Stray observations relating to coronavirus...
Most thai front line service workers are wearing masks.
Alcohol hand sanitizers have been at every store, restaurant, mall and hotel that i’ve seen. Mcdonalds and 7-eleven included.
I’m seeing maybe 20-30% of people wearing masks, but i’ve only been traveling the usual tourist areas.
Chinese tourists are still arriving. Smaller numbers but definitely from mainland china.
Ripple effect in place. Less korean, japanese, singaporean tourists as well.
Businesses everywhere feeling the ripple effect. My hotel’s restaurants have been nearly empty when in the past they’ve been full house for their buffets. Mall food courts at lunch and dinner have been easier to get a seat.
WGs have much less business as well. One told me i’m her only customer for three days.
If you have no fear then now is a good time to visit thailand. My hotel offered me 50% off their very expensive buffet due to lack of customers. It’s way easier to get a seat at the restaurants you want. I used to eat early or late to avoid the rushes. And way easier to get your favourite WG who is less busy.
That said, i’ve purposely been avoiding some places with high concentration of people like chinatown and some malls. | |

Thanks for the update! But I would stay away from those germy buffets |
