Prayut ends curfew in 17 provinces, including Bangkok. This in connection with the reopening of the country for fully vaccinated foreign tourists as of November 1.
The order, signed by General Prayut Chan-o-cha, was published in the Royal Gazette late Thursday evening. According to Prayut, the Covid-19 situation in the country is stable. It is now necessary to revive the national economy.
The curfew will therefore end at 31:23 PM on October 00 in the “Sandbox” provinces that have been declared maximum and strict control zones, but have touristic significance and have been designated for reopening.
The 17 provinces where the curfew will end are:
