webfact Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Thailand ‘State of Emergency’ may be extended By Pattaya Mail Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam. BANGKOK – The state of emergency may be extended while schools and airports will reopen and there will be long holidays next month, according to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam. “It is possible to extend the imposition of the emergency decree. It is being considered. The choice is to either extend or end it. However, measures will be reduced. For example, the curfew will be lifted and crowd gathering will be allowed. The emergency decree may remain in effect for the sake of swift solutions,” Mr Wissanu said. Without the imposition of the executive decree on public administration in emergency situations, officials assigned by the public health minister could not integrate operations among the police, the military and civil service officials, the deputy prime minister said.

No surprise here. Why would a rigid, autocratic, power-obsessed military regime...always in the market for 'swift solutions'...let go of a perfectly good and extremely useful emergency?

Popular Post Walter Travolta Posted June 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2020 Ahhhhh . . . I remember wayyyy back when the 2 week alcohol/bar ban hit sometime around mid March. I said then that this autocratic law would not be over and the more people accept new laws, the more the system will implement. People in power cannot help it, its why they are in power. Ever since 2014 Thailand has been less appealing year on year Would be nice to see some kind of opposition from the natives 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday 6 is Khao Pansa (candle festival) holiday...and then they are going to add 3 days, until Thursday, which obviously most people will extend by 1 more day, the Friday, making it a 9 day holiday!

I can already imagine the mayhem in the country... Agree about the mayhem. Duck and cover from Fri, July 3 afternoon until Sun, 12 evening(?). The final goodbye to "social distancing". Just a bit of nitpicking: the Buddhist holiday is Asana Bhucha on Sun, July 5 (alcohol prohibited). Mon, July 6 is the substitute holiday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
