uptheos Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So, if you are in your favourite gogo at 10pm you can't go home until 5am? Better have lots of cash with you. Now that's what I call a glass half full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FangFerang Posted May 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2014 According to Aussie media, the military banned groups of more than five. That means half of all Thai families have to leave either grandma or grandpa at home now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon Watcher Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 ... so let's all go to Pattaya and have a (bar) counter coup!!

jimbeam1 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Hello Does this apply in Samui? How to know? I cannot remember if there was a curfew last time, in 2006, but at that time business as normal all over Samui... No there wasn't. I was there when the news broke. I might have spoken out of turn there. What I should have said, is if there was I didn't hear of it. jb1 Edited May 22, 2014 by jimbeam1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwyn Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi everyone. I have been viewing Thai Visa for a few years now but am new to posting comments, so hello to everyone My name is Jay and have been living in Thailand for 3 years now. I am quite ignorant to how this works, in terms of the army taking control. Who controls the army? I always believed that a governent decides what the army can do, so how can the army seize power of government? Who gives them permission? Cheers Jay, that's why it's called a military coup, the military has taken over the government. They will either install a puppet government of organize an election but it will take a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiready Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 probably won't apply to some tourists areas, can't imagine all of them sitting in their hotel drinking beer and watching TV.

marcusd Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The internet will be shut down here at 9pm. The reason for all this has got to be that someone has died. Need I say more My Embassy told me not to come to bangkok and it was NOT because of the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I held a combat rifle for 22 years. During that time I never liked liked civilians much. Yeah, we all hated those "long haired, pot-smoking, tree-hugging hippy civvies" as well (until we retired, let our hair grow and realized trees weren't that bad after all) ! What really sucked was retiring to take a job as a civvy in Afghanistan and less than a week after turning in my uniform having some wet-behind-the-ears punk with less than a year in give me grief because I was a civvy ! All going well, a month from now most (non-Thai) people won't even remember there was a coup, especially if the curfew is lifted soon (or not applied to the "tourist" areas). It'll be business as per normal within a very short time and a whole lot of panic over nothing (fingers crossed), just like last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JAFO Posted May 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2014 Man some of the posts from folks in this thread specifically are absolutely hilarious. Typical westerner reaction, they always lose their minds. They think the world is coming to an end, never go home, planes stop flying, food get consumed, they might starve, be stuck, killed, robbed, executed.MWAHAHA. Keep the craziness going, I am LMFAO.....This is good stuff. YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE....... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMarlow Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I have plans for 8pm tonight for some dinner with friends, do we really all have to be home before 10? If you have a previously arranged dinner engagement the military will allow you to go ahead with it of course. It's a bloody curfew, who do you think will be preparing your dinner and serving it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
