But maybe the Thaiger should do a follow up article to 

https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/tourism/survey-finds-nearly-half-of-thai-hotels-can-stay-afloat-for-less-than-3-months

which was posted/printed on 4th May. By my count (fingers and toes using binary method) 50% of Thai hotels now sunk. As with no place to stay, people won’t travel, get sore in car, plane, trains and automobiles and require a massage or two to feel great again.
