Thailand’s industrial sentiment index in July dipped to a 16-month low, dragged down as Covid-19 infections continued to rise despite semi-lockdown measures, the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) said Monday.

 

The index, based on a survey of 1,386 businesses across sectors, fell for a fourth consecutive month to 78.9 points, down from 80.7 points in June.

You close it at 9pm, and reopen it at 4am. 

Doesn't matter what country or what government, the biggest hurdle in running a successful business is always (and without fail) the government of the day. So when any government goes full-metal-jacket (as opposed to their usual locked and loaded), your business is screwed.
