Thai media Daily News started the week in pessimistic style by reporting that it is nearly a year since people first heard the terms coronavirus or Covid-19.

 

Now places like Phuket and Samui and most of the tourist businesses in them are deathly quiet.

 

Places where even the 7-Elevens have shut because there is not enough trade. 

 

They used as their inspiration a Facebook post from a tourist called Siriwan Ruksat who said that the Patong area in Phuket was a "graveyard".

Apparently they had been invited for a massage because the business had no customers and when they arrived they appreciated that the rumors about the convenience store were true.

 

Other pictures included deserted streets and a bolted pharmacy.

 

A bank of ATMs had no people at them. 

 

The pandemic had seen to that.
