fresh air spreads covid.  everyone should hunker down in small enclosed areas, that'll do the trick

This is another example of being seen to be doing something. Remember, most Thais don’t ask any follow up question or analyse what is happening. It’s enough just to do anything in order to be seen as a busy and productive politician. Most people here will see this for what it is. A totally pointless waste of time.

I agree , closing at night coz a few people might enjoy themselves is a joke  itself ,surely  its crowds of  people who are more likely to spread infections , so they think crowds on the beach daytime is safer - it just gets  worse every week .
