Only fair since Bangkok kids don't get any snow days off. 

 

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will close all its 146 schools in the capital on January 13, the day when the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) announced to shut down Bangkok to pressure the resignation of the caretaker prime minister.

 

The primary and secondary school closure proposal was agreed upon during the meeting of the BMA executives and school directors which are to be affected by the capital shutdown.

 

BMA assistant governor Attaporn Suwatanadecha said at the meeting of the BMA executives and school directors, over 80% of participants agreed to close the schools on January 15.

 

However he made clear that the one-day closure has nothing to do with the safety of students but because of inconvenient traffic as many schools are located near and at the protest sites.

 

He said that the PDRC has assured that the protests at various significant places of the capital would be peaceful and therefore it was not the reason to close but mainly affected traffic.

 

He said schools to be closed comprising 41 in Central Bangkok, 59 in Bangkok South, and 46 in Bangkok North.

 

But he said that school directors have authority to order further closure if they considered the situation turns unsafe

He added the closure proposal would be concluded again today by the Bangkok governor and school directors.
