NEWSFLASH – PATTAYA CURFEW CANCELED

 

21st May 2010

 

At 7pm on Friday Night we received information that the curfew has officially been lifted here in Pattaya. This follows a meeting held at Pattaya City Hall earlier on Friday where a number of business owners pleaded to the Pattaya Mayor to get the curfew lifted which they felt was uneccesary as there was no intelligence suggesting that any riots or other disturbances would take place here in Pattaya.

 

Upon consultation with Police Leutenant General Asawin, the Region 2 Police Commander, the curfew in Pattaya was lifted, although it remains in force in other areas around Chonburi Province which remains under a State of Emergency. Whether, at this late hour, staff can be recalled to ensure that shops and entertainment venues can be opened on Friday Night is yet to be seen.

 

We will provide more details on this important development on Saturday.

I just spoke to friends who are in Sunee Plaza. The police did come around to let the venues and customers know the curfew has been lifted. Most of the beer bars are open and so are several of the go-go bars.

Is this only Pattaya or all of Chonburi Province?

Only Pattaya. The article says, " . . . it remains in force in other areas around Chonburi Province which remains under a State of Emergency."

 

I wonder if the ATMs are working tonight as a result of the curfew cancellation, although I would think most people have already pulled out whatever money they need. I'm not going to personally find out. I'm in for the night and unless people are going out to the bars, most businesses and venues are probably shut down for the night anyway. By the time this news was publicized it was probably already too late for many businesses to reopen if they hadn't heard. However, tomorrow everything should be shipshape again.

The Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES) lifted curfew in Pattaya on Friday night.

 

The announcement, which was made at 8.45pm Friday, is effective immediately.

 

Curfew imposed in Chonburi province greatly affected tourism in Pattaya, so the CRES decided to lift curfew there, according to local reports.

 

The curfew has been imposed in Bangkok and 23 other provinces since Wednesday.

I have "unpinned" this announcement. I think by now everybody knows about the curfew cancellation.
