    Thailand was the first country outside China to record a case of the coronavirus, back in January, but its daily tally of new cases has fallen to single digits for the past week, with a total of 2,969 confirmed infections and 54 deaths, as of Sunday. | Customers' protective masks hang on their ears as they eat food.

    "My stall has been closed for 40 days, because no one's been here. I've lost 70% of my income," said Taweesak Tabthong the owner of a famous Chinatown shark fin restaurant, who was happy to see a queue of customers outside. | A man sits in his car as he buys take away at street stall.

    But a nighttime curfew, from 10 p.m., will remain until the end of the month so it will be some time before Bangkok's famous night life even begins to get back to normal. Image Credit: Reuters
