The curfew imposed in many countries

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

And yes @atst , I'm working on reducing the size of my post, I'm not at down to one paragraph yet, but slowly getting there. I agree that I killed readability on other threads.

I'm not doing too bad though on this thread, shorter post could lead this forum to have a twitter feel and mindset which might not be in it's best interest.
If you tried really really hard you might even be able to get your posts down to one sentence or one word . :stir:
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Cowshed Cowboy what you're saying could be it when it comes to Thailand indeed, it seems that overall, we are starting to slash freedoms in order to solve issues created by the previous freedoms we removed.

Closing all shops including 7/11 at night gives them time to restock and clean thoroughly without having any customers present.

But ultimately, in Thailand, I think it's mostly a question of policing the population. Nighttime robberies, illegal street racing, drug parties, etc. It's also meant to ram home the point that this is serious and that the government means business.

Sure, it's usually the fun things that get banned first, and then unbanned the last. The reason is to show who's boss!

If you ever wondered what it was like living in North Korea, then just head to UK, Italy, France or Spain instead.

shut down the economy, zap the lower working class thais that barely have any money beyond next week anyways, close convenience stores because of potential crime, institute the night curfew and deploy militarized police and military to enforce, situation solved (except that the thais are going broke)

problem, reaction, solution. it's all planned. I'm waiting for the change of subservient sheeple to angry people. hopefully that anger is directed at their govt.

Well if this situation doesn't eventually spark some kind of backlash against the privileged establishment few who have virtually all the wealth in the country I don't know what will. It just emphasises the subsistence economy that Thailand is for the vast majority of the population.
