Judging by news reports the mindless people congregating and having fun while drinking may well spur more restrictions including a Booze ban again.
One must really understand the Government does understand its Public, they abuse, ignore and snub their noses at any law as they see fit , possibly sparking a resurgence of the Virus.
They are just some people you cannot educate at all.
you could ask which country
i am sure if i look in todays papers that would fit at least half dozen different countries
not just because of the alcohol ban here
Very true ..
With regard to Thailand i think the Government has done a decent job with the covid crisis , just a couple of foophars allowing thousands to travel when the Bkk bars etc closed similarly for the May hols ..
From the outset a large percentage of the population for what ever reason seem not to have grasped the seriousness of this issue and a lot of government requests and advice has not been followed .. as more time passes less n less people are adhering to government instructions ... possibly thinking its beaten when with so few tests being done it most certainly is not.
The curfew is just one point which is being not taken seriously more n more ..as is mask wearing and more so social distancing which is none existent generally...especially if theres a pallet of Leo up for grabs

All this from observing one t-junction among millions when putting out the bins or taking the dogs for a 4 a.m. piss, visiting the local 7-eleven and watching one video. Nice affirmation echo chamber we have here.
IMHO the Thai general public are overwhelmingly observing the rules and regulations. If they weren't, the government would already have popped everyone's balloons and not just those that need alcohol.
So hundreds are flocking to DIY stores here... same happened when B&Q reopened some of their stores in the UK. Unattributed viral video's showed people lining up around the block just the same as one unattributed viral video showed a beer scrum at a Thai store. Some unattributed pictures of a gridlocked 304 and then... nothing.
Time to temper perceptions with reality.
