Get ready, adapt, and change to a new way of life (New Normal).
Think about some things we do in our daily lives that are normal. For example, eating three meals a day, showering twice a day, wearing a swimsuit to the beach – all of these are "normal" things that we are familiar with and used to.
Nowadays, some things that weren't commonplace before become the new normal after certain events or phenomena occur. A clear example during the Covid-19 era is wearing a face mask when leaving the house. Before, we would only wear a mask when we were sick, but now it's normal to wear one when leaving the house. Similarly, carrying hand sanitizer to wash your hands at all times is also a common practice.
What will become the “new normal” way of life?
-
Internet usage will play an increasingly significant role in daily life, whether it's for online learning, working from home, online meetings, ordering consumer goods, conducting financial transactions, or watching dramas and movies online—a trend that is becoming more evident now.

Social distancing will also become the new normal for society. People will reduce interaction, such as going to public places less, focusing more on activities at home, reducing domestic and international travel, or maintaining distance while waiting in line or using public transportation, including shopping, etc.

The trend of prioritizing health is increasing. This includes wearing face masks every time you leave the house, which has become commonplace, washing hands more frequently, carrying hand sanitizer, eating hot food, using your own utensils, and monitoring your own health when you feel unwell.

Consumer spending and investment decisions will be more cautious due to economic uncertainty, leading to a reduction in spending on luxury goods. There is also a growing trend towards cashless payments.
- The next important issue is cleanliness and reducing the accumulation of germs. Currently, many businesses have resumed operations. Concerns naturally arise for both service providers and customers, and even the government is worried about a potential increase in infections after each phase of easing restrictions. Therefore, the government launched "Thai Chana" to collect data on access to community spaces, allowing users to check in and check out. This helps track each individual's travel to various locations and provides timely alerts about the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks.
Similarly, businesses can build customer confidence by having screening points, temperature checks, and hand sanitizer available. Many places have also prepared disinfectant mats ( Kleen-Sanitize) or disinfectant footbaths ( Kleen-Sanitize Footbath) for cleaning shoes before entering shops or buildings. This is essential, especially for schools, hotels, airports, and hospitals. "Prevention is better than cure." We don't want a second wave of COVID-19. Currently, we cannot avoid adapting and changing our way of life in this same world for the sake of safety and good health.
