate the reds an awful lot so to me the curfew makes no difference.

tropo Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I read this post on One Pattaya News: "The curfew in Pattaya and 23 other provinces has been extended for 3 more nights up to and including Saturday 22 May – just confirmed from Al Jazeera. Read elsewhere that if the cops catch you on the street after 9 p.m., they are entitled to give you a 1000 baht on the spot fine or, if you can’t pay or refuse to pay, it’s jail for you until the curfew ends at 5 a.m." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toenail Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Did just see a group of Red Shirts breaking Branches of Trees in the little Forest behind my Condo, sure there will be activities going on in Pattaya too. Its not over now, may be an interesting Day, to put it friendly Branches of trees?

monty Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thats the one, apparently all town halls are being torched Seriously doubt it. Would have hit the news virtually instantly...

tropo Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I heard that Farang are allowed out after curfew starts as long as they carry their passports. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHdiver Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 For what I know you are allowed out if you have to travel, for example to the Airport or a port. But you have to have the Travel Documents ready to show at a check point. Dont know if Airport Agogo is giving Tickets now, so you may better stay home.

petercool Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I heard that Farang are allowed out after curfew starts as long as they carry their passports. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? A curfew includes everyone and why would you want to venture out anyway ? And don't rely on the 1000 baht fine rumour either. It's not the police you need to worry about.

Mobi Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 The governement spokesman announced on TV yesterday evening in English that all foreigners must obey the curfew and stay in their homes. The only exceptions are those who are travelling, in which case they must carry their passports and air tickets which will be inspected at road blocks. I would guess this is where the information became distorted. Not a god idea to out - everyone, including the police are very nervous. The red shirt trouble at Lam Chabang could easily spread to Pattaya, as many of the protesters are from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo9 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 What is so special about going out under a curfew especially if you are a Pattaya longtimer!?! I find a few drinks at home quite relaxing, but I will head out for my sunset beer soon, making sure to return home well before 9 pm. It would not come to my mind to go out in the city tonight.

tropo Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) I heard that Farang are allowed out after curfew starts as long as they carry their passports. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? A curfew includes everyone and why would you want to venture out anyway ? And don't rely on the 1000 baht fine rumour either. It's not the police you need to worry about. Use your imagination. I enjoy riding around town and along the beach front at night when the traffic is light and temperatures are pleasant. I often ride up to the Pattaya lookout or find a place to sit and relax on the beach front at night in the Dongtan/Jomtien area. Who should I be worried about? If you don't have facts, please don't reply as I'm well aware of the rumours. Edited May 20, 2010 by tropo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
