1. People should not travel out of Bangkok because they could be infected during travelling and may spread the disease to especially children and the elderly in other areas.

So out of touch it's laughable...

As quote by a leading doctor:

He said that prior to this month Thailand was only affected by a milder strain of the virus. But now the strain that has devastated Italy and overwhelmed medical services there has arrived in Thailand.

Hence the sudden surge in numbers starting from the boxing match where the "super spreader" infected many people after being infected himself after contact from a friend returning from Italy.

In your bed for the next month is possibly your best option.

WARNING: Covid-19 infections ‘could escalate to thousands unless social-distancing measure is strictly followed’

I think Mo-Chit terminal just made an infringement!

is the test free

No which means you can discount 90% of those attendees from testing... so many people at all of those locations, this has just gone from crazy to ridiculous.

Those in charge of the boxing venues should be hung out to dry for allowing them to run.

There are masks and there are masks, you have to have the correct ones to have any effect whatsoever.

Having no mask is no affect... anything is better than nothing....

Finance ministry proposes cash handouts for those affected by shutdown

Many private retailers, shop owners are going to suffer hard by this forced closure, 4,000 baht for 2 months covers nothing!

I have a friend in Bangkok who has a small sized hair salon, this forced closure will hit her hard, possibly losing the business. The landlord will still want rent money at the end of the month even though she's having to stop work.

Many businesses in bangkok and other provinces employing Cambodians have been shut down for the next few weeks.

Not sure if it has anything to do with the shut-down of Bangkok, we are one of the 5 bordering provinces, a construction site of shops/condos near to my home has been teaming with a mix of Cambodians & Myanmarese for the last year, From Monday I counted 3 people at the site.

Despite both public and private sector organisations distributing masks, and production being ramped up, there are increasingly reports of shortages nationwide.

But but but but.... we were promised from the master race, we have the capability to meet demand!

If this doesn't change things at the next election nothing will!

But this year it was not the Thai holidays that was causing the mass exodus but the fact that much of Bangkok has simply been shut down for 22 days to try and limit the spread of the coronavirus.

Songkran was being voiced as cancelled, this is the substitute Thai holiday... came earlier than expected this year.

All those now banned from work will take the opportunity to go home... hopes of containing the virus just went out the window!!

No social distancing at the station or on the coaches, no hope of isolation at home with family gatherings, food & beer parties at home... all in one room!

Wait till the ten thousands of Thais they lost their jobs and traveled home to their families spread the virus there. They should self-isolate but how can this be possible when they live with their family members in one room? 

The boom will come in about 2 weeks time.

All the people escaping Bkk and surrounding areas will go home and infect thousands, not hundreds.

Watch the fallout at the hospitals then, no beds, no meds and no idea!

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!
