Hoarding in Pattaya
I don't like hoarding, I think it's something anti-social, like ′′ me, me, me ′′ and that's not in my nature at all. But there are those moments when my social feeling and common sense cannot compete with Thai logic. That is what I am now facing in the public fight against the spread of the coronavirus, because what happened?
Damn, that face mask won't stay on...
The disadvantage of hoarding is that you have to go out again and again to replenish the stock. Or have to buy things that you forgot the previous times. So then into the deep end, the face mask on the nose and to Market Village in Hua Hin. Only that damn face mask won't stay on, too small for a big farang bakkes.
To hamster, or not to hamster. That's the question…
It's a complicated problem because we don't know how Covid-19 is going to spread in Thailand. Hoarding is already happening on a large scale in Bangkok and Pattaya. In Hua Hin there is still little sign of this, but what is not, can come soon.
We are flying to Thailand next week. We decided to go anyway, because otherwise we would have lost our money for the tickets. The cancellation insurance does not pay out in this situation. We are going backpacking for 4 weeks. We, two women, wondered if everything is still available in Thailand because of the corona virus? Otherwise we have to take a lot more from here. Like, for example, sanitary towels and other things for women?
