Thailand sees increase of emergency decree violations – most cases were gambling and partying

According to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), there have been complaints about activities in violation of the emergency decree, 127 of which are related to gambling and eight are about violating disease-control measures. Following a raid last week on a party on Koh Samui, off the coast of Surat Thani province, authorities later found that two people at the party tested positive to COVID-19, and the incident has put other party-goers and officials at risk of contracting the virus. Prime Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, has directed officials to conduct an investigation and tighten their measures, as the incident is in violation of the emergency decree.
