I have not been to Thailand for a few weeks, but am planning to return in about two weeks (subject to any advice members of this forum are kind enough to give me).
I have read that a curfew - from 2300 to 500 - has been imposed in about 20 provinces, including Chonburi, and therefore Pattaya. I have also read that the Mayor of Pattaya has declared that the curfew will not apply to Pattaya (including Jomtien?).
I am interested to know what is actually happening in Pattaya, including Jomtien.
I do not usually prowl in Sunee Plaza at 1 am looking for Thai boys with or without handbags (with due respect to an earlier contributor to this forum); or go to my local 7 11 in Jomtien at 2 am to buy some necessaries. But if I do, is there likely to be some official Police action? Or unofficial Police action, where 500 or whatever baht tea money is not inconvenient for me and probably very convenient for a Police officer in the lowest of low seasons?
I would be very appreciative of feedback.
