Thailand corona crisis: Convenience stores must close from 22.00 p.m. to 05.00 a.m
Posted in News from Thailand
Tags: 7-Eleven, Chon buri, State of emergency, Pattaya, Stores
Convenience stores, such as 7-Eleven and Family Mart, in Chonburi province are no longer allowed to open to the public at night. The governor, Pakarathorn Thienchai, announced this yesterday.
The measure aims to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This includes all convenience stores and local stores in and outside shopping malls. Banks and telecommunication services in shopping centers are allowed to continue to operate normally.
Beaches also closed at night
Furthermore, officials have said that the beaches in Pattaya and Chonburi will no longer be accessible to the public between 20.00 p.m. and 06.00 a.m.
Thailand is under a state of emergency for one month. Governors have the option to take measures independently against the spread of the corona virus.

That's been here in bandung for a week
Closing those shops has the opposite effect: people who might normally want to buy something between 22 and 24 p.m., now probably come between 21 and 22 p.m. As a result, it is busier and more people are close to each other.
Wasn't the intention less "group formation"?
Quite right; This does not make sense. Meanwhile, the matkts are still open where everyone is squeezing. Wonder what it's like at the temples and mosques?
This measure could also have been applied without Covid 19... Just leave those girls from the 7/11 at home at night. You can also buy drinks and cigarettes before 22 p.m.…
Girls and boys are not allowed to work at night. This is only allowed from the age of 18 (although you are only an adult from the age of 20)*.
But how should young adults get money? Not that working at the zewen pays well, but at least it's something. I agree that it should be better. Think of better compensation, more protection for the employee, a safety net and so on. However, then it is also done with the large number of employees at all hours of the day. Such a switch is not yet easy, it has taken a lot of effort in Europe. In Thailand people (read the top) have a little brother to that kind of 'communist' things and we see more capitalism just like in the US.
In the short term, things are as they are. I think the zewen staff are just glad they have any work at all. Keeping the store open at night makes it easier to spread visits, I think. So whether this measure helps?? And I hope they don't fire the evening/night staff then. With the few rights you have as an employee, I fear that.
*Thai law states:
“The minimum age in order to employ a child is 15 years old in Thailand. Furthermore, no child under the age of 18 can be engaged to work without informing the labor inspector within 15 days from the date the child starts working. An employer is required to give a child a rest period of one hour every four hours of working. Similarly, an employer should not ask a child employee below 18 years to work overtime on holidays or work at 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. ”

Then those girls would have no income.
Let go of the old-fashioned thought. Internet is available 24 hours a day and supplies can be made in the physical stores at night, which reduces traffic pressure.
Cramming anything between 9-5 was fun 50 years ago, but hopelessly overtakes the standard 36-40-48 hour work week as well.
As Steven has already written above, with a shortening of the opening hours you actually achieve the counterproductive effect that should actually be necessary.
The social distance, which has been introduced in many places in Thailand, to prevent the risk of infection as much as possible, you will tighten up by curbing opening hours.
Many European countries, such as Germany, even open their supermarkets on Sundays, in order to prevent the concentration of customers as much as possible.
At Chiang Rai airport, just like all other airports in Thailand, every 2nd seat was marked with a red cross and text that people were not allowed to sit here.
When my wife sat down next to me it didn't help that I told the approaching check that they even live in a house and are in a bed every night so she had to stand up.
Openly show what was immediately undone after Boarding our flight, because we had to sit together in the packed plane.
