That's sealed it for me then. I'll get the dust covers off the Learjet and slip down to Phuket for a Leo. Then again.

Yes Alex, the local demographic suggests CM should remain relatively free of covid UNLESS we have another influx of holiday makers from BKK like at Songkran.  That brief spike in infection has now withered to nothing worse than flu.

Chiang Mai people do do not live, work nor socialise in a manner which encourages the spread of disease.  Apart from prisoners, there are very few concentrations of worker (slum) housing or factories with close quarter contact.

So long as A NUT IN the ministry keeps BKK closed up we should be ok up north :)
