I am leaning to yes because there is zero Covid risk. Let's see if a cop disagrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come you're jogging at 2-3 am if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the soi dogs are sleeping. It's a different world. People start appearing at about 4.00 ish, so I try to be home by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making an assumption about some folks on here, nobody was claiming rules don't apply to them. When Thai people are confused on what the rules are, farangs are even more confused. My question was not "will I get caught & fined" but rather "are we allowed".... The answer was cleared up saying not allowed, so I rode my stationary bike inside my condo instead and I imagine the others did not break rules either. P.S Thanks to everyone for the clarification.

I always get up at 3am, do a few chores around the place and exercise for an hour in the house including treadmill. Crash around 8pm most evenings.

Yes, it is clear now. But from the initial communications it was not evident if there were going to be punishments for breaking the curfew, or what counts as a "necessary reason" for being out at night. But seems it's been clarified now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe but if you go out it’s fine. Street food stalls cleaning and packing up. Has there been even a single report of someone being cited? Like I said to op, go jogging, you’re fine.

When you posted that the curfew had been in force for less than 24 hours, how many people would you really expect to have been cited in the 9pm - 4am period that the regulation applied to?
