I was at Central Festival today and saw this:  1) One couple had 48 rolls of toilet paper and two bags of rice along with some usual grocery items.  2) A woman had a shopping cart full of infant formula.  The checkout lines were a little bit longer but it was not like a panic shopping.  All the shelves were fully stocked.  

I was at Rimping (Meechok Plaza) a bit before 2 and it was crowded. Saw some with two or even three shopping carts piled high with stuff. Buying everything and lots of it. I left because I only wanted a couple of items. Went around the corner to Tops Market and there was hardly anyone there. In and out in 4 minutes.

I was in Tops Chotana today, and almost everyone had just one package of toilet paper, 1-2 packages of instant noodles, and a just a few cans of fish or beans. The shelves were pretty full except for canned fish.

Yes, why so much TP.

I just spray it clean, then wipe off the water with my hand.

I thought everyone did it this way.

Nah, I keep a dog for that. ????

Medical marijuana....

....stuff you would never eat if things were normal.

cash in the ATMs was gone, so were all beans in Makro

The supermarket runs and hoarding going on the US is big on Thai news- TP is a major item- the Thais buying loads of it are just copying them. 
 

I told my wife that butt-washers aren't big in the US, necessitating a greater need for the stuff.

Copying, or scared? I think the latter.

 

Hoarding is not only "going on in the US"

Yes, I'm aware of that- I was referring to the toilet paper hoarding specifically, which, as some people in the US have literally hundreds of rolls, seems a bit excessive...

 

I'm from the US, and I'm keeping a close eye on what's going on as I'm worried about my elderly father who's in NY.

I finish by licking my hand to make sure the job was well done.

From what I remember it started in Hong Kong after a rumour that the raw material would be diverted to making mask in China. Then in Australia, I think they got scared for the same reason. The rest of the world followed even tho, I think most of the toilet paper is produced locally. Especially North America, I don't see how there could be shortage of toilet paper unless some required chemicals come from China.
