  1. After a few trips, I would say that my experience with Grab taxis in Thailand has been positive so far

    No risk of miscommunication on the destination nor worry about hidden charges

    Plus using a new sim card with every trip, I was about to register new Grab accounts.

    The rebates given to new accounts for Grab rides pay off a significant portion of the cost of the sim card

    There might not be problems getting into Thailand but if this gets rapidly out of hand then leaving might become an issue especially if they close all the ports down. Let's be honest, anything is possible.

    I doubt Thailand would clamp down on people leaving the way China did to Wuhan

    Main thing to look out for would be whether your home country requires you to self-quarantine upon return
