Arunothai must be doing very well... perhaps the type of shoppers there are too busy to go a little further for the wide range of selection in Big CX.

Same kind of people who hazard crossing a busy chaotic street , rather than the pedestrian overpass 30 meters away. Throw trash down rather than depositer close by.

Popular Post redwood1 Posted February 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I went to Harbor mall today.......All floors.......It was unbelievable.... About 80% of the business are closed..... Most restaurants closed....I did see one customer in KFC which was the most busy restaurant... The ice skating rink closed...Only 2 or 3 mobile phone shops are still open.... The aircon turned way down to save money I think..... It's looking pretty sad all the way around.... Big C Extra is way way more busy and it's not all that busy.... Edited February 25, 2021 by redwood1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By quarantining people, you get to quarantine the virus as well. Granted, it's not the best solution, economically, but it "buys precious time." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it much better to be here in Thailand during the pandemic than their home countries? One reason for that is much earlier, much wider adoption of mitigation measures like masks. Nothing's perfect! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
