Livinginexile Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I live on the other side of the river to where the trouble is but looking from my condo balcony it looks like business as usual! Plenty on vehicles on the road, soi shops busy with customers, as a matter of fact in the immediate area looks busier than normal! What's going on where you live?

edwardandtubs Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Sounds like the curfew has arrived "a few minutes late" in your area by Thai standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singa-traz Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Bangna Area - very quiet ... I vote for the curfew to be extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Bang Kapi, business as normal, nobody seems to be bothered about the 40k baht fine. We must be on a different time zone out here in the sticks. Police knocking a few back with their red shirt mates, sabai sabai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 A few bikes on the streets, 7/11 open, restaurants open, cars around and on the expressway heading into Bangkok. Living in Nonthaburi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAILIBAN Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Bang Kapi,business as normal, nobody seems to be bothered about the 40k baht fine. We must be on a different time zone out here in the sticks. Police knocking a few back with their red shirt mates, sabai sabai. I heard that the red hooligans are planning to invade RAM university, after the incident 3 days ago, when they were chased away by the RAM student crowd, which is not very much supporting the red movement. anything going on there now ? or in which part of RAM r u staying ?

CHdiver Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 GF staying with the Parents at the moment near Chaiapoon in a small Village told me Police came and told them to stay inside. So they take it serious even in Nakon Nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginexile Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 It's 10.30pm now. Looks normal to me from the bacony, I'm in Chareon Nakorn area. Only difference, there seems to be no cars on the road, only bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammbock Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Electricity on Sukh. Soi 6 will be down for 2 days. The Reds burn down the Power generator at Klong Toyie. Its a bit strange cause on soi 4 and Soi 8 Power is on. That forced me to move to a Hotel near my Home. Its strane to stay in a Hotel and you can see your apartment across the street. Well......will the Electric company pay me back the cost for the Hotel? Or maybe the Government? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAILIBAN Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 from what i can judge from the posts here so far, the curfew seems to be a VERY SMART thing ! and this shows that Bangkok people are really wanna have their peace back !

DeathbyDurian Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Overlooking Nawamin road just past major ratchayonthin . Usually 200+ cars a minute, from 9pm onwards I would say about 1 car a minute. Never seen it so quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunderland Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 First time ever that the majority of Thais have followed the rules! Maybe they should have a curfew for a week during Songkran. In fact every night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Central Khon Kaen quiet last night but still a few cars on the road even quite late. Supposedly a curfew in KK according to reports from Bangkok but the local army and police brass said they'd received no specific instructions to enforce one. The army camp near my house had about 50 unarmed squaddies manning a barrier blocking the main gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Curfew in Korat last night, seemed to kick in around 9pm in the 'burbs. I hope its not in effect tonight.
