waheedz Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I am quiet interested to know how the Martial Law effects the famous nightlife of Bangkok? Are places in lower part of Sukhumvit closing at 1 am? Very few people in them ? How about Nightclubs? Surely not 'business as usual' as there will be fewer people, but did they change their closing times as well ?

Popular Post Bpuumike Posted May 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2014 In line with Thai logic I'm sure the prices will have increased in line with any falling demand. Apparently business hours as per usual. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I really don't know the answer to that question as I haven't been to any of those places in at least a year. Furthermore, I have no desire to go there. However, if I had to hazard a guess, I would say .....none. I note however, that for the entire period when protestors were encamped on Soi 20 and 21 Sukhumvit Road .... Soi Cowboy never once closed (except for government and/or an official Buddhist holiday). Now why do you suppose that was? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dddave Posted May 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Cowboy & Nana exist in their own little universe and nothing seems to slow them down. Even when there were 30,000 demonstrators camped 100 meters away several months ago, Cowboy was unfazed. When the poop finally does hit the pah lom...they will be the last to leave. P.S. I just love the sanctimonious scribblers who feel compelled to point out their lack of visitation to these nefarious venues before commenting authoritatively on them.

Ulic Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 It's not the martial law I would worry about but the 10 pm-5 am curfew. Not sure if is will really be enforced or it is an extra squeeze for cash by the military. I am sure the police will continue to collect there envelopes.

canadian90 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Fairly quiet due to lack of tourists (and low season), but otherwise, business as usual. Is there a noticeably sharper lack of tourists than there usually is during the low season? Would really like to meet people when I come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nana was totally closed down on the first days of the curfew, but maybe they have also adapted some sort of early opening hours. I haven't been out at night for a week now!

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) From everything I've seen, the military is pretty serious about the 10 pm nationwide curfew at present. I don't know if some nightlife places are staying open later. But traveling home any distance after 10 pm could be a definite problem.
