Army chief General Apirat Kongsompong on Wednesday (March 25) ordered a curfew for soldiers after five in the Army were reportedly infected with Covid-19.

 

After 238 soldiers entered quarantine, Apirat decided that a curfew would be the best option for the Army.

 

He has ordered every soldier to return to their accommodation before 9pm and they will have to ask for permission from their commanders if there is a necessity to leave.

 

From March 25 to April 22, travel between provinces is only allowed for the purpose of the Army and any emergency travel must be reported to the commanders first.

 

The Army will also strictly apply the social distancing measure to lower the risk of Covid-19 in military camps.

he doesnt look  like he could fight his way out of a  wet  paper bag does  he

Yeah maybe for ordinary soldiers but perhaps the conscripts need to stay late to finish their slave services for the generals and officers they are indentured to. 

Wants them fit for when he makes his move perhaps?

Interesting. Are these from 1 barracks. If so the entire base needs to be quarantined immediately. Spanish flu took off from an army barracks. If they're from different bases then the problem just got bigger. 9:00 curfew. Ok you can go and spread the virus but make sure you're back by 9.

Beginning tomorrow the curfew is 8 pm for us all so why should it be any different for soldiers not on duty?

It's a picture of Prince Dipangkorn, but I've no idea why certain military and police have started wearing it.

You must be in Prayut's inner circle then, as you seem to be the only one who (thinks) he knows the curfew details.

This will really upset phantom recruits who are alleged to turn up once a month to collect and disburse their pay

No official curfew as yet. Rumors.

At his rank, he can wear anything he likes, maybe his daughter, Thais love <deleted> all over their shirts, majority of it would be like boy scouts getting patches for tying a knot of starting a camp fire, who cares.

The look of despair on his face is from knowing he will never be a Field Marshal.   Stuck at General for the rest of his career......

Just enough time to finish cleaning out the officer's parrot cages.  Then home and straight to bed.

Maybe he has realised that this is one problem which cannot be solved by threats, strutting or violence against unarmed people...
