Thanks for the info, was totally unaware.

I live in naklua so unsure if will be affected although it does state North Pattaya road will be and I am fairly close to that.

I will store a little to get by just in case.

There are 1.74 million Thais in Chonburi

Always amazes me how few of the 1.74 million Thai's are registered in Chonburi when it's time for an election.   ????

Money, money, money, thats all you hear about here, money.

We will lose money, sod the fact people are dropping all over the place, some even dying.

Pathetic that we hear tourist numbers will be down, 50 billion baht lost.

Lets hope it lasts 6 months it will sort out the baht value.

Ironic to say the least.

My sincere hope is that long term diagnosis of this damned virus turns out to be another SARS / SARS ++ and not the horror movie scenario. (1) That said I think there is little doubt that the short term prospects are looking pretty grim. Behaviours will change , rumours will spread like wildfire on social media and people will become afraid. 10s of thousands of Chinese marooned in Thai hotels and resorts will create their own drama. (2)

 

(1) That would appear to be most peoples point of reference, judging by the hysteria on here.

 

(2) No, they won't. They are very pragmatic people. Much more grounded than the nut jobs you find around Pattaya.

2. Yes they will. Pragmatic? You're having a laugh. Ever seen them have a feeding frenzy at a buffet?

I for one am staying home drinking port, and have started new games on my computer, wife and I have most friends on messenger, free phone or video call( and I must say the video calls are great) video calls to Australia are spot on also

Electronic devices can get viruses also, just not the coronavirus.  ????

Ok, I am not going to ask you explain why a fatal disease that were it to last 6 months would be a global pandemic is something to wish for ... I am a bit interested to learn the how and why you think it would be good for the Thai Baht ...

 

That being said, my gold holdings are doing quite nicely, thank you ... and expect them to increase 10% in the future.

Not that hard to explain, i will. Asian economy will suffer a lot if the disease keep killing and infecting people, that will make thai bath weaker compared to non asian currencies. 

 

About your gold savings I hope you dont have a bank certificate that says "we certificate you own gold".

They won't be coming back. Every Western news outlet is listing Thailand first as a country that Coronavirus has spread to. What few Westerners that were coming here are cancelling.

I'm not cancelling ........ yet.

It's all about money and that's all it ever will be, but for once it would be nice if there were some regard and humanity. Who gives a flying one about Pattaya,  Nong Hooch gardens and local tourism! How about thanking the Chinese in general for laying down billions of baht in your city/country by setting up a gofundme or summat and sending funds to Wuhan? Yeah, thought so.

Where on earth did you get that little nugget of falsehood?You must be under the delusion that viruses only occur in humans!

Never mind how many people get sick, let's worry about the money loss.

ok, if i must..

 

i hope the dwindling visitors does not result in the usual thai response when funds dry up. hike prices for those who are here.
