They were spotted on the roads and at varied places during the six-hour curfew, from 10:00 p.m. to 04:00 a.m. (local time) daily, the Thai police said on April 6.
Those curfew breakers, found to have had no understandable reasons for remaining outside of their home, would be faced with legal actions in court under the current emergency rule.
They included adolescent motorcyclists on the roads, groups of alcoholic drinkers or drug users and groups of indoor gamblers, among others.
The same day, Thailand decided to extend the restriction of all flights to the country from April 6 to the end of April 18 in an effort to contain the pandemic./.
