Local Guides program means “PRICELESS” to me (especially during COVID-19 situation)

In the normal situation, the Local Guides program is the program that connect all Local Guides around the world into 1 community even we are totally different in culture. I cannot imagine if there is no Local Guides program, what else will connect all of us over the world together. I believe we all quite have the same purpose for joining Local Guides program, sharing to our community.

I love sharing about food in my country – Thai foods, taking photos, doing reviews in Google maps and always comment about the food post in our community – Local Guides Connect.

At present, we are in the COVID-19 situation all over the world, we are in the same situation and still in 1 community. We might not be able to go out to the place we love to in our daily life because it is legally locked down in some cities and in some countries.

In Bangkok, we are now under Government Emergency decree until April 2020. They request us to stay home, not to be COVID-19 carrier. It is good idea that we have discipline to ourselves and be responsible to others in our city. All shopping malls closed. The fresh market and supermarket still open but the restaurant, café, coffee shop provide only delivery services. This time “Local Guides program” = priceless to me. Priceless means I cannot value for money.

During staying home, I survive by food delivery providers. Before I decide to order, I browse the restaurants nearby my home, read all reviews, see food photo and go back to search the restaurant name from food delivery providers. I do searching every time that I have to order food/drink/dessert. This makes me survival for weeks now. Please do not ask me how many kilos I gain from day 1 until now, hehe. If there are no Google maps and Local Guides program, I will not know how many restaurants/shops nearby my home and the food photos help me to make easily decision to order the food.
I am really appreciated and enjoy browsing.

Please do not ask how much I miss the time when I go out for food in the restaurant. When the food comes, camera eats first. I take many photos and do review as part of Local Guides Program. I am telling myself the situation will get better soon and we all can go back to do whatever we like.

Here is my survival list, delivery only - https://goo.gl/maps/UiAtgjJvTwShQLis7

Thank you Local Guides program, thank you all Local Guides who did the reviews!

I recommend you all to do some exercise to keep your health strong even you cannot go out. For myself, the park still open so I go for jogging sometimes and go back home.

Please do not forget to bring “mask” and “alcohol gel” when you have to go out to public area.
