I've heard there's also some schools and nursery in Nakhon Ratchasima province ordered the closure from July 15-19 July. Outside Bangkok, the decision for school closure seems up to each school director.

Hmmm... Hard to see how its better that infected kids spread to the general populous (via trips to the mall and game online stores) than the closed school group. But hey, maybe all the kids will stay at home and avoid contact with any non-essential surfaces.... oooo mummy! look, a flying pig!
