Elsewhere, several districts in Phetchaburi are now curfew-free. They are Khao Yoi, Nong Ya Plong, Tha Yang, Ban Lat, Kang Krachan, Ban Laem and Muang districts.

The curfew was also lifted in parts of Trat, where grenade and gun attacks against People's Democratic Reform Committee protesters in February killed three people, including two children. These areas include Muang, Khao Saming, Khlong Yai, Laem Ngop, Bo Rai and Koh Kut districts.

The junta on Friday lifted the curfew in Krabi and Phangnga. On Sunday, it scrapped the ban in Koh Chang district of Trat, Hat Yai district of Songkhla and Koh Phangan district of Surat Thani.
