Traders selling seafood at the popular Bang Saen beach resort in Chonburi complained that people were bringing their own picnics and buying seafood before they arrived.

 

The traders spoke with one voice according to Thai media that people were finally coming to the beach again, but they sure were not buying very much from them.

 

The very Thai resort had plenty of families, couples and groups of young friends on the beach for the long weekend. 

 

The local authority Saen Suk had the protocols in place and the "tessakit" were touring to make sure no alcohol was consumed. 

 

But large Thai families in particular were watching their baht.

 

It was understandable, said the traders who asked for their custom saying their wares were set price from the authority, uniform in price and reasonably priced.

Not necessarily, prices might be good value for the products but still too much for the families. People have been hit hard so spending power is less. Does not mean they think the prices are too expensive for the stuff they get just too much given the money they have now.

If they are purchasing elsewhere I do believe the people think otherwise
