Huge impact on travellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still_shameless Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The airport was chaotic yesterday (Saturday). Staffing levels appeared to have been planned on the basis of nobody arriving. The plane from Sydney was about 60% capacity. It was surprising to see supermarkets with bags of rice and toilet paper stocks at normal levels. The irrational panic has not set in here yet.

No country has banned people from leaving. my countrymen were taken out of the Wuhan quarantine 2 days after it was imposed. I’m not worried. Probably not. Brunei has banned people leaving though.

Herbby Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I don’t think we could be far away from bars and restaurants closing you know. Other countries are now doing this and health minister here has already risen the possibility. If there is a surge of cases I can see that happening. Would be bad news for all the bar girls. They would be fucked (and not in the way they usually are). Edited March 15, 2020 by Herbby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Rockstar Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Wonder what’s gonna happen for Songkran next month? Would be pretty devastating for the bars etc if they had to close or ban celebrations during this period but I can see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if bars will be enforced to not partake too? This next few months will really see some bars struggle and more than likely close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thainetpat Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) The PM has been saying today to not panic, not stockpile food etc. But about 7.30pm this evening, some Truevision channels were interrupted with an Emergency notice (in Thai), telling people to stay home for 2 weeks and not stockpile food. So completely contradictory and this just panics people. 605974075.382935.mp4 605974056.836432.mp4 Edited March 15, 2020 by thainetpat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashi Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Has anyone been through Thai Immigration in the last 24 hours? Any bar closings? I'm sure there are rumors. I'm flying into BKK in two days, or not. I have a quite high risk tolerance, but not much fun to be in self quarantine and no where to go anyway.

still_shameless Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Only Mandarin closed in Nana Plaza last night. Thermae is pretty much a washout, only a handful of girls even bothering to show up, and I assume nightclubs are similar. I went through immigration on Saturday. Not a lot of people arriving, obviously. But they were still struggling to cope because there didn't seem to be a lot of staff on, and those who were working didn't seem to know what was going on. Empty restaurants everywhere. Cowboy bars mostly open, almost zero customers and some bars have almost no girls working. Massage lady today was happy to get a customer, she said "I go buy ticket home now". I asked "No customer?". She said "No, I scare". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
