Thought The Auto Show Was DEAD? Guess No One Got The Memo In Asia. A Glimpse At The FUTURE Of Car Events?

Major car shows across the globe — in New York, Geneva, Detroit, Paris, and elsewhere — have been called off amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But in Thailand, where the outbreak is mostly under control, the show must go on.

Initially scheduled for March and delayed twice, the 41st Bangkok International Motor Show opened to visitors on Wednesday. The show's organizers have taken a whole host of precautions to make sure everything runs smoothly, and the expo may provide a peek at what big events will look like as the threat of infection looms large.

I love auto shows but I'd pass if this is the only way. Cars, show room visits and shows are an escape for me and this just reminds me of my daily routine to stay safe and avoid others. Much prefer a mask less drive alone or with loved ones down some great back country B roads to get away from it all.
