Sorry, Leo. I have no idea. I’m quite isolated here.

The TV and radio stations are just playing traditional or nationalist music - no actual broadcasting at all, which is normal during these coups, so there’s no news coming from them.

But I happened to ask a Thai friend last night about the curfew in another area, and she reminded me that it is indeed country-wide.

I’m not much up on the local politics, but my impression after living here for a long time and through many upheavals is that the majority of protesters/demonstrators regardless of party are paid. I actually have distant family in Issan that have been there, done that, including organizing.
