Military coup

I%26#39;n going to Bangkok and Hua Hin in late February with my wife and 6 year old son. Can anyone tell me if the coup has any effect on going out i.e curfews etc. Are the bars, restaurants and walking around the night markets still Ok in the evenings. Is life relatively unchanged ?



Military coup


Coup? What coup???......



Oh yes, I saw a couple of soldiers one day, a couple of months ago. I thought they were waiting for a bus...................



Seriously though, everything is normal, and has been all along.



The soldiers that were standing outside Government house quickly became an added tourist attraction, but everything was, and is still calm and Jai-Dee.



No problems, and if anything, things have improved slightly since the change of government.

Military coup


Nothing to be worried as from the current situation.





Every thing has been back to normal since a week after the coup took the country. We are now have an interim government.

Its over. The coup was nothing that big of a deal, but its officially over now if thats what ure concerned about.




Hmmm....interim government indeed. The police have been more than heavy-handed on the streets recently with stop and search ops on Thais and Farangs alike. Martial law lifted, yes, but, the police will act in the way they want to regardless of what kind of government Thailand has I%26#39;m afraid! The history of all this belongs somewhere else -suffice to say the police are, and, for the foreseeable, will be a ';law'; unto themselves.
