Curfew question : my event ends after 23:00. Am I safe?

[jackvale]

I have purchased tickets for a boxing event tonight that starts at 8:30pm until 11:30pm, more or less.

On my way home, is there a risk of me being in trouble? Are foreigners exempt from the curfew?

[LivinLOS]

I suspect the event will be cancelled..

Farangs are for sure not exempt, and without clear reasons to travel (an air flight for example) I would not want to test it.

[scorecard]

If it's a local boxing match, do you really think events like this are exempt?

Why would foreigners be exempt from the curfew?

Are the ticket holders all farang, would this be any reason why the coup leaders would give this specific event an exemption?

If farang hold a small proportion of the tickets or a large proportion of the tickets would the organizers risk getting themselves and the boxing staff / other staff into some deep trouble by extending a boxing match past 22:00?

Do you think there is a coup department which spends time on such matters?

Do you really thinks Thai citizens would tolerate a situation where they are under curfew but foreigners are not? Plus if foreigners were able to be out late / no curfew then entertainment venues & restaurants would need to be open - do you really imagine that entertainment venues / restaurants are exempt from the curfew just in a case a farang might walk in?

update: I contacted Pattaya Boxing World and the event is cancelled due to the curfew.

Really, all the answer that was needed... 'Could've done without the lecture.

The mind boggles. Dual pricing has morphed into dual curfewing. Thais kept off the streets while farang have the run of the place.

Yet another dumb question to start a dumb thread... so the usuals can waste more of their life in here

with such a naive and somewhat self centered post i would have expected more negativity than you actually received

Interesting reply. The poster asked a simple question, which seems to have been answered with condescending questions.

It reads more like an accusatory scolding than the sharing, of what could have been, a simple answer to a simple question.

I am not in charge and am not any better than anyone else.

Think, Think, Think

My suggestion is to comply with the curfew and try to get a refund on the tickets.

Good luck.

Sometimes daft questions deserve the responses they get... Just saying!

[Strangebrew]

Short and sweet NO farang's treated same , unless you have emergency like hospital or have permission from local military officer to be out your busted.

[golfhacker]

So why are most bars open to 1am on Soi 8? Last night and tonight.

[LivinLOS]

How do you know what time bars will be open tonight, when posted at 09:45 am ??

[belg]

try your luck and you might be the star of the evening at 11 pm, 10 soldiers against YOU

When you post here...getting lectured is the least offensive thing that can happen...getting slammed is the norm...

[crazykopite]

A curfew is a curfew the only people who would be exempt are those who are involved in life or death issues hospitals, ambulances fire service ,police and the military and as there is no TV on air I would expect that 9 months down the road the maternity wards will be in crisis !!
