Ko Lanta economy collapses six days a week, recovers on Mondays

KO LANTA, Thailand (AP) - Household savings on Ko Lanta fell for the sixth day running on Sunday, then rebounded sharply on Monday, repeating a pattern economists say they have watched since 2023 without being able to explain.

The swings track the opening hours of a single delicatessen on the main road at Long Beach. When it is open, 10:00 to 19:00, residents spend. On Mondays, when it is closed, bank balances stabilise and several people report remembering why they came to the island.
