I also noticed more such restrictions during the Thaksin era, particularly when Purachai, that notorious "moral crusader" was given powers of authority by Square Face. With this latest coup, I'm more worried about the censorship of the media.

Meanwhile, this curfew will kill the bar scene for the time being. I know several guys who work in the Silom & Suriwong area and they've already been crying the blues this year because business has been so bad. And now this. Urrggghhhh!! I doubt the gay bars will even try to open this week. In that case, I'll be expecting phone calls from my regulars.
