Just received this email from twoguys guesthouse

Hi I an sure you have been following the news about the Red Shirts in Bangkok.
It appears now that the Leaders have handed themselves over to the police and the army have cleared the protest site. Unfortunately some looting and fire damage has been caused , notably the Central shopping precinct, downtown Bangkok.

Last night Pattaya (among many other cities) had a curfew imposed,the Police came round at 10 PM and told all the bars that were left open to close.
This morning I heard there had been a report that Big C had been set on fire. So at 08.30 I jumped on my motorbike and visited both Big C's to find that they were both still standing and nothing had happened. I drove all along second road,beach road and Pattaya Tai, all were quiet and appeared normal (for Pattaya)

Pattaya appears to be calm and getting on with business as normal (Curfews notwithstanding) We are waiting to see if the curfew will be extended tonight.
Hopefully calm will now be restored and lessons have been learned.
If anything of interest happens I will keep you posted.
Regards, John
