For almost two months, Bangkokians were trapped inside due to the government's full-on lockdown imposition that saw hard-pressed regulations such as no dine-in at restaurants, no shopping at malls, and a night curfew.

On September 1, however, life outside the roof has finally returned to the city. With the gradual decrease in the number of COVID-19-positive cases, the authorities deemed it appropriate for businesses to start reopening and some rules to ease off, which includes the green lights for certain venues to provide services like restaurants, shopping malls, massage parlors, public parks, and a few more. Read the news here.

Anyhow, we are as excited as everyone in the capital to finally set foot out and about as we could in the past. Major shopping malls like Siam Paragon and CentralWorld begin to see the small influxes of visitors strolling around to burn some holes in their pockets; meanwhile, Bangkok's greenery spots like Lumpini Park and Vachirabenjatas Park are getting back the low-key vibrancy from the outdoorsy.

Let's take a look at the first day of eased lockdown in Bangkok below.
