TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai government has announced an extension of the lockdown and curfew, expanding the dark red zone from 13 to 29 provinces, which includes major areas like Bangkok and Chonburi. The duration of the lockdown is expected to cover the whole month of August, as per updates from Thai television. There are questions regarding the implementation of curfew in the newly added provinces and the continuity of the sandbox program, with mixed opinions on the effectiveness of lockdowns being discussed among community members.

Lockdowns don't work. Too bad Thailand is still messing around with them. Must let the virus run its course. Anything else is just a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.

 Exactly, same with masks, social distancing and all the other nonsense. Not just Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines have lost their minds, too.
