However, further restrictions, including the lockdown of provinces with high numbers of confirmed cases is being considered by the government. On Wednesday, National Security Council General Natthaphon Nakaphanich reiterated that the government has been discussing possibly imposing provincial lockdown measures, namely in Bangkok and the surrounding areas, Chiang Mai and Prachuap Khiri Khan.

In other words lets wait for all provinces to be severely infected before a national lockdown, smart! 6 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post internationalism Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 there would be national lockdown, rather later, then sooner, but it would be necessary. Locking bangkok and neighbouring provinces it's already 25% of population, so large part. But as they are wealthy they would travel to the other provinces for partying, booz supplies. Also to escape virus and work online from provincial hotels 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose so, yes. Mind you, life would have been less complicated if the forum had been properly managed in the first place. Still, it's possible that Thai-ism is catching... I wonder if there's a 5% effective vaccine for that? Probably in China... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
