Bangkok Curfew Lifted By Thai PM

Thailand’s Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced this afternoon that the curfew has been lifted in Bangkok and 23 other provinces.ย  Since May 14th, when clashes commenced between Thai security forces andย ‘red shirt’ anti-government protesters, over 80 peopleย were killed and over 1,000 were injured.ย  Thai PM Abhisit went on to say that the situation was under control and that there was no need to extend the curfew.ย  Bangkok’s multitude ofย bars, pubs and nightclubs now have to try toย entice customers back, which initially might not be an easy task.ย  The good news is that Bangkok is back open late again.ย ย Let’s hope that fromย tonight we see a lot of people partying and perhaps blowing off some steam.ย  It has been an anxious and frustrating period, butย law and orderย is now restored in Bangkok.ย  Party on!ย ย ย
