Curfew may be lifted in Bangkok and elsewhere Friday night
The National Council for Peace and Order is expected to lift curfew in Bangkok and remaining provinces Friday night after General Prayuth Chan-ocha is due to appear on the television to talk to the Thai people on the “Return Happiness to the Thai People” programme, according to informed army sources.
The sources said that Lt-Gen Thirachai Narkvanich, commander of the First Army Region, had already submitted to NCPO chief General Prayuth a situation assessment report which would be used for consideration to determine whether curfew should be completely lifted.
The sources pointed out that the lifting of the curfew which would coincide with the beginning of a monthlong World Cup soccer extravanganza in Brazil would be an ideal happiness for the Thai people.
