Is Hanuman on par with Buddha? Clearly not. But there's enough national symbolism whereby putting a ridiculous mask on him is disrespectful and a disgrace IMHO. No doubt the same idiotic thinking would put one on Buddha if they could get away with it.
Similar to the dolts at the New York, New York hotel/casino in Las Vegas, putting one on the Statue of Liberty, essentially stifling -- if not suffocating -- the symbol of freedom and free speech.
Brainlessness is worldwide.

Every Thai and I mean every Thai where I live still respectfully wear masks...
whether it's in shops, walking down the street, in local markets or exercising at the parks.
they as I do choose to continue the use.
So are you inferring a Thai not wearing a mask would be disrespectful? But in any case, you would not be offended, correct?

Oh, no doubt about it, I'd be hanging with the Asians... and feeling fine! ????

So you've done a survey have you? Most of the Thais I know seem to like me, and a lot are comfortable in not wearing a mask around me because they know I won't ridicule and shame them like their own people do. Ironic, isn't it?
And if a Thai doesn't like me, well guess I can't please everyone. The mask issue is only an excuse for some deeper seated issue, anyway. Chok dee, I'd say to them!
Peace

Or... When in Thailand, do as the Royal Gazette says: Masks are voluntary.
Freedom of choice: Rome? or the RG?

No, your freedom to get infected -- from ANYTHING out there on a day to day basis. And your freedom to take your own individual responsibility to protect yourself any way you want -- without infringing upon the rights and freedom of others and without mandating others live their lives according to your (selfish) standards.
Wear a hazmat suit with 10 masks, get 20 boosters, take 30 showers a day with disinfectant soap, don't go out in public... use your freedom of choice to protect yourself.
You sound like he's intentional trying to infect you. STOP blaming others for your lack of ability to take of yourself and STOP expecting others (including, and especially, the gov't) do it for you!
Peace

This piece of &@$? article just said the baht should get stronger when more tourists come at the end of the year!! <deleted>!
Actually it said there'd be a "rebound" -- not the same as a stronger baht. What they're saying -- and I agree -- is the baht will have a technical bounce in the near-term (because of the obvious 2009/2015 lows) and it will be convenient to attribute it to tourism because of the timing. The "rebound" will be short-lived, however, as downward pressure kicks back in. This is their bigger concern.
The article is primarily looking at the long-term outlook and the 15-year support area being breached. Although the headline is a bit misguided -- the baht isn't at that level just yet, though quickly approaching it -- the concern is not.
IMHO, odds favor it WILL bust, then it's look out below!... 3-5yrs of weak baht and shi**y economy. Smaller odds the bounce will catch fire and things turn around. We'll find out soon enough.

The logical and common sense thing would be to let people wear or don't wear, up to the individual.
BUT.... since they went the extreme one way -- to wear (by law/suggestion/et al) the facial diaper -- I fantasize they go the OTHER extreme and create a "law" and penalize anyone who DOES wear the thing -- only for a year or two -- just to normalize people's lives; then let the pendulum swing back to the middle.
Until I see the smiles of the Thais, there is no LOS.
Pure and simple.

"The move is part of the gradual easing of restrictions in an attempt to revive the country’s vital tourism sector, although the CCSA also decided to extend the enforcement of the emergency situation announcement for the 17th time, from April 1st until May 31st."
Are there any bigger oxymorons? They want to portray the tourism sector as sooooo vital (and it absolutely is), yet they just cannot tear themselves away from this "gradual easing of restrictions" complex they seem to have and are perfectly content to drag out this Comedy Show of Errors well into its third year... 17, 18... do I hear 19th time?
Every good Buddhist knows: attachments only cause suffering.
Thai Banks To Face Rigorous Compliance Regulations Starting June
in Thailand News
Posted
Because the article is smoke and mirrors. While you're distracted with "fraudulent activity," "mule accounts," and "compliance," it's simply a ruse -- an excuse -- to push for digital everything.
99% of the article beyond the first paragraph is blatantly telling you the purpose. The most obvious statement being, "The digital banking market in Thailand is projected to grow by 8.69% between 2024 and 2028..."
As for compliance (the end goal), you're never going to know what the banks' compliance laws are. You just need to be a good account holder and be "compliant" with the bank.... blah blah blah. And good luck figuring out what even that is.
