Went around Sukhumvit business district (BTS Nana area) to see by myself what is the current situation. 

Frankly speaking, at least in this area, it is business as usual for a tuesday evening after a heavy storm. Bars, restaurants are opened even if few of them already pulled their curtains dows (due to the coup or simply because we are close from closing hour and it has been strongly raining for more than one hour ?). 

All Sukhumvit road, only visible police is the traffic one with few policemen in their station on the Sukhumvit/Soi 4 crossroad. Not seen a single military personal nor vehicle.

Bars girls are leaving their workplace (accompagnied or not) going for a noddles soup in one of these typical small thai restaurants installed on sidewalks.

 Only noticable difference: No more international new channels (CNN, BCC, TV5) available on cable TV network (00:20 local time).
