BKK / Sukhumvit: End or the street bars, aka mobile or alco-carts,
It seems that by order of the junta, through army and police, the all night long mobile bars, operated on the sidewalks of sukhmivit, are no longer allowed to trade.
The arrival of some malls and big hotels did already confined the areas as they placed large vases to avoid the installation of vending stalls and the later mobile bars (vending stalls set up in the afternoon running till appr 10 pm, replaced then by the mobile bars till the first lights of the day).
The nightlife of lower sukhmivit is now put at a challenge with this decision and wondering who and what's next? The FL's parading there?

If this story is true, the junta is serious about cleaning up corruption in Thailand. To take down a general officer, is a monumental task.
