The governor of Kanchanaburi province in the west of Thailand has ordered all hotels, resorts and related accommodation closed as of yesterday to prevent the spread of Covid-19. 

 

Violators face hefty jail time and/or fines, reported Thai Rath. 

 

Jirakiat Phoomsawat signed the order noting that the province is popular with tourists and that gatherings could facilitate the spread of the virus during the second wave. 

 

The only exemptions are hotels used as local quarantine or by officials on other Covid related matters. 

 

People can be jailed for up to two years for violating the emergency decree and fined 40,000 baht and other legislation can see terms of a year and a fine of 100,000 baht.

Why now?  Seems a little late to the party.

I assume the place is dead anyway.

So, maybe he is being thoughtful in a way as I assume the employees will now be eligible for social security income, which is a good thing.

Couldn't he have selected a picture showing a little more empathy rather than, "Yay, closures!" ?

He's smiling because he knows that even if no more tourists come to Thailand he'll still receive his monthly salary!
