Today in Bangkok suddenly all parks are closed until the end of August... where was this announced in the news?

..and what actually is the difference between walking/exercising in a park and walking/exercising on the street ?

These kinds of restrictions make little sense....

Yes! The rules don't always apply to those that can pay! New "Elite" visas to Thailand are being sold now costing thousands of dollars a year! So it only takes money to bypass the standard system. But Thailand is not alone. With adequate deposit/investment/fee you can get residency and indeed citizenship on short order in dozens of countries. While here in the US the Thai Embassy wants a "Criminal Background Check" for a 3 month visa issued by State or Federal authorities. I know of no other country that requires that for a 90 day tourist visa. If someone knows any please let me know so I don't deal with them! (and no I have no criminal background, lol!)

When you die in a park it's harder to get the ambulance. Outside a 7-11 it only takes a few hours.

Plus dying outside a 7/11 will attract crowds to stand and gawp who will then use the 7/11.  CP group I suspect would wish more people would die outside their shops ?
