Almost 40 Thai provinces have brought in entry restrictions and quarantine requirements for people travelling from Bangkok and other coronavirus hotspots ahead of a holiday travel period, as the capital grapples with soaring infections.
On Sunday the government announced 967 new infections, bringing the overall tally to more than 32,000.
Separately, health officials in the northern city of Chiang Mai flagged a further 281 cases that were likely to be included in Monday’s national figures.
Bangkok appears to be the epicentre of Thailand’s third wave, with more than 1,000 cases reported this month.
More than 4,000 people are in hospital with coronavirus across the country.
