Most people want a vacation from the lockdown, survey shows

By The Nation

 

 

An opinion survey conducted by retailer Watsons learned that most people want to go travelling once the Covid-19 outbreak comes to an end.

 

The survey, by the international health and beauty retailer from April 8 to 22, asked 4,000 women aged between 18 and 39 what they wanted to do once the crisis is over. Of the respondents, 21 per cent said they wanted to visit natural attractions within the country, and 37 per cent chose Hua Hin, 29 per cent Chiang Mai and 9 per cent Chiang Rai.

 

Meanwhile, 14 per cent said they wanted to go overseas, of whom 53 per cent wanted to fly to Japan, 15 per cent to South Korea and 9 per cent to England.

 

As for what they wanted to do immediately, 19 per cent said they want to go shopping again, even though the government’s lockdown measures has made online shopping more popular, while 17 per cent said they wanted to go out for a meal, especially buffet. The government has allowed many restaurants to reopen provided they strictly implement social-distancing measures.

 

Of the women surveyed, 11 per cent said they wanted to go to the beauty salon for skin and hair treatment and manicures.

Most people want the option to a return to normalcy...

 

Waiting for zero new viruse cases is a bit optimistic...don't you think?

I need a vacation. My family needs a vacation. No water festival down time and then the BS no travel from home BS. I want to travel but I know it is still not the time as the virus is out there and the real data not available as I believe there is a cover up. 

Nothing surprising here I expect many people can relate to this stary and would agree that getting away from all this lockdown and restrictions would be the ideal way. What I fail to understand is why TAT think that tourists with a modicum of intelligence will want to be locked down and have to adhere to stupid restrictions in another district or country - it's just not going to happen.....!!!!!

Sure, everyone would love a break... we just need to negotiate a cease fire with the virus... but it is blockheaded, purposeful and unrelenting...

I want a Rolls Royce but I can't afford one... what most people want is out of reach.

Better to ask, what they can afford to do!

Sounds like you've swallowed the official propaganda hook line and sinker. Try this antidote.

I would love to see the list of questions asked.

The survey was done more than 6 weeks ago (April 8 to 22) why reveal the responses now? Also many Thais will now have less disposable income than a month ago due to the extended lock down...

Possibly along the lines of ‘ how often do you hit your wife?’

A strange organisation / business to conduct this survey.  Almost like the Royal Horticultural Society conducting a survey on which sport respondents preferred to take part in.
