Some members of the opposition suspect that the government may be facing financial problems and that there is a possibility that public debt has surpassed 60%, which means there is not enough cash to pay subsidies like the last lockdown.

And without new blockbuster films to show, we've seen many cinemas rerun old movies in the past few months, whether it's Hong Kong action/drama classic A Moment Of Romance (1990), Christopher Nolan's sci-fi epic Inception (2010), Korean zombie movie Train To Busan (2016), or action hit starring Keanu Reeves John Wick Chapter 3 (2019).

Following the lifting of restrictions by the government in various phases, Bangkok is slowly coming back to life.
