It is probably no surprise that organisers teelakow yesterday had to inform us that their event The Monkeys Trail cannot be held next month yet. Established on the holiday island of Koh Samui in Thailand, the event was supposed to take place on 16/17 May but has now been postponed to a date-to-be-decided in Q4. As nearly every country, the Thai government has also imposed strict measures for its citizens and for anyone trying to get in the country.
The relaunch of the 2020 Asia Trail Master season is therefore now set back to early June and the Puncak Tanawan event on Negros Oriental in the Philippines. Let us hope that - indeed - the corona situation will be solved to the extent that mass events and travel can resume as normal.
