Remote work move weighs on transport, media stocksBangkok traffic has eased recently, partly due to higher oil prices and the government's recently announced temporary work-from-home policy. Thailand's temporary work-from-home (WFH) policy for government agencies, introduced as part of emergency energy-saving measures, creates short-term pressure on transport and out-of-home media stocks, according to analysts. This shift would likely reduce commuting via private vehicles and public transport. With Bangkok's combined population and daily tourist flows exceeding 12 million people, the current WFH policy is unlikely to significantly disrupt overall travel demand, Mr Paradorn said. Despite this, travel demand remains a fundamental necessity in daily life and is unlikely to face technological disruption, supporting BEM's long-term outlook, he pointed out.
