Curfew? Doubt it.

Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer is being quoted on CNN referring to a "curfew" imposed by the new Thai authorities. As far as I can tell, he is incorrect. There is no news in any of the various English-language media about any curfew.

A curfew would be politically unpopular, as any American teenager can tell you. Thailand is a late-night culture, due in part to the fact that several hours during the middle of the day are unbearably hot. I would be surprised if there were anything to the "curfew" report.
