Night time curfew...

TheOggMonster · May 23, 2014

UBC off.

True vision, CTH and GMM have all been blocked. Samui cable is still working but some chanals are blocked.

Mole · May 23, 2014

Family Mart has also announced they will close between 22:00-05:00.

I guess hell will be freezing over next.

AngThong · May 23, 2014

The signs of upheaval are everywhere on Koh Phangan: The Coconut Union of Macaques are organising themselves for a march to Bangkok, seeing an opportunity to double their incum from half a durian per coconut tree to a whole. The Phangan branch of Underachievers Anonymous are almost contemplating a discussion on the topic; and last but certainly not least, the Dishevelled Hippie Association have issued a call to challenge the curfew - tonight at 10.30pm, below the third coconut tree on Had Yang beach.

See you there, comrades.

There are no exceptions since the curfew is imposed nationwide/across the country etc

There is no exception to the law that meter taxis MUST use their meter.

It is the law.

All you do is take the number of the taxi and report it.

There are no exception to the law in Thailand

Except for one place in Thailand only . . .

I don't know about any curfew, but I'm hearing LOUD LOUD music as if there's some kind of concert somewhere in Chaweng.

Well - 10:15 pm on the second day of the national/nationwide/everywhere/thismeansYOU curfew, and the day on which the Surat Thani Governor was told to get with the program . . .

Business as usual in Mae Nam.All bars/restaurants/noodle stalls open. (Well, all the ones on the ring road that I could see.)

The Thai teeny boppers live rock pub opposite Soi 1 banging full tilt. Road traffic as normal. (ie meter taxis with dead meters and no bike riders bothering with helmets! )

Not a sign of life outside the police station.

No signs of the BIC anywhere, either.

Remind me - what nation are we in again?

Better get to bed Rob S ... you have to be up at dawn with your hand bag......

BIB must still be stratagizing their next move on how to deal with the situation, not seen one all day.....

Some of the Maenam bars seemed a bit busier than usual when I drove by around 8 pm....

Tropicalevo · May 23, 2014

"But farangs by the tens of thousands will not be able to work." But they shouldn't be working anyway as they don't have work permits!

Well, sorry to burst your bubble Wayne, but I have had a WP for 12 years. Most of my neighbours who work on Samui also have a WP.

To be fair - they may not have a different WP for each job that they do but...... they do have at least one and they do pay taxes.

Where are all of these dodgy farangs?

edit - I am talking about Samui. Not Pattaya

back on topic - I was in Chaweng tonight and I have no idea if there was a curfew. 10 pm is past my 'ovaltine' time.

I was home before then

TheOggMonster · May 23, 2014

Chaweng open as usual tonight. Only Family Marts and 7/11 closed after 10pm.

Mole · May 23, 2014

There's a LOUD concert going on somewhere in Chaweng.

Get back on topic please. You have the news section to discuss your political views.

Yes there was an event on at Chaweng Lake. Quite a few stalls had been set up as well - but not much of a crowd there.

Looked like katoys in bikinis bopping away on the stage.

edwardandtubs · May 24, 2014

Tropicalevo · May 24, 2014

If all of the noodle shops are closed at 10 pm, where are the BIBs going to eat?

What next....the Internet?
Oh no no no no no! Please!
Thai people will have no Facebook, get bored and go out on the streets - counterproductive.

(AH - but that requires forward thinking . . .)

But farangs by the tens of thousands will not be able to work.

If the BIC (boys in camo) want to gag the teeming insurrectional hordes, then take away their bloody silly little tweety phones. Close the phone networks.

Then cut the TV. (No phones and no TV = Thai nation up in arms - and this will distract from the internet thing.)

That way the real work in Thailand can continue, regardless of all the face-keeping and handbag swinging.

What the.. now I'm hearing some really LOUD music coming from somewhere near Bangkok Hospital. Sounds like a live concert.

AngThong · May 24, 2014

Loud Thai style music playing near the local temple on NW KPG as well. Celebrating the coup...?

2 places. Phuket taxis don't use meters either.

Mole · May 24, 2014

Yeah right, prevent from gathering. Lots and lots of people coming out protesting against the coup anyway during the daytime.

There's a LOUD live concert going on from somewhere near Bangkok Hospital right now.
