Thais hit the park as restrictions eased

4 May

Thailand began easing restrictions on movement and gatherings, allowing restaurants, hair salons and open-air markets to resume business -- provided that social distancing is maintained and proprietors carry out temperature checks.

Joggers and cyclists crowded into Bangkok's public parks to exercise and enjoy the sun and open space after more than a month of closure.

Authorities also resumed selling alcohol after a three-week ban, though they warned that restrictions could be reinstated if it caused an increase of large gatherings.
