    Thai Authorities Urge People not to Hoard Consumer Products during Lockdown

    BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand’s Department of Internal Trade (DIT) is urging people not to hoard consumer products during lockdown, while assuring that there will be enough supplies for everyone.


    DIT Director-General Watthanasak Sua-Iam said the department has asked all department stores, wholesalers and retailers nationwide to increase their stocks of consumer products, to ensure there will be no shortage during the lockdown.


    He said the DIT has also urged egg farmer associations in affected provinces to fix farm prices and supply eggs regularly to all markets in the area during the lockdown, and all associations have insisted that there will be a sufficient supply of eggs for consumption.


    The director-general also warned that hoarding of goods will be a violation of the Price of Goods and Services Act and punishable with a maximum seven years in prison, or a THB140,000 fine, or both. People can contact the department’s hotline at 1569, if they witness product hoarding or unfair pricing.

    If the government is worried about people hording then there will prolly be a shortage of some food.
    I'd better go stock up tomorrow.

    Would be hard for working class Thai's to hoard given their limited availability of disposable cash.

    4 bags of rice delivered yesterday. When I asked SWMBO her answer was "Covid". No best before markings.

    I blame cheap phones myself.

    It may seem like hording but it isn't. The last half and half scheme saw the wife buy 8 x 15kg bags of Khaw Neiyw (Glutinous rice) which seems a bit over the top but was necessary as the stupid older brother who came back to the village last year some how screwed up growing the needed rice on M-in-L's 3 rai block next to the wifes orchard. What was needed was just not there hence the 6 families had to buy in. If we don't get enough rain this years crop won't be worth zip either.

    As long as they've still got a supply of those Mama Tom Yam instant noodles, I doubt there will be riots. In spite of the fact they live under a corrupt, inept military dictatorship that stole political power and murdered it's own citizens en masse'.

    Maggi chicken flavour 2 minute noodles, 9b a pack.

    They go damn good, especially with some diced bacon, shallots, tomato and grated cheese.

    It's more about Thais not being a bunch of lard arsed overfed wimps, lost without their 'essential' products like Aunt Bess's pre-peeled potatoes.

    Last time I was in Thailand I couldn't believe how obesity had been embraced by the Thais.

    Just shows how out of touch some are on here about the current state of play in Thailand

    No sliced bread in the 7/11 around me, I thought it was due to hoarding but no the factory of Farmhouse bread had been closed temporarily as there have been covid cases among the factory workers.
