Living in Thailand March 2020, What are the Changes?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- In this episode we visit a Lotus Supermarket, among other places, and try to document the changes going on in the struggle to keep everyone safe and healthy. At the gas station we realize about a thirty percent reduction in the price of fuel. Around the neighborhood there are changes in effect almost everywhere we look in the interest of protecting the public and the beach sees it's lowest number of guests, possibly ever. Enjoy the Ride!

When are you going to introduce your girlfriend I see she is always with you
I have never notice her until you said it
which one?
I thought he was being tailed by a covert police officer 😁

I just came back from a 2 week trip to Thailand (Phuket/Bangkok). All the tourist hotspots suddenly became so quiet, it had a really weird feel to it..
I feel worried about the economic consequences related to the virus as the poor won't have any income for an undetermined period. This potentially can lead to more deaths (in developing countries) than the virus itself.
There are worse places to ride out storms than Bangsaen. A lot worse.
Hello, from California. Thank you for the update! I'm certainly hoping things calm down sooner than later, but I'm just trying to be optimistic. Things are crazy here in the U.S.
Already have my plane ticket back to Thailand for this coming November, and really crossing my fingers I'll be able to make that trip a reality. Take good care, and stay safe. 🙏
I’m sure you will. Stay safe everyone.
I hope the Thai people who grind every single day can make it through this.
It will be fine.
Hey buddy get the essential supplies and fuel a complete lock down is coming in Thailand any minute for indefinite time atleast for 28 days.
Would not be surprised at all, I am pretty well stocked and good to go.
We in NZ are in a 30 day lockdown only supermarket, doctor, pharmacy and fuel (gas) open and cases are still going up :-(
On a side note Google translate works well enough to translate some of the Thai script back to English using the phones camera.
When you said "there is something at the bank I have to take care of ", then put the mask on , I thought great a bank job live on TH-cam , any way , not to be ?
LOL, now that you mention it, that does look very suspect 🤣😂🤣😂
Lol I was wondering how a relatively young vlogger got by for income ..now I know the answer
@@JomtienCyclist lol.
@@Rides4Kickz lol.
That’s the new joke ....2 guys with with masks walk into a bank, everyone gasps.....then say “ it’s OK everyone, they’re only here for a robbery”
Here in Jomtien there’s still people out at the beach area especially around sunset, even swimming in the sea, as most of the swimming pools have been closed for now.
The ocean is one of the safest places to be
The president of the USA didn't take the steps early enough that Thailand is taking now and they have over 100,000 cases and rapidly climbing. It's better to put up with it in the short term than to have a nightmare on Thailand's hands.
But wil the tourists come back after the world wide lockdown is over? Millions in North America and Europe are bancrupt, and when peopel must cut down on costs, travel will be the first to go. And the tourist industry is the most important industry in Thailand, if this stop travel I do not dare to think about how hard it will hit Thailands people, one can only hope the best.
Cheers.
Nordmann61 Chinese tourist will certainly comes back to Thailand.
Kind of reassuring to see that the majority are listening to the advice that's being given out and staying away.
when all establishments will open again i hope early as possible for people to earn money for their living krub
WTI(West Texas Intermidiate) futures are in minus, last time I checked it was -30USD. This has never happened before. They will pay for getting rid of the oil. North Sea Oil: around 22USD. So oil is cheaper than drinking water.
R4K , SO. CAL USA is similar ... We are all in this together my friend !!!... Enjoy stay safe ...
Oil prices are down worldwide, you know that right ? Can you advise the name of the area with those apartment blocks you showed, seems nice and tranquil and near the beach.
This video just came up in my feed, I live like 2 mins from that gas station. Cool Channel, have subbed
No one ever takes the deflation in to account when talking about the new inflation.
I see Vee trailing you, maybe it's one of the first times she showed up?
Social Distance is highly recommended and very Important
Anti social distance more like ..lol.
Walking and complain hahhaah ...go back your room .
I did the same thing with gas. Hospitals are busy with the virus now, in about 9 1/2 months it's gonna be babies.....555.
Good to see Thailand is trying to contain the virus, I just learned a former classmate died from it, I've talked to my GF in Trat and it's not as confined yet... you take care and glad for the update.
👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍 From Argentina 🙋🙋🙋🙋
Interesting fact filled video. Can I ask you what you use for your voice overs it sounds so professional
I have a Turtle Beach USB microphone plugged directly into my PC. I think it was about $30 US
@@Rides4Kickz ok thank you
I don't like big crowds but It occurs to me beautiful places aren't so beautiful without the beautiful people to share them with .
I'm an Englishman living in Spain and marrying a Thai girl so keep my nose to the ground on all three counties, and I must say Thailand has jumped in really quickly with control, the figures are pretty low for a tourist orientated country especially as they get a lot of Chinese. This at the moment leans towards an early recovery, let's hope so.
I had a crazy experience. I have some nice Thai friends and a Thai Girlfriend. I had enough to drink. Soi new Plaza was dark and close. I saw a lady I know. Was so sad. Not first for me, I felt so sorry for the people here try to earn some money. Off course the place was depression. Same Soi Buakhao. Dark and closed. I had some great fun, sounds crazy. Had big fun with some Russian's at the Saswadee Siam. Crazy fun. Some bars were half open, there was an evening where they closed those big metal closures. And I want to get out, my girlfriend was already out. Laughing. Police gets us out in an other bar. So i had a great big fun. Now I thinking back, seeing Soi 7 in Jomtien closed, I feel not so good. The lady in new Plaza, pfffff. Bizarre, without my Thai friends... I was lucky I could fly back, 10 hours later then planned. I not realized at the time, but now. My eyes are wet. For all those nice Thai people. Trying to make a baht. And also, this was fucking crazy. If you drinking a lot, hm, go little past you. Or grape you. Now I see the darkness more, strange. By the way , same my country.
charged me £586 to get back to England, while this virus is spreading, until next year. now England have closed airports from Asia
yes Gas is even cheaper in California now The King Of Gas Prices , Regular is 2.61 & Premium 2.81 where I am in California , few people are out and cars are few also . Some Airlines report 85% drop in passengers .
Yeah, some gas/oil is actually being given away. But not at the pump. I bought an oil tanker stock I can't remember how many days ago. Because they need some place to store oil they're producing, and we aren't consuming.
funny about the gas. today 31 March in Illinois gas was down from almost $3 down to about $1.24 us We're on lock-down her as well but can go out for grocery and fuel
Stay safe man. I think alot of this is over hyped but who knows what panic and disruptions it could bring worldwide. China is having riots again but now in Wuhan.
And if the west is smart we'll all restart manufacturing in our home countries and give China the flick!
It is over hyped but most governments have taken that approach it would appear,they are just trying a few measures to see what works best,getting rid of crowds seems to be one measure that works,elimating travel seems to help.Put 2020 on hold at this point,fingers crossed we will all do ok and get through.Governments are doing their best to protect us,we just need to be patient and do our bit to help,its a pain in the ass but necessary.
@@lizzy9975 Made in the West? Can you tolerate pollution and low wages from manufacturing? Can you tolerate products that are several times expensive than the current market?
Now don't be an ass! Products we buy is not sold by the chinese! They are sold by western firms reselling china products at a hefty mark up in price. An apple mobil sells for 3 times the production price as of today. So the production price has little to do with actual price....commercials have! Nike shoes also made in china since when have anyone been able to make 1000$ shoes in plastic?
@@Nillersoon40 true.
The question I have is how in the world can you handle being in a place in the world that is always hot? .I've been to Hawaii for 10 days and even when it rained it was a warm. The feeling I got was monotony. I live in northern California. I love cool weather. Nothing ever changes in the tropics. Same old, same old.Good video From Sacramento
What do you do for medical insurance? What happens if you catch a severe case of Covid 19?
By closing the bars and retail centers in the cities the government may have facilitated the spread of CV to the rural areas. I've already heard of girls traveling back to rural areas in Isaan who fell ill shortly after arriving. It's good to see most people wearing masks but I hear they are in very short supply in rural villages. I love Thailand and wish everyone the best.
We like to see video update of what's happening around beach. Seems very less people now
hello...really like your new condo setup.... do you have a parking garage or is a parking lot.
I don't live in any city but a Village far away from the city center and people don't bump into each other, no problem living where I do.
They’re open for business and they’ve got fans and different electronics but they won’t sell those. Makes no sense.
Been enjoying your videos. How difficult is it to navigate Thailand in regards to language?
Chomtien must be a ghost town now. All those chicken trucks waiting in line to take the share a ride passengers at watmongkhun. It's good time to get lotdai suoy pu ying back to condo.
I want to get a bike when I'm out in pattaya looks like a lot of fun riding everywhere like you do
Like your kickback delivery, very chill. The Joe Friday of Thai vlogs: facts, just the facts
I wish the Thai people would get informed and take it seriously!!! I live in Thailand and 90% of people have no idea how to self isolate, wash their hands with soap or use a face mask appropriately. It's sad to see the primitiveness in the villages and cities up north. You can see every violation of the expected protocol up here.
Maybe the villages but Ive been in Sisaket and Ubon cities in the last week and all bars/restaurants are shut, streets are empty and nearly everyone is wearing a mask
That primitiveness sounds like what's happening in many western countries. Lol
@@cHemon Yes ferals fighting over toilet paper .
Welcome to thailand
Thanks for the update in your part of the world. I understand that the lottery is on hold until the 1st May draw at the moment.
same here. non essential stuff only in most states. glad my wine cellar is stocked.
How long did it take to get used to driving on the left side of the road? do you every mess up?
Can you and CB Media please get together and do a video together?
Russia driving* the price down. Same in the states
I Love how the Thai people respect the outdoor excersise equipment. That would be vandalised in a lot of other countries. Best of wishes to the people of Thailand & hope to get back there sooner rather than later
lambo belongs to guy who owns bars on soi 6 liquid group
Australia, well where I live Australia which is a regional area is kind of the same. Everyone is pretty contentious about the whole thing and thankfully we have very few cases and no deaths, Australia as a whole is doing pretty well too. I think we have 9 deaths in Australia with about 3,000 odd cases with most of them having come from people coming back from abroad or on cruise ships. I am with you in hoping this blows over sooner rather than later Oh! and I can't help but notice that your Thai GF doesn't like being on cam, each to their own. lol take care.
The virus doesn't like warm temperatures
Did you not know about the saudi russia oil wars
Just took a five mile walk around Marina Del Rey CA> ( beaches are also closed now ) but were hoping for them to open mid April unless there is some type of treatment for this Virus..one can hope.. it now looks like Thailand is following other countries in shutting down to deal with this outbreak.. in the long run this will be a small blip in our memory.. lets all stay safe.. L.A Rob
Well said 👍
Pretty much getting the same in the states now
Great blog as usual. The temp checks & hand sanitizer at the entrance to shopping centres should be practiced universally..not much of that here in Australia to my dismay. It is reassuring in Thailand. Stay well
Australia has left it too late. Expect 5,000 deaths probably.
That's shocking Marcus...Even the smaller supermarkets are doing checks here in Udon Thani
So true just got back from Thailand. Very impressed with all the temp checks and hand sanitizer in central festivals, super markets. Even some restaurant just started doing it Wednesday. Back here in UK nothing.
what the name of the city
that you live in?
Nice video thanks 👍
Alcohol sales banned now???
sir, what camera are you using?
GoPro Hero7 Black
@@Rides4Kickz really..looks liek a dslr from the shadows
Thought you will enjoy this one
His Eyes are freaking me out 😱
Huge drop in gas price there.
WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
That's crazy! What's the reasoning behind them not selling electronic and other non food items?
To discourage people from leaving the house and strolling around unnecessarily. However, online purchase and delivery service is still operational.
Government directive. Supermarkets can only open to sell food stuffs.
Gone from the scooter to a real bike?? Looks like a fun ride, not too heavy for local traffic
I’d stay inside too if I were you. Stay safe
Hide away you weak minded fool
🏆🇹🇭🙏
Costco in Okotoks, south of Calgary, was 57.9 cents/L this week, or about 13 baht. Funny, I thought that would mean US prices would be down to under $1 a gallon, because us Canadians have much higher taxes, but no. Many spots still $2.30+.....very rare to see Canadian prices in any province, lower than Americans
Yes, true. If I remember correctly though, Alberta was always a bit cheaper on gas than Ontario or Vancouver.
Ok.... Costco in Australia was charging AUD$1.19/l for premium unleaded last week.
I booked my holiday in Thailand in September. The coronavirus has put that in doubt. Dam
Nah, you'll be fine.
Thailand has moved songkran festivities to July. So i reckon most will be back to 'Normal' by that time. Whatever normal means. I'm screwed though, had a trip for late May.

Thank you share about thailand saftey your self 😷😷😷😷
Dude never touch your face or remove your face mask 08:49 without washing your hands first. Got to be extra vigilant everywhere now.
Gas got cheaper because of lower demand and the Saudi/Russian conflict. Hey at least you don't have to deal with the Donald periodically.
Why no face mask?
Face mask is adviced only when in close contact with others.
This past Monday I drove from Bangkok to Bang Saen for a beach day. Since I was there, I wanted to try that Chariot seafood restaurant that you recommended in a previous video, but all those restaurants along there were shut down. Luckily I was still able to rent a table under the umbrellas on the beach and enjoy my somtam, grilled chicken, sticky rice, and Leos.
They are only open in the evening there. Perfect time for a visit, the beach is virtually empty so very easy to do the distancing thing 👍
@@Rides4Kickz It was a perfect beach day, but virtually empty. I missed the people watching aspect of it. By the way, thanks a bunch for your videos. Very entertaining, and I think a lot of people appreciate watching, especially during these times. Cheers.
like your vlogs but many snowflakes when I made fair comment before in your last vid
Do you have to wear a mask or you did it voluntarily?
Opposite of attitude from western country.
If you don't wear a mask in public , you will get criticize , because if you infected , you can spread virus to others.
Everyone should wear a mask when they go outside to public place.
Even inside their home , Thai gov suggest that should wear a mask and stay away from each other at least 2 meters. If someone infected , it will not spread in family.
@@sundayevening161 thanks for the update. It's crazy. Germ theory and pandemic theory are not 100% proved as fact. Not that I don't think good hygiene is important. Take care pal.
@@boomme3598 Better than Nothing.
In Czech republic, they turn this mask attitude for only sick to everyone should wear mask winthin 3 days from youtube video viral.
It working , they have less infected.
@@sundayevening161 I don't watch main stream media, but from my own experience there is noone sick or dying from Corona.

Great job showing the situation at the moment. I am in Chiangmai now and it is the same except we experience extreme air pollution .
Price of a barrel of oil has plummeted to $21......Russian and Saudi willing to let it fall to put a lot of American shale drillers out of business. Enjoy the fallout ;)
Trump won't let that happen. He'll subsidise to keep them in business!
It's pretty obvious from the fallout from Wuhan Flu that having your manufacturing capability in house, in your own country is the preferred option!
Do a video on what your girlfriend thinks about what’s going on 😊👍🙏
👍🙏
Oil price drop is partly no demand, more so Saudi and other producers all met (OPEC) to discuss cutting production to keep prices high, normally they would and continue ripping us all off, however Russia said nah we'll keep producing the same amount so Saudi's reacted by saying FU basically and cutting the price by 30USD a barrel overnight and ramping up production.
Enjoying your vids was that your partner in back ground lol hope so if and when I can get over I'll buy you a beer
NOT being a know it all.. but MAYBE during this time where people can't work, it's cheaper / subsidized by the government to help the average person.. like the US money the US gov is sending people in April to help with expenses?
Thanks for the videos.. Curt in San Diego, hoping to be in Thailand in a few months, once they allow Americans.. but we may not be welcomed for a long time?
You are being generous. It's more populated than that even on weekdays.
I like your very relaxed voice!
STAY SAFE, TAKE CARE AND KEEP GOING
You just stand under that tree and hide out the way! ahaha
Thank you so much for keeping us informed. Like a Phoenix, Thailand will rise from the ashes...be safe!
Fascinating shadow you have there 👩🏻. I like your videos very much.. from Seattle
Price of oil. Check the news. There are two countries who produce a lot of oil who are in disagreement.
My first experience in the Philippines I couldn't believe how many doughnut places there were....I wonder who left that mark behind 😅😆😅..takecare in these times, hopefully back June
Thank you for sharing, here in Belgium Europe it has been like this, most people have work from home for 2 weeks in principle until April 19, probably the government will extend until mid May. Stay safe.
Oil price has fallen from $60 a barrel to $22 west Texas crude.
Russia and Suad Arabia fell out a few weeks back..
And Suadi Arabia said they would increase production
Thailand is saving $billions on it import bill.
Second point the Dollar $ has gone up from 30 bht to 32 but..
And demand for oil this month is the lowest on record..as 800 million cars are sat in the drive way at home..
👍👍👍
notice - if you had cleaning supplies ? toilet paper ? paper towels ? - lots of places - you can't find those items . JDS/CT + gas prices here are @ a dollar lower than months ago . good report, thanks.
Yeah mate, Saudi Arabia and Russia are in a fight over oil production for a while now....
russia pissed off opec so the saudis dropped the price of oil in early march, the gas prices in Hawaii finally dropped last week. the lack of travel worldwide may cause the prices to go even lower. I hope you will be able to continue making videos, the other Pattaya youtubers that I follow haven't been active
32.5 ThB = $1 USD. Good times may be ahead with the ThB rising/ falling against the USD (Chaiyaphum had their first 2 cases, both returning home from their jobs in Bangkok) I think Thailand has done an amazing job thus far. Hoping all that precaution has a good impact on the final tally. That ThB rise is a pretty steep tall spike so far. (Cheers!)
Thanks for your videos they are always informative and entertaining . At present there is a trade war on oil between Saudi Arabia and Russia resulting very low oil prices. Here in Australia the price of petrol (gas) is very low.Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I live in Phayao…...all here is the same as in your video....take care
