National Security Council Secretary General Gen Somsak Rungsita

 

From June 1, the curfew will be reduced to 11pm to 3am, from the current period of 11pm to 4am, National Security Council Secretary General Gen Somsak Rungsita said today (May 29).

 

The curfew is being cut in phases after it was initially imposed on April 3 for the period between 10pm and 4am.

 

However, the country would remain closed to foreigner visitors due to concern over the spread of Covid-19 from abroad, said Somsak.

 

Inter-provincial travel will be allowed to restart on June 3 for those who had necessary journeys to make, he added.

Department stores could also open until 9pm.

Now that's good news for all those who get up at 3 AM!

It's to help the many market traders who need to get up very early. 

So relieved to get back that extra hour of freedom 3-4am ???? 

I will tell you where I am at 3 am.. ???? 

That should be a big economic stimulus boost. Maybe 23 people in Thailand will notice this change.

One shop owner in the village is on the wheels at 4:01 to buy at the district town.

Back at about 6.

I'm guessing it means the speakeasies can close a little earlier, most of us have run out of steam by 3am, we just want to go home and sleep.

Vendors & market traders will like this.

And will foodland open at 3am ?

 

Why don't they extend the curfew until midnight and make an exception for the early markets and the traders that need them

Because they want to avoid social gatherings especially when people start to drink at night.
