[webfact]

 

By Pear Maneechote

 

Following the gradual fall of cases throughout the country, the Thai government, in a bid to restore economic activity, is now easing lockdown restriction measures in Bangkok, its surrounding regions and the other “dark red zone” areas starting on September 1, the government spokesperson confirmed to Thai Enquirer on Wednesday.

 

“The easing of lockdown measures will be according to the Royal Gazette announced earlier this weekend,” the Deputy Government Spokeswoman, Dr. Ratchada Thanadirek, told the Thai Enquirer. “The ATK and vaccination regulations are indeed in principle, but they are going to be implemented [tomorrow], this is also according to the Royal Gazette.”

 

Here are some of the highlights to what the easing of lockdowns would look like starting September 1, according to the 32nd edition of the Royal Gazette that was published on Saturday.

Let's not forget that according to a well-known rag, eligible employees can now go up to the fourth floor of the parking garage in Building B at the Government Complex in Chaeng Watthana from 8.30am to 4.30pm!

Now THAT'S news, and an important step in the fight against Cowid!

Another reason is that High Season is fast approaching, and Thailand does not want to miss the boat on

any chance to get some international tourists to come to this country.

We need the money.... simple.

Hope the hospitals are ready, every other country that has opened up have experienced surges in infections, the only difference being they had vaccinated most of the population so symptoms were less with no hospitalisation needed.

That's not the case here.

It is not a coincidence that the 'official' infection numbers started going down and the country 'opening up' are announced just before the censure debate in parliament which is about the PM's performance to date.

Very much depends if Thailand is on their red list... not many from the UK will be coming.

And with bars closed I can't see many Russians rushing to come.

I still don't understand the logic behind not allowing gym to open, not even those in private condominiums but yet, all other places where people gather in even bigger numbers they allow to open, Thai logic, anyone can explain that to me?...

No mention of them, although Outdoor Sports Fields probably covers that.
