Do we know how long this will be for (initially)?

I notice it says 'primary and secondary schools'. I assume that state run vocational colleges will not be closed then?

Both of my children's schools in Phetchabun were closed last week. Reason given by both schools was that we were in a red zone, which we weren't, and still aren't.

I am led to believe they will going back to school on Jan 4th, don't hold your breath (it's dangerous) and wait for the lockdown announcement.

Go back home and volunteer in your own rather than act as an entitled hash-brown here...

I saw that Bangkok schools are closing for 2 weeks. I haven't heard anything definite in Rayong province.
