Anytime you want a testimony as to how to (mis)handle national economy vis a vis covid, take a walk through Bangkok largest ghost village aka Chatuchak Market, any day of the week, including weekend. 

 

If shops in malls are still closing one after another, two years after covid crisis, there is no soft or hard power tools capable of bringing the dead back to life. That explains why lottery is all the rage these days, I mean years.

Now that's funny...because these places are in fact overcrowded with far to many people (MBK,. Central. ICONSiam)...but I agree many people but perhaps much less spending ?

Sure, funny isn't it. Especially if you hang out around tourist spots or the rich falang (as opposed to the newcomer refugee ralangs from you know where) stomping grounds (MBK,. Central. ICONSiam).
