Today BTS childom and Ploenchit closed due to anti coup protest, and surrounding the place having quite a large of number of protestors.

Travel insurance companies already mentioned that insurance won't cover if anything happen to you as Thailand now having martial law.

If abit of everything, I suggest you to hold back your horse and wait for everything to clear up. Things quite tense right now. :)

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Good advice. Thanks bro.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

More or less life still goes on. normal folks going on normal routine tourist area will not be drag into hot zone. Those that are still here advise follow the curfew timings dont backside itchy wanna go see see look look. bullets have no eyes :cool:

This time its really very tense i was in lao for visa run when the curfew took place lucky got into bangkok right on time. Heard from the agent the border will be closed no 1 going in and out now. Not even tourist on the way back to bangkok while in the mini van encounter 4-5 roadblock. along ubon saraburi don maung airport and near asoke bts area and also saw police and army personnel questioning civilians along o nut bts at about 1030pm thou if u are tourist they will just smile and ask u to go back to wherever u stay..

Taxi drivers will also try to quote u high price after the curfew timing. So bros do take note

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

So taxis are exempted from the curfew hours and can ply the streets?

#ThaiCoup 2014
 

So true bro... I double checked on the origins of "midnight to 4am timings" was from the Bangkok riots of 2010! Apparently some people goggled but never read the year properly! Army media never mention anything about curfew tomorrow.

Reports Yingluck was released today? Today's kopi session for all the journalist and academics that talked shit about the junta. Lim kopi for 5 hours b4 trucks too them away to god knows where :eek: tomorrow is kopi for all the big businessmen with links to Thaksin, Governor of BOT, SET etc... so the purge is not yet complete.

And some chiong news....
Pimp was forced to close on Friday but Big Apple and Maiake biz as usual! Tomorrow everyone's fav high class AGG still closed but the other 2 mention is open.... guess Pimp boss is farang and wrong mountain behind him?

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

By right cannot but curfew it seems not enforced rigidly.
If really need to travel at night bring your passport with you.
Tourists they still close one eye...

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Tot u always fark katoeys assholes raw??? :eek:

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

One good indication would prob be this for those who wanna guess when the curfew will be lifted....as long as they r still announcing for people to report to them (look for the dates by when they must report)....the curfew will not be lifted before those deadlines AT LEAST.

Yeah...YL is released....but the round up continues....so the drama carries on.....

As for the party places....dun really know why....only reason i can conjure is..Queenz, Big Apple and Maiake....all same district, maybe some old cop retiring soon wanna make use of this curfew to earn some big bucks before he say bye bye.....

Yes...always bring your passport with u now...in case u get checked.
As far as i am aware...not all taxis are allowed on the roads during curfew hours, only those with some special stickers i believe.

Re: Bangkok Field Report

Another source of updates for the current situation in Bkk.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Actually i dun think its a prob of if he is less corrupted...the history with the current Hway Kwang District Police Chief is tat he JUST got posted back to Hway Kwang (lucky bastard actually) after he was supposedly posted out (along with many of his senior officers at Hway Kwang) for allowing many incidents to happen while under his watch. U can prob guess how he managed to get posted back...his backing must really like him.

However, now with Prayuth in charge I think Hway Kwang or maybe more importantly, the District Police chief or even his backing himself knows tat they r more closely watched for mistakes...so, he just has to LPPL and squeeze balls and kwai kwai follow curfew now.:D

This is my opinion BUT it may not be the case.....just my guess.;)

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

The more they drag this the more ppl livehood will be affected

Ppl live hood affected the more ppl angry

Angry ppl = more protest imo

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Majority, near 100% will not protest but as for angry, guess those minority businesses which operate after 10 will complain. Ask them go protest, majority will rather stay at home.

Huai Khwang District
 

Hahaha the current Huai Khwang District Police Chief must be happy like fook! :eek:

Huai Khwang District is an ATM machine with unlimited credit man! :p
