Ten new normal behaviors of Thai people – Suan Dusit Poll

 

People stand in line to enter the Siam Paragon shopping mall as it reopened after restrictions to halt the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus were lifted in Bangkok on May 17, 2020.

 

Most Thai people have changed their tourism behavior by visiting destinations and using transport which are safe, according to an opinion poll by Suan Dusit University.

 

The Suan Dusit Poll conducted an online survey of 1,064 people, from May 18th to 22nd, asking them about their “new normal” behavior patterns, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The 10 new normal behaviors of Thai people are as follows:

 

• Safe tourism destinations and travel                                                                                                                          71.05%
• Shopping at malls only if necessary and with caution                                                                                             61.18%
• Self-protection when on public transport by rising earlier and carrying sanitizer gel                                         59.68%
• Attend gatherings only when necessary and with greater caution                                                                        59.40%
• Self-protection by wearing face masks, washing hands and avoiding congested places                                 56.39%
• Choose food which is clean, safe and healthy                                                                                                           47.27%
• Worshipping at places which are clean, not congested and on special occasions only                                    46.43%
• Exercising regularly, eating healthy food and seeing a doctor                                                                                45.39%
• Choose clean and freshly-cooked food                                                                                                                       45.11%
• Emphasis on safe workplaces and working hard                                                                                                      42.39%

What nonsense, since the problems with the virus started, our local temple/ villagers have been going, crowding into the temple, just the same as always.

Masks/ social distancing, dont make me laugh.

Well, no surprises there then  -  we already knew that Thai Buddhism was above the law.

Other than ridicule does anyone actually believe or care what a "poll" shows ?.......naahhhhh

Wrong more than 71.05% of the population have been in a mall, because have air-con in a mall and taking selfies.

sick of reading and hearing "new normal". nothing is new, it's all temporary. everyone will revert to pre-covid behaviors and attitudes, until the next pandemic hits. 

[redwood1]

This is the new normal......

If by special occasions, they mean Buddha days, they should realise that those are the days NOT to go to the temple! 46.43% of the population will be going on those days.

Strangely enough, our area, which has the highest concentration of temples in Thailand, has seen it very quiet at all the temples. It seems that the Monks are keeping the public out almost completely, after morning prayers are over.

As we saw in the recent post of a typical Bangkok street full of Thais... 

[Almer]

The issue i have with the social distancing is leaving a 1 or 2 metre social distancing gap as requested allows thai's to queue jump, happened yesterday in a Macdonalds and the  staff started to take her order when they clearly saw her jump the Q, i soon put pay to that, some are rude some are stupid but the server should have put her to the back of the Q.

[Bender Rodriguez]

they should stop this joke... qr & same pencil for hundreds of people 

[jonclark]

If the photo in the OP is the 'Thai Shopping Mall' experience, the I can add - never going to a shopping mall to my list of temporary behaviours. I dislike queing at the best of times, but queuing to get on an escalator - @#45!!& Nah not happening. 

 

btw - new normal, this is not normal, this is abnormal and baseless fear mongering. I do not fear being in contact with my fellow human beings, despite the range of unusual and communicable diseases we are all able to give one another.

Looking at the percentages it's less than half for half the dot points. So five out of 10 cannot be 'new normal' (please, please, please stop it) because I would think if it's less than half it can't be normal. 

E.g. I eat breakfast six days a week. I can say I normally eat breakfast. I eat breakfast two or three days a week I cannot say I normally eat breakfast. Of course the flaw in my post is I'm employing logic. TIT.

It's hard to get an assault rifle In Thailand. Crikey,  around here I  would have to walk 2 houses down to borrow one.  And the cost of ammo is....ridiculous in the extreme!
