[BigRick]

Sweet now I really don't have to worry about seeing the army driving home at midnight. Not that I have seen them in Kanchanburi seems more of a myth but good news to hear.

Only a few more to go. When is it Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai s turn?

[Shurup]

Seems like the die-hard red shirt provinces still have the curfew in effect.

[jimstar1]

Cmon Ladies whats Chiang Mai done wrong the poor girls of Loi Kroh road

[max72]

Why not Koh Tao ?

Chiang Mai will probably be the last one…too many hardcore Reds here.

Agree,mate,why not Petchabun,not that it affects me,but just don't like the idea we are classed as a hotbed of the redshirt's,which from what i have seen we are not,most people here could not care less about politics.

[HOAX]

and excluding Udon Thani, again... What are they waiting for? Unlike in the beginning of the martial law, when the soldiers where conscious, the only thing the soldiers have been doing the last 5 days or so is sitting, eating, talking and laughing, when they`re not sleeping. I haven`t heard about a single sign of a threat or any reason why the Army should be present at all. I know what happened in 2010 and that there were protests last year, but now it`s really nothing. Most reds up here seems to be satisfied with the situation for the time being. Correct me if you disagree.

Good job and salutations to the Thai Military! I support the efforts to bring peace, democracy and prosperity to the people of Thailand. Things may move slowly, but, move they will. Long Live The King!

Fantastic! Great news about the curfew.

Not lifted in Khon Kaen - long may it reign.

Then everyone can sleep at night without all the cretins playing heavy bass until 4.00 am EVERY NIGHT!

[Brian67]

Normality returning quickly, done a road trip from Ratchaburi to Koh Samui and there were more police checkpoints than army... Having said that I haven't tried to drive the same distance into Issarn.

[stickyrice2000]

Keep Bangkok on curfew forever.

[DLP]

More good news,

[retell]

Mukdahan gonna be next year ?

Not true -Buri Ram is not a red shirt area and not lifted yet.

Some of it is.

[wilcopops]

What about Chonburi

[ebean001]

As long as Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are not included it is going to solidify the vote during the next election. The people up there are going to remember that the curfew lasted longer than in the south. They are going to vote even more as a block. They need to build unity by removing the curfew nationwide now.

How to make people in BKK wish they lived out in the boonies.

that's all they're going to remember? that and a lot more I think.

Why not Phetchabun,unless I missed something.

In my living years there has been gun fights between communist rebels in provinces like Petchaboon, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, and possible some more that I do not remember. Some provinces shown by history, causes more problems than other provinces. Therefore it does make some sense. Also remember, that Phayao used to be a part of Chiang Rai.

[jimky]

When home, I wake up around 4AM normally as gives me a chance to do some things online before kids are awake but can also adjust easier to a few hour shift when on Holidays.

Today I happen to be sitting in Udon Thani with an 11 day vacation planned and today is about making the long drive to Kanchanaburi. My family already agreed would sleep in the car and we'd leave whenever I wake up. We're packed, car oil is full, and ready to go.

I wake 12:00AM on the dot because am excited for the trip. But damn it, I have to wait 4 hours to leave

Good job and salutations to the Thai Military! I support the efforts to bring peace, democracy and prosperity to the people of Thailand.

And to punish the people whose views you don't share, and don't like.

Let them stay under house arrest at night. Free elections!! Whatever next??

The curfew was not a "punishment". Nor what is a flexing of military muscle. It was/is intended to keep the hotheads apart and restore some peace. Simple. Effective. Fair. Flexible. Something clearly had to be done to prevent public clashes and mitigate the incessant pot-stirring such as the above (most of which, thankfully, seems to be confined at this point to foreign diehards here on TV...).
