BBC news

This has been brewing for some time. There has been unrest out there for a few years.
Bad luck for tourists as well as locals if everywhere is shut from 10pm

We've got a friend just outside Bangkok, he was put in post in February, he was telling us between Crimbo and New Year that it was imminent, as he still has contacts there from when he was working there a few years ago, he wasn't looking forward to the uncertainty as to when and how it would take place.

They can still bum the kids, but the kids now have to stop the night.
