Gen. Prayuth Chanocha is expected to announce the end of the nationwide curfew today.

After fighting aggressively to have the World Cup shown for free throughout Thailand, the junta is expected to lift the curfew to coincide with the quadrennial sports event, which will air live in Thailand at 3am.

The sources said that Lt-Gen Thirachai Narkvanich, commander of the First Army Region, had already submitted to NCPO chief General Prayuth a situation assessment report which would be used for consideration to determine whether curfew should be completely lifted.

Prayuth is expected to make the announcement when he delivers his weekly address later today, Thai PBS reported.
