Seems army and navy are very active at the moment. I'm hoping they're practicing for the tuktuk ultimatum :)

  It's almost like they begrudge anyone having fun on their watch, crappy end to a night out.

If you had ever been a resident close to one, you would not make such unqualified and silly remark.

Was it a YMCA night?

Be nice if the Army and Navy came to Rawai and shut down the loud Thai pub that regularly goes until almost 5 am which is on the main speedway and is owned and operated by Chalong police bosses with impunity.  No amount of complaints by many members of the public has resulted in anything being done.

  If you can't stand the heat; get out of the kitchen.

Why not plainly institute nationwide curfew at midnight?
