Thailand’s tourism struggling amid COVID-19 pandemic
BANGKOK, June 29 (Xinhua) — Hotels are shuttered in the dark, bars are closed and empty food carts are seen around Bangkok’s once-bustling tourism associated street. Silence shrouds the city’s party land despite the easing COVID-19 lockdown measures.
