StevieAus Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I live North of Chiang Mai, visited both Makro and Tesco this morning, the only areas restricted in both stores were electrical and clothing no problem with alcohol ( the main reason for the visit) no restrictions on toiletries, baby clothes and requirements. The explanation given for the restrictions was to try to reduce customers for non essentials and the time they spent in the store. Seemed to be working especially in Tesco.

cyril sneer Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 no change in my Tesco apart from the temperature scanners as you walk in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logosone Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Went to L'Opera this morning, well stocked with delicious patisserie and baguette. Got 3 baguettes, apple pie and apple crumble. So delicious. Then headed to a pet shop, got some hay and headed to Big C past CentFest in CM. Temperature scanners, a few shelves empty, especially instant noodles and soft drinks, otherwise well stocked. Non food areas were taped off. So you can buy pet toys but not children's clothes. Still, no need to be concerned, of course some shelves will be empty because of the panic buying. They'll just be re-stocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moontang Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 People standing in 711 on their smart phones..never a good idea..now, just plain dumb..free air-conditioning, perhaps? And letting the kids run wild? Even more stupid, but nothing new, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of ladies in Bangkok..I think they just like to drive their cars around congested streets and take a few selfies at some restaurants with beach sunset then back in the car to BKK ????

The shops that have been forced to close, how does it help them to not allow supermarkets to sell similar products? It helps no one, and it hurts both the supermarket and every consumer who wants to buy something restricted, and it hurts the overall economy which doesn't get as much of a boost from consumer spending. stay well.

Info should not have to be town/city specific but let people know how controls are being enforced in different areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
