Physically closed, virtually opened
Bangkok Metropolitan Administration raised the preventive measures to curb the deadly novel coronavirus by forcing shopping malls and retailers across Bangkok to close. But that does not mean your shopping routine must come to a halt. Major shopping malls are now turning to online channels to provide loyal customers with their necessities. (That means you don’t have to tolerate dry skin when you run out of your favorite moisturizer or tolerate torn running shoes when they accidentally are torn apart during the shut down).
Here are some ways you can pursue your shopping without ever leaving your place.
