It could be a throwaway comment and will come to nothing but would be interesting to see how this pans out because before when tourists had to wear masks here, everywhere else was(although Thailand did carry it on a lot longer than most countries) as well, so wasn't such a big deal. but now that, in general every country has ditched them. They might find tourists won't be so keen to wear them. Especially as a lot more people are probably skeptical they even do anything than when covid first broke out and people believed the masks did do something.
