Interesting timing; I am listening to a public service announcement over a PA system here in Ranode (Songkhla) that is saying the same basic thing, but tailored to this community...

It shouldn't be all that different wherever you go in Thailand.  I do like the fact that people are still functioning.  Markets are still running. Restaurants are still open (take away food).  It's still thailand.   But just a lot more face masks.    Not sure if the beach will be deserted or not.    Great place to eat your takeaway food.
