No more tourists who come and visit Thailand. The sale is less and as well as the money circulates in the country because most people have less spending. In 2021 at the 3rd quarter of the year, the number of people who infected covid-19 had reached the peak point which caused the economy to slow down. However, the situation of the pandemic seems to get better and tourists tend to visit Thailand more than the last 2 years. Local shops, markets, shopping malls and airports reopen again.
