Thai taxis and tuk-tuks come to a standstill SHARE
Tuk-tuks and garishly coloured taxis that once weaved through chaotic Bangkok traffic are sitting idle in storage as a fresh coronavirus surge scuttles hopes of relief for Thailand s tourism-dependent economy.
The kingdom is currently undergoing its worst-ever stretch of the pandemic after largely keeping Covid contained when the illness first emerged last year. Bangkok is subject to a night-time curfew and a ban on gatherings as authorities advise residents of the capital to stay home. Tourists, people going to work, shopping, hanging out with friends these are our customers but they ve all vanished, said taxi driver Anuchit Surasit. The 47-year-old had just dropped off his vehicle at a garage in western Bangkok, parking it among hundreds of other cabs on forced sabbatical. While he loves being a cabbie, Anuchit said he has watched his income drop to just 300 baht ($9) a day.
