Car sales are near zero right now. They think the economy will recover overnight. Alot of silly dreamers out there, who are completely detached from reality. 

Manufacturing might do OK, but domestic car and truck sales will drop dramatically here, and remain sluggish for a few years to come. The economy is utterly decimated. Thanks Prayuth. Nice work.

How can thailand be any different.

Forget personal transport unless it is EV .  Mandatory in less than 9 years anyway.

Personal cars and daily driving should be phased out for most.  Plenty of delivery services now. The future is Electric rail, simple EV scooter rentals, simple EV car rentals, vans or tour buses for longer trips is all that is needed.  The addiction to personal transport that pollutes the air needs to stop now. 

Climate change isn't going away people.  Look to the future
