Lockdown in Thailand will end on July, 1st

News in Asia

People have long waited to get clear information when public life will come closer to the "old normal". Now we have a confirmed date.

The National Security Council  secretary-general Gen Somsak Rungsita said today that the people's cooperation is important and as long as the virus is spreading around the world social distancing, the use of hand-wash and masks are essential to minimize the impact and to avoid further spread. 
The emergency decree will end in June and as long as it is active international travel bans won't be lifted. We can expect the curfew to be further shortened and inter-provincial travel restrictions will be lifted. Some businesses will require their customers still to use the Thai Chana mobile application for checking in and out of their premises. However, movie theaters will have to remain closed until further notice, because there are no new movies released at the moment.  
We are looking forward to see travel bans lifted and tourists coming back to Thailand.
