Thailand: curfew lifted in Pattaya, Koh Samui and Phuket

The National Council for Peace and Order (NPCO), in charge of the country since the coup in Thailand has lifted today the curfew in Pattaya, Samui and Phuket, which are three of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand outside Bangkok.

The decision was announced this morning and may open the door to other curfew lifts even if the announcement made clear that the curfew will remain in place from midnight to 4 am in the rest of the country.

The curfew was lifted after complaints tourist operators who lost a lot of money because of the obligation to close before midnight and the fact that it scared  some travelers who change plans and did not come to Thailand.
