riclag Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 9:00 pm Saturday night in sakon and many restaurants still open with many customers, I drove through the center of the city there were many gun toting solders at key intersection waiting for curfew deadline.What I can't understand is why isn't there a curfew during the daytime as well and just let essential workers go to work.reason being s@&t can happen during the day just as much during the night.Maybe the color of Red shows up better at night I guess.

JB300 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Got to hotel (majestic suites) at 9pm, rushed round to Nana which was more or less closed so hit Hillary's 2 (open to 11pm) then some bars further down Soi4, leaving at 2am (bar was still open [emoji106]) Did Hilary 2 actually close at 11PM?. The word was they would be open until 5am...... I don't know, it was a little quiet in there so we wandered further down Soi4 to a couple more bars. Everywhere was rocking yesterday afternoon [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brit1984 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yesterday I noticed 7-11 have stopped most promotions and have no bread (I checked 5 different branches in Ladprao, Bangkok). I assume the curfew is causing some shortages as a lot of logistics normally happen at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they closed at 10pm sharp, staff and clientele would have no other option than staying on the premises until next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybruce Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 On a more serious note, this curfew needs to end soon for the good of the economy and the stability of the nation. I've seen estimates of the size of Thailand's tourism industry as a portion of the economy ranging from 6% to 9%. Since tourism is a labor intensive industry it provides a larger percentage of employment. These numbers may seem small, but they aren't. Economic declines of a few percent have lead to riots in the streets and complete changes in governments during elections in countries in Europe. Without the pressure release provided by letting people express displeasure in elections worse things could happen here. In addition the curfew is hurting more than just the tourist industry. Thai's love to go out in the evening and the country is full of bars and restaurants catering to Thai people who like to lounge, drink and snack late into the night. Places that did most of their business in the late evening are now closing at 9 p.m. The hours of their staff have been greatly reduced, and if the curfew continues much longer these places, and there are thousands of them, will close and tens of thousands of young people will lose their jobs. Unemployment has a multiplier effect. When people lose their jobs they stop spending, and when people stop spending businesses stop making money and more people lose their jobs. A large number of mostly young people with no jobs, no money, no social outlet and endless free time is not conducive to peace and stability. I hope the generals realize this and lift the curfew soon. If they attempt to maintain control by leaving the curfew in place they risk turning a tense situation into an explosive one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Though it doesn't seem it at the time, the cops coming around to shut up shop at midnight is actually a good thing. It means I save money and don't lose like 2-3 days through an all-night Changover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawker9000 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The news is no news - the curfew still runs 0000-0400. Nationwide. It IS being more & more widely infringed, but the vast majority of things do close on time. (the LAST time I shared the current curfew situation, they made an announcement that same night; so knock on wood - unless you live next to a noisy bar) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
