According to the announcement of the Ministry of Public Health (Thailand) (MoPH), Covid-19 is a very dangerous pandemic and it is quickly spreading in Thailand.
So, Thailand will suspend the crossing of the goods and the vehicles carrying the persons via border checkpoints until the situation turns back to normal. The temporary closure is aimed to control the spreading of Covid-19 in the Ranong province of the southern part of Thailand.
