22 MAY 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A foreigner drinks a beer at a bar on Soi Cowboy, one of Bangkok's "adult entertainment" districts, after the Thai army announced an overnight curfew. The Thai army suspended civilian rule, suspended the constitution and declared the "military takeover of the nation." The announcement came just before evening as a meeting between civilian politicians and the army was breaking up with no progress towards resolving the country's political impasse. Civilian politicians were arrested when the meeting ended. The army also declared a curfew from 10PM until 5AM. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
