Re: Border and bar closings
Well the trip to Nadee is done, I have 4 cases of beer and a wine box so I'm all good. The roads didn't seem any quieter to me, pretty much the same, Tesco's wasn't much quieter either, pretty much a regular day I'd say. All in all I'm more inclined to agree with Jon, nothing is being taken seriously here at all.
The forest was shrinking daily but the trees kept voting for the axe as its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them.

Re: Border and bar closings
But the inner city is undeniably quieter and businesses mostly shuttered. Maybe, apart from the HGV's running "essentials", we are seeing NWS, Kut Chap, Nong Sa-at, Nong Sai and other Udon satellite and suburban traffic seeking "essentials" that they can't find in their locations? I am not sure if many markets are closed but since we don't see any evidence of panic buying (yet), maybe it's just the average Somchai looking for some moo hang or fresh pak xxxxx for today's dinner?
That and the perpetually argumentative Jockinese doing their social distancing bit since the penny still hasn't dropped with 60% of the gang at Castle tamada.

Re: Border and bar closings
The way things are going I'm not sure the poor sods will have the money to panic buy, what with a lot of them getting no wages and now I see the prices of essentials are expected rise markedly (why?) I'm not sure they'll be able to even if they want to. The distancing thing isn't happening, outside Krung Thai bank today was a comedy and twice I had to tell people to move away from us while we were paying for my essential supplies.

Re: Border and bar closings
Had to go to town today to collect my swimming pool pump posted from Bangkok after repair.
I have to drive past Do Home & Home Hub.
Noticed they were both closed with gates barricaded off.
I was hoping after my son has finished his 14 days isolation after returning from Australia tomorrow we could start to decorate the house is now living in.
Where can you buy paint to completely decorate inside & outside the house plus other articles.
Is Global house or Thai Watsadu or any other home improvement stores open for sales of home improvement articles ???.
I would think having to isolate yourself these articles would be for sale as these places are not usually crowded.
Also you should be able to buy articles to fix things like broken pipes etc.

Global on HWY2 are operating a telephone ordering system & then collect your bits from the edge of the car park. Can’t comment on how well it works, not tried it

You can also do click & collect from the app. I’ve got the Apple version, don’t know whether they’ve got Android. It’s all in Thai though so can be a bit long winded searching things out for an English chap

You can get all your decorating supplies there . Better trained staff and cheaper than Global in my opinion .

Re: Border and bar closings
Had to swoop into town yesterday to pay an essential bill , what did i see ..
i purposely drove thru town via TSM and around a few locations ...still seeing all the noddle shops , isan food and similar open and very busy , no SD but most wearing masks.
As posted by Tam the town center was (not suprisingly) quiet traffic wise , whilst the Ring road near the airport remains busy as a normal day.
Soi Samphan .. totally closed except hotels , laundries and the booze shop opp Irish Clock... a hand full of freelancers hanging around on the corner Phosri rd end of Samphan , not one ladyboy , from a distance looked like the Spice Girls then upon a closer drive by the Spice Girls GRANDMOTHERS .. and and the perfect advertisement for hand gel n self pleasuring ive ever seen.
Construction work at the museum on going and other locations.
Toyota Taharn Rd open but deserted only staff.
Banks open but looked very quiet.
All big DIY places closed .. smaller builders merchants open.
all barber shops closed inc the roadside ones i use .. gonna look like a hill billy vagrant soon !!! im growing a beard
Karen hotel set up a stand out front on Wattanapong rd offering free snacks and drinks.
Grab bikes out in there zillions
Nadee Tesco n Big C car parks busy...Makro cp also
My fav bbq chicken lady has packed up n gone
Took Megan the JR pup for her vacine .. vets told to stop non essential services ie grooming.
Got a roadside takeaway roast chicken on way back to office and the great duck noodle n food place 30m from my office is open WITH 6 instead of 12 tables
I am of the opinion this can be beaten by staying at home , curfews , restrictions etc but not seeing the governmnets requests being embraced by the majority YET .. and for the most part not taking this situation seriously.
remain safe to ALL even Grimsby fans and Diane Abbot .. in times like this we should not descriminate against anyone even fish smelling retards and mathematically challenged fookwits.

^ The Shetlands' neither want or need England's social rejects. The ponies would be upset for starters.
Pick one of your own islands.
The Scilly's maybe? Sounds perfect IMHO.

Re: Border and bar closings
Well the trip to Makro was done, ring road as busy as usual, Nittayo road as busy as it always is on a non school day, Makro quieter than usual, to be expected as a lot of bars and restaurants are closed. The village same, same, all sitting outside the mom and pop shop, the concept of social distancing? Forget it.

Re: Border and bar closings
Perhaps the money being spent on 3.7 million new firearms would be far better spent helping those in need and therefore removing the need to increase crime riots and looting
