Rob right now daily life you know this is the 2nd day the 1st business day of the relaxation of these restrictions that were imposed back in march you know its a slow and steady process according to the government you know its going to be every 2 weeks where they reevaluate how things are going and then theyll decide if a move forward in lifting some of these restrictions right now as you mentioned you know some more shops are allowed to open up the restaurants are allowed to have people dine in but theyll be this so still distancing very strict social distancing measurements within those restaurants that weve always had a and encourage work from home directly from the government here never really fully enforced that remains in place also when you look at the Public Transportation here in bangkok very critical for this very very crowded city all people riding on Public Transportation still have to wear a mask now when it comes to the future of big contributor to the Gross Domestic Product here in thailand how thailand makes its money comes from the Tourism Industry and there have been a couple of announcements about how things will be moving forward we know that there is a ban on inbound International Flights that will stay in place until the end of may that is in place the airports here in thailand will only be open from 7 am to 7 pm to further curb the air traffic if you will some domestic flights restarted at the end of last week but still very limited at this stage right now when you look at again the importance of it thats why were here in this neighborhood of old bangkok this is really a touristy area called zone area there are still very few tourists here obviously that is going to remain the case for several weeks if not months to come you know were looking at projects in numbers coming out from the government down at least 40 percent the 1st quarter of this year in tourist numbers thats going to be even better. For the 2nd quarter and again thats very very important for the economy here so obviously the government is not traveling to try to figure out other ways for the nation here to make money its called hyla giving us a date from thailand as it reopens i want to bring in Florence Louie shes joining us live from kuala lumpur so my leisure is easing restrictions as well florence just talk us through what thats going to mean for people there and what the reaction has been like.
