Shurup Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 probably won't apply to some tourists areas, can't imagine all of them sitting in their hotel drinking beer and watching TV. They can do that back in their falang country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NancyL Posted May 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) This could mean the shelves in the stores and tables in the market stalls will soon be empty. When do you think goods move around? When do you think farmers bring their produce to market? Ever been to a Thai wholesale food market at 5 am? The sort of places where the ma-and-pa street stalls go to buy their produce? Edited May 22, 2014 by NancyL 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pralaad Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Good night tourism. I mean how does that even work now? Very easy, you can not go out between 22pm and 5am. If you do, you risk being arrested or shot. But do not freak , it usually lasts for few days unless there is trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw soldiers hanging out around Thapae Gate yesterday evening at 7 pm. They're definitely at the "hot spots" in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
