Tywais Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Here on the rarest of visits to the forum in the hope of reading something either interesting or informative. I should have known better. All this thread needs now is a bit of fuss about how the coup is messing up the best 99 Baht all-you-can-eat pizza deal somewhere. It's early yet.

Gosh, I'd be interested in that 99 baht pizza deal. Can you tell me where it is? The Wine place near the main entrance to Central Festival is doing Pizza + coke for 149bht, if that helps. But remember, they are closing a bit earlier in the evening at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccw Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Khaosod reports a candlelight anti-coup procession around the moat, apparently last night. Anyone see this? Reteurs report a small anti coup protest in chiang Mai yesterday; around only a hundred people they said. Passed off peacefully apparently. Not heard anything of it at all though here.

StevieH Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Rumour has it that the curfew is now 11pm ; my wife says so and I think I saw it somewhere on the internet, any confirmation? that rumour was doing the rounds of the bars last night, 11pm friday and saturday nights, curfew changed to midnight on sunday etc. seems to be based on nothing but hearsay from some facebook post. nothing official.

lifeincnx Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Probably a bit early for any noticeable change. I would imagine the curfew is fairly loose, unlike the curfew we had in Los Angeles in 1992 when the police said "anyone caught out on the streets after curfew will be shot on sight. Shoot now, ask questions later." They were serious about it. I was born in and lived on and off in L.A. for many years, including time during the `65 Watts riots as well as the `92 riots. In either case, NEVER did the city issue orders to the police (LAPD follows emergency orders and doesn't make them) or did the police or National Guard issue any separate order to "sight on sight" curfew breakers. Martial law in most countries does give the police and legitimate armed units the right to shoot looters. Yes, they all carried live ammo but did not chamber a shell ON ORDERS. Look for any archival documentation validating your Los Angeles "Shoot now, ask questions later" statement. You won't find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The curfew was taken seriously, I remember rushing through a date to beat it, but cops weren't shooting people on sight. Most people didn't want to be out on the streets at night during that time anyway since everything was closed and there was nothing but trouble waiting for you.

Lancelot Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Was out yesterday on my motorbike yesterday, from 1 to 5 PM. I saw two military check points on Chiang Mai - Lampun Road and one on RT 1001 before Mae Jo (Southbound lane, heading towards CM) They didn't seem to be stopping any one but were armed with M16s and sub machine guns...

mania Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) CM108 Thai just posted 8 minutes ago a warning to stay away from the moat as large crowds gathering Perhaps some demonstrating about to begin? https://www.facebook.com/chiangmai108 Edited May 24, 2014 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) No crowds at Thapae Gate, but a Thai person said that they are at Chang Puek Gate. I can not verify that though. Edited May 24, 2014 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 So, current situation: Not much of an enforcement of a curfew yesterday. Was actually a very fun night out; seemed more people out than usual in the bars, or at least more at an earlier hour. (Trying to make the most of it I guess). Either way I was there until around midnight. Some bars put shutters down but carried on as usual inside. One of the better nights so far this year for me actually.

Cheesekraft Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) it was very tense a few minutes ago at the moat, people tried to tip a car and the soldiers had to bust out the riot shields; lots of yelling. Someone assaulted a soldier and some people were throwing rocks Edited May 24, 2014 by Cheesekraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
