Emergency Decree
 
Click into picture for original size Extended
On November 26th 2021, the Thai cabinet extended the state of emergency nationwide by two months until the end of January 2022, ostensibly to deal with the local Covid 19 situation.
The extionsion was proposed by the National Security Council (NSC).
The NSC functions as the operations unit of the government's Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration and is supervised by Thailand's Prime Minister, Dictator, Songwriter and the man of many words Prayut Chan-o-cha.
This is the 15th extension of the special law.
The government insistes that the extension is necessary to facilitate the swift and integrated implementation of measures to control Covid-19 for the sake of public safety.
This special law was enacted March 26th, 2020, and gives Prayut Chan-o-cha wide-ranging powers, including a ban on large gatherings to prevent anti-government protests.

The new Terminal21 multi-storey car park is nearing completion and is due to open shortly.
Once again, the difference between the private sector and politics is drastically demonstrated here:
It took less time to build the entire car park than to lay the cables underground on the few metres of Walking Street.
