Why would it be canceled?

My understanding it is going to be the same as the 2 Songkran extended holidays they have already had.  Just longer weekends with no water festival.

Running scared. Lets see how many more arrests there will be. It won't matter. The people's revolution is coming.

Thank you .....  Khun Prayut Chan O Cha .... best decision given the circumstances with many other countries having not contained the virus and actually having spikes in the number of daily deaths recently.

The US?

Are there still any special rules and regulations?

 

If I look here in Pattaya not many people seem to care about Corona anymore. Social distancing - perhaps on Facebook but not here anymore. I also remember that the nightlife should end at midnight. Very many things are open here until 1 or even later. So what is left from the rules and regulations? The often useless mask when you go shopping? Temperature checks are not done at many places anymore and to register without phone - only if you really want to touch the pen that endless people touched before you already. But mostly it is not enforced anyway anymore. 

 

Recently I ate at a restaurant the MK style - but not MK. Very many people - I guess more than 100. Pretty much every table was occupied. Social distancing - forget it. Only 1 lonely bottle of gel for hand desinfection reminded me of Corona.

Just a complete joke Dictators rule like that Expecting trouble are they?

Well, they could as well not extend the state of emergency and give all foreigners on expired visas 24 hours to get lost. Prefer that?

No worries. Nobody will come here anyway.  Baht skyrocketing now.

3 month without domestic COVID- case!

Allegedly!

'nuff said!

What year is that September 30th 2040 they should have complete power over the people by then .

The only emergency is an economy and country on the brink of disaster.

I agree with you but wasn't it a single day for Songkran on 27 July & Kings birthday 28 July?
