Why is Bangkok so quiet ?

[Butterfly]

empty toll roads, no traffic jam on main roads, some Thai schools closed, almost feel like Songkran,

did I miss something ? is there something going on ? no tanks on the street yet ?

[good2bhappy]

It is always quiet when the schools are out

[BalconiesR4drinkinon]

blooming MRT wasn't yesterday morning. Couldn't get on the 1st train, just squeezed on the 2nd.

[Nawty]

sssshhhhh...dun tell anyone, the country is having a rest before the next round.

[Butterfly]

I think there is something coming, just can't tell what

locals are staying home, not good news, or are they all at the PAD party ?

[Nawty]

might be a good night to go out....take a camera

[Marmite the Dog]

It's not beer o'clock yet. It should liven up in a couple of hours.

[good2bhappy]

Ramadan?

[Travelmate]

The lull before the storm perhaps.
better hunker down. Stay away from 7-11.

[Thai Pom]

Marmers, I thought it was always "beer o'clock"

[good2bhappy]

what time is beer o'clock?

[Rattanaburi]

Under that state of emergency decree Thais are not supposed to be in groups over 5 from what I have heard.

[Nawty]

damn, there goes that orgy planned for the weekend

[Travelmate]

^ as if u had one planned.

[Butterfly]

I hope the girls wouldn't desert the bars tonight,

[Thai Pom]

It is now BEER O'CLOCK !!!!

[Butterfly]

^ a bit early, isn't it ?

[Travelmate]

^ I suppose you're the 10 O'clock guy. When your fav ladyboy walks into Cascade that you previously spoke about with joy.

I hope the girls wouldn't desert the bars tonight,

No, they just can't have more than 5 pole dancers in any bar, so they will spread to all the bars. More for you my friend.

[Norton]

No, they just can't have more than 5 pole dancers in any bar

Last time I was in a go go bar, they had trouble staying awake working three 30 minute shifts. Christ, with only five, they won't be able to even move after an hour. Hardly sounds worth the visit. Supply and demand will drive up bar fines beyond a reasonable level.

[Fstop]

I really don't see much change here. I was in Carrefour yesterday and the muppets were out in full force.

[Timber]

I think some of the locals in my area have definitely been watching their bahts more the last few weeks since things started getting messy. The beginning of August I had decent numbers of local walk-ins and that has dropped drastically in the last 2 weeks. Luckily the farangs aren't scared

[bkkmadness]

Have you considered a "Timba's supports the PAD" banner?

[Timber]

I don't know if I want any "red shirt" protests here just yet.

[Marmite the Dog]

Marmers, I thought it was always "beer o'clock"

I thought you'd given up on beer...
