Chiang Mai in virus panic: Thai woman says she went out on the town right after getting off the plane from South Korea

 

 

Thai media reported that Chiang Mai was in turmoil after a Thai woman went online to boast that as soon as she got off the plane from South Korea she went out on the town. 

 

The lady had gone straight to the Funky Grill, a "mala" Chinese barbecue restaurant.

 

After that she had gone out drinking at a pub. 

 

She hadn't bothered with self-quarantine or otherwise.South Korea is one of the most affected places in Asia from the coronavirus/Covid-19 outbreak.

 

Thousands of workers there - many illegal - are returning back to Thailand. 

 

77kaoded went to the restaurant and found staff in masks and rubber gloves doing deep cleaning under the guidance of executives. 

 

An unnamed spokesman said that the restaurant had been notified after closing about the woman's post when someone phoned. 

 

Two staff who came into close contact with the woman have been told to stay off work. 

 

They stated that they were powerless to stop a member of the public entering their premises as they had no knowledge about her prior movements.

 

The woman had boasted online in Thai: "Long khreuang pup khaw raan aharn pap" - which in English translates to: "As soon as I got off the plane I went to a restaurant".

 

77kaoded said Chiang Mai was shocked.
