He and other tour van operators desperately need assistance. Mr Punnawit said tour van operators have been left with a heavy financial burden, not the least being the monthly instalments on their vans. He called on the government and agencies to ask financial institutions to suspend debt payments for 3-6 months for tour van operators. During the first round of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government had suspended debt repayments for van operators for three months, he added.
