Bangkok airport deserted as Covid-19 travel restrictions and curfew tighten

Footage shows an airport in Bangkok, Thailand today (July 14) with the departure area almost deserted following the tightening of Covid-19 travel restrictions.

Domestic carriers cancelled hundreds of flights around the country after ministers announced a 9pm - 4am curfew last Friday (July 9). They also introduced checkpoints around the capital to 'discourage interprovincial travel' following a sudden rise in Covid-19 cases to almost 10,000 a day.
