» The military's National Council for Peace and Order has invoked a nationwide curfew since the coup d'état on May 22. The original order prohibited people from leaving home from 10pm to 5am. The period was later shortened on May 28 to between midnight and 4am. Specific groups, such as private-sector employees and state officials working night shifts are exempted. Despite the curfew, life goes on in the City of Angels. (Video by Jetjaras Na Ranong and Chumporn Sangvilert)

» On May 23, armed military officers are the only individuals at protest sites of both the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) and the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) after the National Peace and Order Maintaining Council (NPOMC) told all protesters to go home. Meanwhile, 155 key figures involved with the current political conflict have been summoned by Gen Prayuth Chan-Ocha, the junta leader and head of the NPOMC. Elsewhere, a small group made up mostly of university students took to the streets to protest against the coup. (Video by Jetjaras na Ranong, Chumporn Sangvilert and Nattawat Watanasuwan)
