If someone comes to Thailand for tourism recently, they will probably find an interesting phenomenon-as a tourist country, there are not a few taxis on the streets of Thailand.
is very different from the way taxis once filled the streets.

Energy saving and emission reduction?
Actually, in the final analysis, it's because of the epidemic...
Thailand is a country that has been severely affected by the epidemic, span _span 1 span _span 5 span 1 million casesThe death toll exceeded 16,000... and was even forced to close the entry channel at one time.
The trouble is that Thailand is a tourist country.
Closing the entry channel means that there are no tourists, which means that many industries will be affected. The first one is the transportation industry.
After the outbreak, Thailand lost more than half of the job opportunities for foreign tourists.
In addition, Thais are forced to stay at home, and the other half of the job opportunities are gone...
no more passengers, the driver will not earn money.
So even if the taxi company cuts the driver's rental fee (that is, the taxi fee) in half, only 300 baht (approximately 57 yuan) is left, but there are still many drivers who cannot afford to drive a taxi.
In addition, some drivers gave up driving taxis because of fear of the epidemic.
The boss of a local taxi company said,
When the epidemic first came to Thailand in 2020, some drivers gave up taxis and ran back to their hometowns because of fear;

Arrange the cars neatly together, which is equivalent to contracting a piece of land in the city _sp5p img _sp3span0 _sp3sp0 The boss said that these cars have been parked here for a year. Instead of turning them into a pile of scrap iron, it is better to grow tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans... The boss explained that they had borrowed a total of 2 billion baht to buy a taxi, but now they have almost lost all their income and the government has not provided any direct financial support. So I had to find a way to bring employees’ family members to grow vegetables to subsidize the family.
On the other hand, the owner of this particular vegetable garden also hopes to draw attention to the hard-hit taxi industry that has been hit by the new crown.
The boss said,Thailand has experienced many years of turbulence, and even experienced a catastrophic flood in 2011 (2 million people were affected and economic losses reached 100 billion baht).
However, at that time, life was better than it is now. More...
