rooster59 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 TAT expects over 2 million trips to be taken over New Year break By THE NATION The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) expects local tourists to take a total of 2.75 million trips over the December 31-January 3 long weekend. TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn said tourism during the New Year holidays will inject more than Bt10.74 billion into the economy, and result in 37 per cent occupancy in hotels. He said local tourism has contracted in some places due to the new wave of Covid-19 infections, with several provinces like Bangkok, Chonburi, Sukhothai and Khon Kaen suspending their countdown events to curb transmission. The governor added that some people may also avoid travelling over the long weekend either because they have no money or don’t like traffic. Interprovincial bus company, Transport Co, has predicted that the number of passengers will drop by 30 per cent compared to the same period last year.

The question is, how many of those trips will result in further (unwelcome) trips to get tested for Covid, and then further trips to hospital or quarantine? Stay safe and stay at home, please! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do get black snow then. I need to cut up and burn about 5 or 6 dead trees including some from last year. They have fallen, have no signs of life and will take 5 or 6 years to rot completely.
