This week: no lockdown, no bar reopening, 'Boss' mystery and a street shooting.
The government will not impose a lockdown despite concerns about the Omicron variant of Covid-19.
However, the government might also further delay the reopening of pubs, bars and karaoke shops as it believes they pose a high Covid risk.
In Pattaya, bars have urged the government to ease Covid rules to allow them to sell alcoholic drinks ahead of the New Year Festival.
Over 80% of the population has been vaccinated and the rate of infections and Covid-19 clusters has dropped significantly, a Pattaya business leader said.
Red Bull scion Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya, wanted for a hit-and-run case from 2012, is believed to be in Austria.
Police, however, claimed to still not know his whereabouts.
A government worker has surrendered to police to face a charge of murdering a passenger in his mother's car, who was chased and shot dead in Kanchanaburi.
The victim was shot 10 times in the head and body with a 9mm pistol, police said.
