Siam Rath reported that tourism officials and tourism business leaders had persuaded dozens of hotels on Koh Chang to stop accepting tourists to help limit the spread of Covid-19. 

 

The media said that 90 so far had closed and it would be 100 very soon. Some were on the mainland in Trat but most were on the island.

 

They said that there are 500 foreigners on the island who are stranded. They have undergone rigorous health checks.

Hundreds of tourists sleeping together on the streets, great plan

[piewarmer]

Yep, i wonder if they thought about this master plan properly.

Maybe they will move all the stranded tourists to a camp.

Or maybe like you said let them sleep on the streets like soi dogs.

[steven100]

very few tourists there now, and those that are have found appropriate accomodation.

Many empty condos in bkk. 

[Tony M]

Maybe the government should use one, or more, of these "closed" islands for quarantine ?  That would stop people moving about while quarantined ?

[anthobkk]

few days ago they said that around 10,000 tourists were on the island and kept coming. Now only 500 ?

Only 500 foreigners ...... the other 9,500 tourists are Thais.

Perhaps the word got around that you were arriving.....????...................????

[LordSomchai]

he whole 10,000 arriving story was absolute BS. Hotels are not accepting new guests, and of course many have now closed. Those that are still on the island will be able to find accomodation for the duration. No one will be sleeping on streets, unless they have zero money

Lemmings. They are no longer on the island . They were just passing through to throw themselves into the sea and swim off into the sunset.

[nemo38]

We had to pass through 5 check points, where the police checked us with temperature guns or thermal cameras, to get to Koh Chang.

 

There are very few tourists here.

 

If you are already at a hotel, you can renew at that hotel, like I did yesterday.

 

There are still hotels taking new guests, so you can change hotels.

 

There is a check point blocking people travelling south from the little village beyond lonely beach.

 

Looking at deaths so far, and comparing them to a normal flu year, Covid-19 isn't exceptional. The shutdown will cause infinitely more harm.
