Chiang Rai Council of Industries will not cancel festive events despite COVID-19 outbreak

 

 

The Council of Industries of Chiang Rai will not cancel tourism-related events, already planned for the run-up to the New Year and after, despite the outbreak of COVID-19 in the province brought in by Thai returnees from Myanmar’s Thachilek township.

 

The council president, Chatchai Pattananuparb said today (Sunday) that events, such as the ASEAN flower exhibition, will go ahead as planned, while the council is now collecting information from hotels, guest houses and homestays about the actual number of reservations which have been cancelled by customers, due to concerns over the contagion.

 

Natthamon Holmberg, owner of a restaurant in Muang district, said that the recent COVID-19 outbreak is affecting her business, which saw customers drop off by about 50%.

I'm very sure they won't. The order to cancel events will come from central government and be enforced by the military when it comes.....and I really do think it's coming.

So you deem it fit with no expert advice to keep everything open, good idea 1000s infected but the flower festival goes ahead, 2nd rate 3rd world thinking.
