My friend got a letter from his hotel when he checked in yesterday. In it was stated that curfew will be until 28 May!
Today had anti-coup protesters at Victory Monument, Major Rachayothin and in Chiangmai. Shots were fired (most prob in the air) at Chiangmai and several people got arrested in both cities.
Thaksin's son was arrested at Chiangmai airport this afternoon. Army is hunting down red leaders in the provinces and 10 bombs went of together at Pattani! Rumor again Army looking to block social media coz now thai reporters using FB & Twitter to report the news!

Let's hope tomorrow they end the curfew. Looks like good sign.
Bro....this I think is highly unlikely given the events tat just happened tomorrow (24/5). Rounding up of people is still not completed.

Dun listen to such so called reports tat curfew will be lifted this or tat day....even Army officers in high places cant be sure wat Prayuth has in mind...ur teerak is Prayuth's god daughter ah??
Going to work could simply mean...they will open from 10pm-5am and guests cant leave until after 5am. Kao jai??

Also another date tat I have seen floating ard so often.....i am so tempted to take bets against tat date.....sigh....28th is just the date floated ard becoz, Martial Law allows for detainment of people for max of 7 days....given tat the first few jokers were detained 22/5....people think tat this means the jokers like Jatuporn and Suthep will be released on 28/5 and thus, curfew will be lifted tat day....so very very wrong assumption......
Just wondering, now that there's a coup and this curfew, could it be a good time to actually visit Bangkok? Given that the tourism industry is heavily hit and many tourists are all heading out/avoiding bkk, the stakeholders (working ladies, service providers, shop vendors etc.) may be extra desperate and there may be good deals waiting for visitors.

What to you guys think?
My experience ( I was there during the first coup, and beginning of current protests last Dec.) is that independent gals may be more desperate and affectionate to get your attention, but won't lower prices. In Thermae last Dec., better looking girls were holding fast at 2000 ST, despite less customers - they don't want to undercut each other.
Establishments (Mps, Agogo's) are also unlikely to lower their set prices, since they still need to cover overhead and other employees.
The only real advantage is there is lesser competition among pooners, and less likely somebody will scoop the gal you want from you. On the downside, if you goto a place like Soi Cowboy more likely the girls will latch onto you and forcefully drag you inside
