uptheos Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Good night tourism. I mean how does that even work now? Very easy, you can not go out between 22pm and 5am. If you do, you risk being arrested or shot. But do not freak , it usually lasts for few days unless there is trouble So if I have a heart attack at 1am I have to wait until 5am to go to the hospital? If you have a heart attack your driver will have a clear road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinique Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hmmm. Hopefully this only lasts the next day or two. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand If you have money deposited at Thai banks you better take it out. This will not be a 2 day coup. Nonsense,,, scaremongering!

DrTuner Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Wife says, she sees on miltary news, internet will be shut down at 10pm, well see if its true or willnhappen or not If they do it indiscriminately by simply shutting down data centers, expect utter mayhem as large parts of society already rely on internet connectivity, including many government services. I don't think they'll cut it, but they might well block a large number of websites outside Thailand. A VPN should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watso63 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Channel News Asia still on IPM in Surin and I'm also watching F1 practice from Monaco on 365sort.tv. Guess Bangkok, Chiang Mai will be targeted frst then they will methodically work around the preplanned regions. Had plenty of time to organise, plan and now implement. THai language channels matter True, but the military will want to control everything mediawise if they are serious. They will deny all independant information to everyone in order to maintain control and prevent organised counter insurgency. The idea of a curfew is to control and protect the majority of the population. Anyone caught violating the curfew may well have some difficult questions to answer. If one doesn't need to be out, then why risk it? Unless of course one thinks it's all just a bit of fun and pantomime. I held a combat rifle for 22 years. During that time I never liked civilians much. Edited May 22, 2014 by watso63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFO Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This is Awesome. Means all that sex trade crap goes lights out at 10. The dirty foreigners are all alone if they did not do the hook up. Stock up on your favorite adult beverage. Relax and enjoy. Of course anybody living in Thailand and going through the last couple of these knows it only has a presence in BKK and few major tourist venues. If you live outside those "Places" its business as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yawn - IIRC the last time there was a coup (2006), hardly anyone outside of the government and the military even noticed ! A few pictures of some people putting flower rings on the barrels on the tank cannons was about it. Then again, we didn't have a curfew or ban on gatherings. I was in Pattaya and never saw a single difference between per and post coup, and flew out a few days later just like normal. But of course, all the foreigners have to complain about having the bars closed, and oh how badly Thailand is going to suffer if they can't have their nightly pints, and "dang-nab it ! I'mma leaving an nevva coming back again" and the usual "But why are they targeting me with these unfair rules ?" (etc/etc) as though the Thais really give a crap about a few whiny farangs when their country is on the brink of a civil war. After the last coup, it took what, days for the tourist arrival levels to return to normal ? The Thai baht hardly wavered (much to the disappointment of many of us) and within a very short time pretty much everyone (foreign) forgot there had even been a coup. Obviously hoping for a similar outcome this time as I would hate to see blood on the streets. Despite the turmoil and (sometimes) chaos, Thailand has always managed to bounce back and advance much better than it's neighbours. Let's hope this coup gives both sides some breathing room and a chance to sit back, evaluate the situation and come up with a peaceful solution to the crisis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KIWIBATCH Posted May 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2014 General Prayuth for Prime Minister........he has my vote........ Not afraid to make decisions.........delivers them in a straightforward no nonsense manner...........seems level headed............has the ability to take the theatrical seriousness and p*** out of any of the anti/pro Govt leaders...... I loved the comment he made re Suthep and Jatuporn having "to live together and learning to love each other".......this has got to be a classic statement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucjoker Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 i hope the military stay in power for the rest of time . Politicians proved over and over that they can't do anything else than stealing .
