I can confirm this.
Not just BKK is dead, but pretty much all the main tourist hotspots are also on their knees.
I actually made a thread the other day about it, for which I was repeatedly shot down and told 'it's busy where I am' etc etc..
Mostly nonsense from the usual suspects here.
I am in Koh Chang now and it is dead as can be.
It's actually quite depressing.
