snoop1130 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Govt unlikely to impose curfew soon: spokeswoman By The Nation The government is not likely to impose curfew soon to cope with the Covid-19 crisis, government spokeswoman Narumon Pinyosinwat said today (March 24). She said a Cabinet meeting was discussing limits on specific locations that were at risk of spreading Covid-19 and closing borders, which would be the responsibility of the Interior Ministry and governors of each province. The government was also considering a measure that would allow foreigners to depart from Thailand, but the issue of the curfew was not raised in the meeting. “There was no conversation about a curfew and that is all I can say,” Narumon said. Thewan Liptapanlop, Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office, said the new measures would become clearer in two days, but a curfew was not one of them.

Yeah, you're going on past experience with this government denying something one day, only to announce it a day or two later. No travelling in the rear of pick-ups must have be one of the fastest change of policy ever. Was it one day or both days before being cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah Karon and Patong were both busy last weekend but many posters didn’t believe me. Mostly 75% Russians then a big mix the rest. Russia does seem pretty immune to this. It’s boring to most people, no bars and restaurants etc. so the beach is popular. It will take a few weeks to quiet down more. Life will go on still. Not a huge deal you can see this is many countries still. Edited March 24, 2020 by alex8912 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post loong Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 So curfew starting Thursday 7PM to 7AM. Another decision without any real thought. Imagine the massive amount of traffic on the dangerous roads at 7AM and then in the Evening all the people rushing to get home before 7PM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babakut Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 here in bangkok streets are empty at night. i choose that time to go to supermarket. i also have a 7/11 open 30 meters from my condo. and i believe most in the city have a 7/11 nearby. a curfew will result in having them closed after 7pm. i am not sure a curfew is necessary or even a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 A curfew is probably needed during "political" crises. To keep the masses in place, and from congregating. Otherwise they might take over the airport(s) or shutdown Bangkok with their whistles and clappers. In this situation, I can't see it being much use on a virus. Restricting the time period when people can go out for food, medicine from 24 hours to 12 hours seems counter-productive? Can see the authorities limiting inter-provincial travel. Cracking down on social media posters deemed "bad". Controlling the press. Mandatory masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
