The Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, Bird Flu in 2005, SARS, political disturbances, sinking of passenger boats and other such incidents didn’t have anywhere near the impact of 2020’s Covid-19 pandemic in Thailand. Visitor numbers, even from the usually enthusiastic Tourism Authority of Thailand, are hoped to fall suddenly straight down up to 80% for the year. The other 20% visited the Kingdom in the first quarter on 2020 before the ‘disruption’ started. In 2019, about 40 million tourists had visited Thailand.
