BANGKOK, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's military junta on Friday night announced to lift the curfew across the country, effective immediately.

Since there are no signs of violence in areas where the curfew from midnight to 4 a.m. local time has been imposed, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) decided to lift the curfew nationwide to allay the impact on people's daily life and tourism, an NCPO announcement said.

The announcement was issued following NCPO chief Prayuth Chan- ocha's weekly televised address.
