Surprise Surprise Surprise as Gomer Pyle would say.  But in reality it is not, it is their way to ensure protests are avoided, and this government can stay in power, no matter how futile that may be.

And all the way to the election. Can't remember when I said this would happen. Somewhere around extension 3 I think.

[BayArea]

This junta is a running parody of itself.  Why even bother extending the " emergency decree " when in reality is just a guise for complete control of this so called democracy? 

[RandiRona]

Show me one who was surprised? Emergency decree is here to stay forever just like million billion strains of Covid!!

[Puccini]

Does this extension of the emergency decree mean that Covid extensions of stay continue to be available just for the asking?

In Orwell's 1984 geography Thailand would have been a "disputed area", not one of the 3 superpowers. 

[Iamfalang]

But, why????????????????   My falang neighbor can fly home, he's having fun on these extensions!!!!  He must be deported!!!  It's not fair!!!!   I must make my own laws!!!  He came here and got his 18th extension and is having too much fun!!!    OMG, I show him available plane flights out every day, but now he won't talk to me anymore.  I wonder why???

 

On another note, good news.   Means if the SHTF you don't have to leave the country to get a few more months.   

[ChrisKC]

It is certainly a decree... 

 

But is it really still a covid "emergency?"

[Lucky Bones]

The Decree is now a part of Thailand.

The junta will cling to it.

Yes sir, Prayut using a pogo stick cane and using two minders to walk him, with Prawit in a motorized all step climbing mobility scooter,

Not hanging onto panic Sir, hanging onto keeping the masses of protestors contained and trying to keep their regime pertinent.

Extension of the Emergency Decree..................................Flip Flopping made easy and so detrimental to tourism.

 

[renaissanc]

This is why this government has overstayed its welcome so to speak.
