Not a lot of sightseeing or exciting things happening today. Great for catching up on ‘admin’ and just flopping.
Thought I share some impressions of what we perceive as the impact of ‘you know what’
Saturday night in Bangkok famous shopping and amusement malls – like Asiatique Riverfront seem very quiet with hardly anybody around.
And when you stroll through the mall, the shop owners seem rather desperate – offering huge discounts when you only approach their stall.
The very same goes for dinner cruises on Chao Phraya River. Lots of the reviews we read mentioned packed boats, hassle to board and stampeed at the buffet. The boats we have seen cruising along had hardly one of their three decks filled.
And for hotels? We developed the theory that they are only half full too. And lots of guests got an upgrade … based on the lights being on only in top floors.
Will be interesting to see if we can still travel on to Sri Lanka at the end of the months
