A trip to Thailand before the full extent of the calamity Thailand faces would be very unwise. Facts are the airport screening doesn't work. The health care facilities are stressed already. Masks are in short supply. It transferred from passengers to taxi driver. The airline list who have stopped China service is an arm long. Other countries maybe added at any time. If you do travel to Thailand and they have not contained it will only be the right thing to do if you observe a 14 day self quarantine at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Given that the number of cases in China is rising by about 30% every 2 days, by the end of February there could be over a 100,000 cases. We really do have to hope China's draconian policies work, and that other countries are lucky enough to contain it, because this is looking more like a pandemic and in that case right off the entire year for tourism. Have they started wiping the finger print scanner between each traveller yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vascoda Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Only last month they were saying Chinese tourists don't contribute to Thai GDP and they only buy from their own kind and send money to China. So why shed tears now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
