webfact Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Chiang Mai’s largest retail market for fresh food, fruits and vegetables, Muang Mai, remains eerily quiet for a second day today (Sunday) after the provincial communicable disease committee decided to close it for three days for disinfection following the emergence of a fresh cluster of COVID-19 infections. All the shops in the market are shuttered and the only sign of life is the presence of a Royal mobile medical unit located next to a fire station on the bank of the Ping River, to conduct COVID-19 testing of high-risk people. Many shopkeepers and their employees were seen this morning waiting to be screened.

Sticky Rice Balls Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Im pretty sure I can guess why there was a cluster with the thai "mai pen rai" mindset... Rules only apply to the dirty falangs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommers Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The requirements published days ago for a November 1 reopening of CM include the fact that there are no new hotspots. So I guess that with the more than trebling of daily new cases we can kiss goodbye to having 90 tourists a day arrive to rescue the local tourism sector. Add to this the unbelievably slow vaccination rate that has yet to reach even 40% and you could say that the fancy pants new governor has some work to do.

CNXBKKMAN Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Veg prices are up and you get less of them. Muang Mai supplies a lot stuff that is then sold at other city markets like Tanin. I didnt visit yesterday but heard that Tanin market is busier and traders from Muang Mai have moved operations to Tanin (and probably other city markets?) until Muang Mai reopens.

Dont confuse me Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 It's just mirroring the effect the virus has had on most of Europe. I'm afraid it's something that's going to be with us one way or another for some time. On the positive side it appears that fatalities are reducing. My mindset is that it has to be respected and precautions need to be adhered to, but I'm not letting it totally control my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geistfunke Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 It is best that no one goes shopping for anything anymore. We can all survive well with a small permaculture farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
