Speedboats also can provide service at higher rates while supply boats will run as usual.

Koh Larn’s Restaurants will also open until 8 p.m. with 75 percent capacity for outdoor/non-air-conditioned seating and 50 percent for indoor and air-conditioned. No alcohol sales are allowed.

Businesses, including convenience stores, can operate from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. Hotels can open normally but cannot open swimming pools, meeting rooms or offer party services.

Beaches are open for relaxing, but no group activities. Gatherings are limited to five people, and the nighttime curfew remains in place from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m.
