Thread: Thailands night-time curfew shortened as countrys COVID restrictions eased

Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has announced an adjustment to the list of COVID-19 “dark red” provinces, a shortening of the night curfew to 11pm-3am, while convenience stores and shopping centres can open until 10pm, effective from October 16th.


Convention halls, exhibition centres and events held in shopping centres or hotels can open with no more than 500 participants, while maintaining at least one metre social distance, and participants must wear face masks at all times.


Meetings of no more than 2 hours may be held, but must allow for effective air-ventilation. Meetings with more than 50 participants, however, must seek advance permission from the local communicable disease committee.


Gaming centres in shopping malls are allowed to reopen, except in “dark red” provinces, where only games that are played individually or in pairs are allowed. Amusement parks and water parks are to remain closed.


All sports stadia and public parks can open until 10pm with anti-COVID-19 measures in place, while large gatherings will depend on each zone.


Pubs, bars and karaoke bars are to remain closed and the Public Health and Interior ministries will discuss the measures again by October 31st.

Look at the dinosaurs we have planning the reopening.

TAT boss rules out going back to the old Thai tourism formula of crowded bars and nightlife. He insists the kingdom is instead pursuing a higher quality, more family-friendly market.
