There are many Thais who live paycheck to paycheck but there are also many who have money who no doubt will enjoy returning to their massages. Outside of tourist areas there is a whole Thailand out there who have plenty of massage shops who will be pleased to open and welcome back local clientele. Not everything revolves around tourism for much of the country. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I noticed, as 2 friends said they were unable to send international mail to or from Thailand, from Germany and to France. But I can't find any more info. Doesn't seem to be any official announcement. And what about imports and exports? Chinese goods on Lazada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffggi Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The first are businesses which provide life’s basic necessities, including non-air conditioned barber shops, wet markets and open-air food shops. I would imagine there are not too many none air-conditioned barber shops........ The second type are those with a large customer base and have an impact on the economy, such as shopping malls, restaurants and Thai massage parlors. This is a direct contradiction of what they are saying above or are all shopping malls going to turn off their Air-Conditioning systems.......LOL The third type are those which help to improve health, such as fitness centres, gyms and spas. Should that last one be Bars........LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of 20+ orders, only 4 orders arrived. Chinese owners told me in chat that most factories are still closed per 1 week ago. To avoid unnecessary wait, lazada customers should order from local sellers when possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
