Popular Post webfact Posted May 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2020 Panel considers reducing curfew hours as part of lockdown easing By THE NATION File photo A change in the current curfew time was among the many measures the ad-hoc panel tasked with considering easing of the country's lockdown reportedly discussed at its meeting on May 13. There were discussions on reducing the curfew hours from 11pm to 4am from the current 10pm to 4am. This move aims to give more breathing space to business operators and people. The discussions lasted some six hours and considered many aspects of easing the lockdown. The panel will send its proposals to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha tomorrow for consideration.

Brigand Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 A bit more clarity and some more relaxation on the inter-provincial travel situation would probably go a long way further than shortening the curfew by an hour. At the moment inter-provincial travel is not banned but "discouraged", although, people are traveling and there are ad-hoc checkpoints which seem to be randomly manned or not depending on the time of day etc. Also, minivans are still operating for trips under 300km and there are reports about how many should be in a car or bus (if there are working in that area or not) plus different regulations according to which governor's fiefdom you are in depending on where you are going to and where you are coming from ... and on and on. I see the locals are pretty much traveling as they see fit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayD Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Where did 4am come from anyway? The wholesale market near me opens at 3am because that's what is necessary to get breakfast to people working the fields at dawn. The local authorities have the sense to leave them be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Scrap the curfew altogether and focus on policing illegal mass gatherings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta408 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 It has been lovely and quiet after 10 PM but that is very selfish of me. In a big, dynamic bustling city as Bangkok was, there is no room for curfews. Life is a twenty-four hour affair. Why impose a curfew on those who can still "boogie".

Maybole Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Back in 1960s Pubs etc in Scotand had to close by 10pm. Patrons then had 10 mins to drink up and go hame. This resulted in large orders just before closing and a rush to avoid wasting drink already paid for. This resulted in increased drunkenness and associated crime. liberaisation in 1980s resulted in the same amount being drunk over a longer time. Drunkenness and crime reduced substantially almost over night. I suggest that imposing further restrictions will result in a similar increase in crime awa7 back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevoromgh Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 No karaoke, no traffic noise (especially Kamakazi motor cyclists) I hope they keep the curfew indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
