On Monday the capital and the greater region of Bangkok was propelled into its toughest lockdown measures in over a year, with the total closure of non-essential services alongside curfews in place for travel and businesses.
The lockdown measures came into force after having been announced on Friday, with Bangkok’s population being told to work remotely and stay at home. Restaurants have been forced to close their doors for dine-in customers, with only essential medicinal and grocery shops allowed to open, as all other retail and beauty services have been ordered to shut temporarily.
As part of the coronavirus restrictions, citizens of Bangkok and its five surrounding suburbs have been placed under a strict curfew from 9pm to 4am and are forbidden to leave their houses unless in the case of emergency, or having been granted permission by authorities. To ensure compliance with these rules, 145 checkpoints have been set up to monitor travel flowing in and out of the capital, as well as public transport curfews from late evening until the early hours (9pm to 3 am).
