Bangkok auto show funderway after coronavirus delays

Auto shows across the globe have been forced to cancel or delay due to COVID-19.

After a long delay, Thailand opened its twice-postponed Bangkok international motor show to the public as coronavirus restrictions eased, with nearly all attendees wearing masks and face shields.

25 car brands -- including Toyota, Audi, Lexus, Nissan, BMW, Mazda, Ford, Suzuki, Hyundai -- and 22 motorcycle manufacturers were on show.
