He has a point. Now everyone has to stay at home and stare at the walls. All there is to do is bitch about the coup.

I think the army should impose a blackout at 10 p.m. so the people will stay home and sleep early. Peace will prevail to the nation.

[Bkklocal]

True cable all cut off I hear from my Girlfriend. Facebook /twitter most likely to be cut as per mass channels of communication, lets see !

[thai4me]

I hope they don't cut internet access.

[michaeljordan]

Well

No TV

Bars closed

Army in the streets

No reason fro the beer drinking bar hoppers to be in Thailand now is there.

I think the baht will collapse. Normally good for you beer drinkers on vacation but since the bars are closed--not so this time.

Well at least TV's finest are consistent, national crisis going on and they are Whinging .....

[Morakot]

All television channels in the Southeast Asian kingdom including foreign broadcasters such as CNN, BBC, and CNBC ran a constant military feed

How would that work? The Thai Army controls the satellites in space that transmit the BBC News channel for instance to my dish?

Still have internet, luckily I don't watch Thai tv!

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

As of about 9:50 pm, someone finally pulled the plug on all the remaining useful channels being broadcast over Happy Home Cable in BKK, including BBC, Channel News Asia, Fox News and NHK.

They had continued on long past all the regular Thai channels getting yanked earlier in the day. But no more.

No TV i can take - got a Slingbox in the UK (suggest you other expats do the same, unless you want psychological death by Lakorn).

But not internet? Go on Thailand, I dare you, I'll be on the next plane...

I'm one of those sad people!

Just popped out to the 7-11 before curfew...

Rather, I think one who lives a life without any beer are the sad ones...

Cheers!

As of 10:25pm, some channels off and some on in Phuket. Fox, gold,aljazeera, channel news Asia, Bloomberg, bbc and some other sports channels on, but universal and some others are off.

[tx22cb]

Hope they bring back the telly programmes soon - otherwise there will be a mini baby boom in January 2015.

The Thai Army comes knocking at ThaiPBS this evening:

[livinthailandos]

Please do not rumour or scaremounger about fighting, it creates panic.

thanks

What if it's true?

[EyesWideOpen]

Interesting that in the last coup here, when the TV channels were blocked out,

they showed soothing footage of His Majesty so the populace would not be

afraid. This time they have not. I wonder why....

[dazzking]

google "filmon" if you want some TV and news

I don't follow the logic or thinking behind killing all the normal junk content on Thai TV...

News reports I can understand. But what's the point of blacking out lakorns, etc???

Opiate of the masses and all that. Better watching lakorns than out in the streets.
