10 New Normal Trends for a Safe Trip during COVID-19
Many people are planning their next trip now that the COVID-19 situation is getting better. Here are some easy tips to start your new normal trip with:
1. Bring masks, face shields and alcohol gel with you, and prepare some zip lock bags to keep the usedups.
2. For convenience, bring your own vehicle. For those taking public transports, make sure to always wear a mask and follow the “social distancing” protocol.
3. Check in and out via the “Thai Chana” QR code to protect and reduce the risks of getting infected. If you have to sign by hand, use your own pen.
4. When booking a property, consider preventive measures before cheap promotions.
5. Take a shower as soon as you get to your hotel room.
6. Deploy cashless payment such as QR code, PromptPay, or eWallet. Don’t keep your money in the same place where you keep a handkerchief.
7. If you are eating at a restaurant, eat fresh cooked food, use your own serving spoon, wash your hand, and practice social distancing. For street food, pick the stall where the owner wears gloves.
8. If you are warned by an officer and a staff member, don’t get upset and act accordingly.
9. Subscribe to the COVID-19 Information Center to keep yourself updated with news and current situation.
10. “Don’t let your guard down”. Travelling may bring about the 2nd pandemic wave of COVID-19. As long as there’s no vaccine to prevent this, we can’t let our guard down even though the number of the infected seems to be low at the moment.
