    Pinnart Charoenpol, director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Pattaya office, said March 13 that she believes the coronavirus pandemic crisis that is shutting down most of the world will ease enough that people tourists start returning to Thailand in May or June.

    It's been a pleasant couple of weeks without the daily T.A.T drivel... now they come out with this?

    Seriously deluded!

    Bus station Mor Chit was packed today.

    The weekend saw a mass exodus from Bangkok to home towns, some will be infected and act as carriers on the way home in the transport and when they arrive... 

    Most say Bkk is closed with nothing to do, they refuse to sit at their accommodation so are heading to family far away in the hope of some normality.

    Expect the numbers to surge more in a week or two!

    if the majority are in BKK that would be a smart move to keep them there and don't allow them to travel and spread it out, thus first and foremost, lock down/shut down/block down, halt any and all traffic out of BKK

    Too late, someone I know working in Bangkok headed back to Roi-Et today... she said the bus station was packed with people going home around the country. Most quoted, "stay in Bkk for what, everything's closed and nothing to do".

    Huge amount of daily jumps now. Similar to how it started in Europe a few weeks ago. Got a feeling they need to impose a proper lockdown (this government have done it before) to avoid Thailand becoming like Italy or Spain very soon. 

    A lockdown is one thing... fully explaining what "self-isolation" actually means is another.

    Expect the numbers to rocket as carriers still continue to go out or mingle with family members at home!
