Bangkok’s 10pm to 4am curfew hours will have to be strictly observed by people living in the Din Daeng flats, Metropolitan Police announced on Friday. This order was issued in a bid to prevent chaos as anti-government protesters continue holding rallies in the area.

Police deputy spokesman Pol General Krisana Pattanacharoen said on Friday that the crowd control police have been on the operation of locking the Din Daeng area during the curfew time from 4 pm to 4 am since Thursday, as the Thalu Gas group often gather and cause chaos during that time. The police also announced that the Din Daeng residents are to strictly stay inside their accommodation during the curfew time.
 

The deputy spokesman said that the operation will focus on restricting the protesters or outsiders from infiltrating into the Din Daeng flat community by placing forces to firmly guard the doors and areas within various alleys.
 
“The officers are performing their duty to maintain order for the people in the area. We ask for your cooperation and understanding. The officials are monitoring the situation to see if the operation will need to be performed daily or not,” said the police.

The Minburi Criminal Court on Friday upheld an earlier verdict issued over the murder of Jakkrit Panichpatikum – a member of the national shooting team – but decided to reduce his mother-in-law’s life sentence to 25 years. All other sentences remain unchanged.

The court said Surang Duangchinda’s sentence had been reduced because she was old with no prior criminal records and had committed the crime under distress. It also said her confession had helped with the investigation of the case.

Surang, 79, said she had arranged the hit because she wanted to free her daughter from domestic abuse, which had been going on for several years.

Jakkrit, 40, was shot dead on October 19, 2013, while he was sitting in his car in Bangkok’s Minburi district.

On December 19, 2016, the Minburi Provincial Court sentenced Jakkrit’s widow, Dr Nitiwadee “Mor Nim” Pucharoenyos, and lawyer Santi Thongsem to death for masterminding the killing. It also gave a life sentence to the gunman Jeerasak Klinkhai and motorbike driver Tawatchai Phetchote. The four defendants were also ordered to pay Jakkrit’s parents 2.5 million baht in compensation.

The court, however, acquitted Jakkrit’s mother-in-law.

On August 7, 2018, the Appeal Court reversed the verdict, acquitting Jakkrit’s widow, but slapped Surang with a death sentence after she confessed to masterminding the assassination. The court later reduced her sentence to life.

Loei’s Chiang Khan district will open its doors to double-jabbed tourists from November 1 as part of the government’s plan to slowly open the country to travellers next month.

Provincial governor Chaitawat Niemsri said on Friday that the first step will be to vaccinate 70 per cent of Chiang Khan’s population above the age of 18. There are 33,968 persons who fall under this category and 55.18 per cent or 26,777 of them have received their first dose.

Chaitawat held a meeting with Loei’s communicable disease committee and tourism operators on Friday to discuss the reopening of Chiang Khan as well as set up guidelines.

Travellers to Loei will be required to show proof that they have been double-jabbed or a negative RT-PCR result taken within 72 hours. Those without proof of jabs or test results will be provided with an RT-PCR test. Those with a negative test result will be allowed to enter the province, while those testing positive will be admitted to the hospital.

Chiang Khan is a small peaceful town located on the banks of the Mekong River with Laos on the other side. It is an old city and very popular among local tourists.
