There have been a number of posts about the effects of the curfew on bars and tourism.
I understand these are trying times for such businesses, but being from a produce producing area where the trip to the city is how neighbors get the best benefit from their crops - I wonder what is being sold in the usual early AM markets as to fresh green produce when the usual 3 AM departure time is now off limits. I suspect that individuals and restaurant buyers are going later to the markets so as to hope to find the same things ... that arrive later in the morning, but am curious if anyone has observed the effects personally in their supply lines.

My wife was talking to some of the market traders this morning who had told her that they came from Satahip to the market at the top of Nerb plab wan in Pattaya and had been stopped presumably by the Navy soldiers but allowed to carry on when they saw the load in the back of the pickup

The people who work through the night to keep the country going are exempted from the curfew.

Thanks. Since there are still some vehicles that don't appear to be military) traveling at night, this is the kind of explanation I would expect, but had not seen confirmed. Good... though it would be nice to see this exemption "codified" / explicitly stated in a briefing report.

As in the prior post, an unknown source for a possible yet necessary exemption. What those in cities rarely need to contemplate is the harsh hours kept by thousands of people so as to keep the city life functioning from afar.

Then again if it was made explicit, the movies are full of examples of hay-carts and such being used to get contraband into the castles of old... Time to go back to
