Popular Post webfact Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 Entertainment venues in 41 provinces, including Bangkok, will be ordered to close for 14 days in a bid to prevent further spread of COVID-19, according to Thailand’s Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokesperson Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin. The proposal is expected to be signed off by the Prime Minister as early as tomorrow (Friday). Daily News reported the proposal includes shutting down all pubs, bars, karaokes and massage parlours for 14 days in 41 provinces. It is not known if restaurants will be included in the closure order. The 41 provinces include: 1. Bangkok 2. Pathum Thani 3. Nonthaburi 4. Nakhon Pathom 5. Samut Prakan 6. Samut Songkhram 7. Samut Sakhon 8. Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya 9. Saraburi 10. Lopburi 11. Nakhon Nayok 12. Chonburi 13. Rayong 14. Chanthaburi 15. Prachin Buri 16. Chachoengsao 17. Sa Kaeo 18. Suphanburi 19.

Phetchabun At the time of posting there are no restrictions on domestic travel in Thailand, with the Prime Minister reiterating that there are no plans to enforce a national lockdown. The news comes after Thailand on Wednesday reported its first case of the more contagious UK strain of the virus. Earlier on Thursday, provincial health officials in Phuket and Prachuap Khiri Khan ordered all bars to close for 10 and 4 days, respectively. At Thursday's daily COVID-19 briefing, the CCSA reported 405 new COVID-19 cases. *This is a developing story.

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 Thought Mr. Big said he was not going to do this yesterday ! And then as Scritti Politti said 'Boom, there she was'. If the yo-yoing starts at the top, there truly is no hope for this country in a pandemic. 10 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mike1967 Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) If the UK variant has made its way into Thailand then the only chance they'll have is to put the whole country into lockdown now. You can't stop this variant by shutting pubs alone. Surely then can see what's happening across the rest of the world? This is seriously serious!!!

Wife and nephew called to go to vaccination centre at Saphan Hin in Phuket Town today at different times. Nephew's employer now advising not to go as they are recording Covid-19 cases at the vaccination centre! Apparently, these have been recorded since April 2nd, yet nothing has been mentioned.

It does not matter if Chiang Mai is on the list or not. Chiang Mai can act independantly and do what it wants as it has done in the past. If the police have orders to close bars then they will. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krystal pub is very much the haunt of these people. We have cabinet ministers too refusing to disclose their movements in the last week or two. 14 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh look at us, the best in the world, we have no covid cases, we keep dirty farang out. lol. Pathetic What a joke.

Popular Post Guderian Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm simply amazed that they're allowing the Songkran travel to go ahead. One report reckons that restrictions this Songkran will be ten times softer than they were last year, and yet the outbreak appears to be at least five times as bad now. Wrong way to go, Mr. P! 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You beat me to it. In another news agency we cannot mention it has CM and Lamphun. So I would expect a total lockdown on even selling alcohol. The sad thing is my inconsiderate Thai neighbors will be in their back part of the house which is totally open creating absurd noise pollution with 6-12 of their friends thinking that all is ok as they are not seen. Maybe I will just call the police this time. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
