Restaurants have been hit hard by the pandemic, which has slashed tourist arrivals as well as stopped locals going out to dinner: International visitor arrivals plunged by 91.15% in the first 20 days of March, compared with the same period a year earlier, according to the Association of Thai Travel Agents.
