TLDR : Answer Summary
Upon entering Thailand and completing quarantine, masks are mandatory in all stores and are generally recommended outside and in public market areas. Travelers must check in and out using QR codes, and temperatures are checked before entering stores. As of now, there are travel restrictions between some provinces, which are expected to evolve, especially with various outbreaks. During the Thai New Year (Songkran), while travel appears permissible, many celebratory events have been canceled due to health concerns. For the most current information, it is advisable to refer to official news sources.

Expect inter provincial travel to change very quickly. There are numerous outbreaks in various provinces and the situation will change daily I suspect. For Songkran (Thai New Year) it looks like everything is open for travel. I would expect changes very soon after.

however; all songkran events: water parades, pageants, music are cancelled which leaves songkran as just a word.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, Masks required in all stores, temperature required before entering stores, and checking in/out using QR codes.

It's expected to wear masks outside (especially with the pollution) and at markets too.
