I do not know shit about weapons so any info would be helpfull

Militiamen arrested with lethal weapon intended for inciting violence http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/militiamen-arrested-lethal-weapon-intended-inciting-violence/ Combined force of soldiers and local police raided an apartment room in downtown Khon Kaen province Saturday, arresting 23 militiamen and seizing a cache of arms and ammunition they intended to incite violence against the coup. The raid at Chonlapruek apartment came after security officials were alerted of a suspected group of militiamen was holding meeting at a room of the apartment. Soldiers and police encircled the apartment and stormed into the room where they found 23 militiamen inside. The militiamen said they belonged to the Civilian Volunteers for Democracy Protection Group. Of the 23 militia, one is a woman. Hand grenades, smoke bombs, several hundred rounds of ammunition, two LPG gas tanks were seized along with ten vehicles. Interrogation of the suspects revealed that they planned to incite violence in Khon Kaen and several northeast provinces after the coup. They also admitted of receiving order from the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship in Bangkok to use the weapon to create a “Khon Kaen†model of violence. The seizure in Khon Kaen had links with recent seizures of arms in Samut Sakhon and Lopburi provinces, security officials said. Intelligence source said the seizure of the weapon and its connection with several arms seizure in several provinces supported the information of the Army that there were attempts to smuggle weapon to the capital to incite disorders and prompted the military to stage the coup. They said security alert was mounted in Nakhon Ratchasima, Kalasin and Khon Kaen for possible violence by armed groups.

Curfew is nationwide. For everyone. But they have given so many official exceptions to the curfew rule that many seem to ignore its existence. Restaurants etc are largely closed after 22.00 but far from all in my area. On another note, spotted the first two soldiers at Huai Kwang intersection today! Not a full complement yet. Normally with every crisis there are about 10 soldiers at Huai Kwang is my experience. I was wondering why they were not there this time

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/Militarys-decisive-mood-at-stalled-talks-led-to-se-30234475.html Second Deputy Senate Speaker Peerasak Porchit sensed something unusual when he attended the second round of talks on Thursday between seven parties on how to resolve the country's political deadlock with Army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha. The military invited the political stakeholders for talks, then detained participants at the meeting when no progress was made. Representatives from the then ruling Pheu Thai Party, from the now-deposed government, the Democrat Party, the pro-Pheu Thai United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship [uDD], the anti-Thaksin People's Democratic Reform Committee [PDRC], Senate and the Election Commission [EC] attended the meeting. Participants were not allowed to bring communication devices inside and were also searched for weapons with metal detectors, Peerasak told The Nation. Once inside, the Army chief addressed the feuding parties grimly, telling them he wanted an end to the impasse within that day [Thursday]. "People cannot wait. I ask all of you to come up with a solution today," Peerasak quoted Prayuth as saying. After his remarks, the stakeholders made their various pitches. Democrat representative Abhisit Vejjajiva called for the then caretaker government to resign, which they refused. With no sign of a breakthrough apparent, Prayuth asked the groups from the five political parties to hold separate meetings in small rooms. In the first room, representatives of the UDD met with counterparts from the PDRC. In the second room, Pheu Thai debated with the Democrats. The third room housed members of the then-government. The fourth room, meanwhile, played host to a meeting of Armed Forces commanders. The sub-meetings went on for 40 minutes, after which representatives returned to the main room. Suddenly, UDD leader Jatuporn Promphan took PDRC's Suthep Thaugsuban by the hand to meet Prayuth. After that, Prayuth asked then caretaker Justice Minister Chaikasem Nitisiri, who led the government representatives at the meeting, whether the government would resign. Chaikasem told Prayuth that "as of this minute, the government will not resign", according to a source. "Then, as of this minute, I have decided to seize power," the source quoted Prayuth as replying. Prayuth then stood up and asked the senators and EC members to leave the room before soldiers detained the rest. "I'm not shocked because I expected the military to break the deadlock," said Peerasak. "When the military steps in, it wants a quick solution. It doesn't want to see a third or fourth round [of talks]." From his perspective, Peerasak said the UDD representatives made major concessions just before the talks were ended. "The red leaders said that they would do whatever they could [to restore peace] while retaining their principles," Peerasak recounted. According to Peerasak, the EC stated that the earliest they can hold an election would be October or some time in the next one or two years. He added that the military was clear that it did not want an election in a divided society.
