STILL UNDER MARTIAL LAW

This may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but more than two months after the coup most of Thailand is still under Martial Law. I say most because today the governing authority, named the Council for National Security (CNS for short), will be lifting Martial Law in around 40 provinces.
Bangkok, the pro-Thaksin strongholds in the north of the country, and areas around the borders will still be under Martial Law, at least for the time being.

As far as my day-to-day life is concerned, being under Martial Law made seen no difference whatsoever. I think there has been some impact on the newspapers and what they are able to report, but that hasn't really affacted us and our 'lightweight' magazines.
