tropo Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 There is a curfew. Follow it! Sorry but if your life requires you to find a girl/boy every night or drink yourself stupid... go home This is your first post, so I'll drop it to you gently. Pattaya is the place to be for finding a girl/boy every night and drinking yourself stupid. It has no equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 ^ It's a newbie tropo so let's try to be nice. Not everyone is a born again hard man that dresses in black and cruises the beach road and buddha hill on a motorbike under cover of darkness. I would suggest that globalwanderer try offer the following suggestion; "... if your life requires you to find a girl/boy every night or drink yourself stupid... then go out and get your 'dancing partner' and beer before the curfew starts and then.... go home" PS No curfew in Vung Tau and the beer is about 34 baht/bottle. I won't say how much my 'personal assistant' cost last night as we can't talk about work related stuff here without a WP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Guys, you are guests in Thailand. Obey the laws and government directions. There is a curfew. Follow it!

It's funny how people are always quick to claim anybody who likes to go out for an evening drinking are alcoholics. I just wonder how many of them spend the evenings cuddled up with their best mate Jack (D). Some people have a social life outside their front door away from the internet.

BugJackBaron Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 It was eerie last night in Jomtien(midnight) . Only a few dogs enjoying themselves on the beach - ALL bars and clubs closed(though i could hear music behind the shut door of one). Like out of a "last man on earth" movie.

Rumcabal Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 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" Does this mean that the curfew will end at 5am tomorrow (Saturday) morning? Or does it include Saturday night and so will end on Sunday morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundman Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I drove from Swampy to North Pattaya after curfew last night. I did not see one soldier, or one police stop. In fact, with so little traffic on the road, and the new motorway extension, the trip took about an hour, maybe a fraction more. Pleasant drive!

Rimmer Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 One post deleted. Just so there is no mistake, Thai Visa emergency rules do not stop at News Clippings and will be applied here also: 7 days suspension automatically for any of the following: 1. Recommending or celebrating violence (of any kind, against anyone) 2. Personal attacks of any kind 3. Trolling 4. Off-topic posting of any kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curfew will expire Sunday morning 5 am, and it is still not decided whether it will be prolonged or not. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) 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" Does this mean that the curfew will end at 5am tomorrow (Saturday) morning? Or does it include Saturday night and so will end on Sunday morning? 1-2-3 should be easy to count! Curfew will expire Sunday morning 5 am, and it is still not decided whether it will be prolonged or not. Cheers I thought it was a very good question. They don't always use logical counting here and "extended to Saturday" could be interpreted as finishing at 5am on Saturday morning. PS. Next time you are stamped 30 days upon arrival in Thailand count the days. They actually count the day you arrive so you end up with 29 days in total. You could try telling the Immigration officers "1-2-3 should be easy to count", but I don't think they'd be impressed.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I have searched online for a picture of what Pattaya looks like all dark and under curfew... Couldn't fine one. Can someone take a couple pictures just before 9pm, (or after, from a hotel or condo)? Someone has to document a dark Pattaya, if only to tell our grand kids..
