rooster59 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Expressways to offer only limited access during curfew hours By The Nation Expressway service at all tollgates will offer limited access from 10pm to 4am following the government's curfew order, which came into effect on Friday (April 3). The Emergency Decree on Public Administration in Emergency Situation, (No 2), BE 2548 (2005) was signed by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to prohibit people nationwide from going outdoors from 10pm to 4am. The Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT), which is under the Ministry of Transport, said it would "limit expressway service at all expressway tollgates from 10pm to 4am, starting from April 3 by opening only one cash lane for cars that have permission to use the expressway under the Emergency Decree,” an EXAT official said. “Transport vehicles, such as consumer goods, medical supplies and fuel supplies, as well as shuttle buses to and from the airport, emergency vehicles, and ambulances can inform staff at the tollgate to request permission to use the expressway on a case by case basis.” People can contact EXAT Call Centre 1543 for more information.

They are not allowing foreigners in, and many hotels/bus operators etc. are refusing to serve foreign guests. If anything, this is a wake up call to all of us that Asia in general, is not a place for foreigners to call home. America is looking like a pretty awesome country right now - tons of space, good wages, cheap cars, fewer draconian rules made on the fly. And I could go on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy is equating closing expressways to Vietnam being a better country, when they've undoubtedly done the same. It's an unwarranted and completely baseless comparison, when all I've heard of what's happening over there is even more anti-foreigner rhetoric than is occurring in Thailand. About the only thing Vietnam appears to be doing better (although that could change) is that they're extending visas without needing to front up to immigration personally. However, that's never been a big deal in Vietnam, because agents have always done visa extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
