Popular Post MJP Posted May 22, 2014 Popular Post 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 Well it never said anything about this in the holiday brochure. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Asiantravel Posted May 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hmmm. Hopefully this only lasts the next day or two. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand little chance of that because Channel News Asia is reporting that the red shirts have said will fiercely resist this so the army is obviously imposing these clampdowns because they are expecting trouble ahead 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingstonkid Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 i was just at patpong and the girls were worried about business. i guess their worries just got confirmed. I agree it it going to be interesting to see how the bars and clubs treat this. One thing though. It says you cannot leave your house between 10 and 5. What happens if you already left it at 8 and are at the bar. and it is 11 are you still ok. Maybe it just means that you are going to have to stay there all night LOL. As to the airport arrivals. I think that a way of resolving that is to have buses setup to take people to hotels. Tourist arrives shows hotel booking confirmation gets on buss tht takes them to hotel. Works for me. Actually best thing that could happen to tourist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillywilly Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thais love being out at night and who can blame them, the weather is much cooler. It will be interesting to see how strictly this will be enforced... As an aside, I have not seen one soldier on patrol in Chiang Mai. Just my personal experience... Saw one group at Thapae gate and another outside university on nimman this afternoon. Not a lot to see ill grant you but they are certainly in evidence.

Asiantravel Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I flew out of Thailand 2 days ago. Seems my timing was perfect. Feel sorry for all the people that are suffering financially because of this. The elite and their puppet Suthep can sit back knowing they got their way but they know in their hearts their time is short. Once you have awakened peoples desire for democracy and given them a taste there is no going back. When an event i cant mention happens in the very near future their time will be up, even if they have secured a friendly government in power for when it happens. This of course is what this was all about..... corruption?? haha give me a break Apparently Thailand has a close relationship to USA in that it is termed a non-NATO ally. USA is now legally obliged to impose certain sanctions on Thailand. So it is going to affect them economically 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyll shoot you dead on the way to the hospital so at least you wont have to wait for the ambulance youll be in it!! Complete nonsense, dont be so over dramatic. Of course emergency services will be allowed to operate, maybe just subjected to checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
