Wow, you managed to mention the only other 3 countries (out of 200) where masks are still being worn

Beside the corona-mania from the last 3 years, very good. I pay no taxes legally due to territorial taxation system. I enjoy good weather. My wife and daughter enjoys freedom and safety. No neighbors that complain about everything. Thanks for asking ????

When this happened? I was travelling with bus during the peak of the mania in 2021 and no one told me to wear one inside the bus. I need to mention that I have a "Do-not-<deleted>-me-up"-aura and a Thai wife with a little mixed daughter, maybe this helped. But yeah, the Thais are completely mad with this mask-mania and we are all the time thinking of leaving to another country, even if we enjoy many other benefits here, no taxes, weather and security. It is literally mainly just the mask-wearing and the social reasons behind that (blind conformity, non-confrontative being, kreng jai) why we wanna leave this country that we otherwise kinda like. It is so sad.

They want a normal life in the country they choose to live in before this whole theatre started. Many have families and businesses here and are reluctant to leave, but cannot stand to see into masked lifeless faces everyday. While where I live in Thailand there are no masks anymore, I can understand them and feel them. You sir must be very soul-less.

Because I like the nature, the territorial taxation system and that (beside with the mask-wearing) usually no one bothers me. The safety of the country for my children and that there is no risk of a war at the moment in Thailand, be it an escalation of China/USA or NATO/Russia. I do not get your logic. If you live in a country other than your home country, you should not criticize what you do not like? You should not open your mouth and say your opinion? That might be your way, but it is de facto a suppression of yourself. Men are feeling that in a decline of their male hormones and their general integrity. You can continue doing it, as most other expats are doing it here. I see so many low-T-males here. But I will not do it. You might argue that they throw me out of the country if I open my mouth. This might be even true. But just because they can rely on enough cucks like you that will stay here anyway without saying what they truly think because they are scared. Fear is ruling you. If everyone would be like me, they would need to decide between taking the foreign money or being in a condition as Laos or Myanmar. They would give us more rights before chasing away the cash-cow, but sadly people like you prevent this scenario. But this will not prevent me from publicly sharing my opinion, no matter in which country I am. I am not scared of anything.

Yup, because there is a connection. Japan is an inhumane and unnatural society, most likely the worst in the world (together with China). Robots, their weird porns and the low birth rate are as well symptoms of this broken society as the delusional mask-wearing. Completely detached from nature.

Thanks for pointing it out. I know, I am certainly superior to all these obeying sheeps and even more certainly to any useless government employee worldwide. While the security guard is working a normal 9-5 job and had this attitude that he would be more important than for example a farmer that brings some nice food on everyone's plate.

"intelligently"? I completely disagree. Japan is a very inhumane country. Vending machines everywhere. Robots in many places. The described mask wearing. Digital girlfriends/waifus. One of the lowest birth rates in the world. You can literally rent friends for money because social interaction there is so messed up. The pornos there are absolutely disgusting and weird, completely bizarre and extreme, a psychological expression for their suppressed emotions. In fact, in Japan there is a hidden culture admiring suicide, because the whole country has suppressed expression of emotion. A bit like in Thailand, just in Thailand it never really ends in suicide but more often in mass shootings, domestic violence, alcohol abuse and so on.

Yes! We live on a small island and mask-wearing here was just existing for 2-3 months. During this time sometimes we were the only ones without a mask, but never cared. But since most people stopped wearing one, you can see exactly the effect being described by you. The last people wearing masks took them off because suddenly THEY were the ones being weirdly looked at. Nevertheless, all the people who do not wear a mask on this island wear them as soon as they go onto the mainland. It NEVER was about health. It ALWAYS was about conformity.

Yes, it is very sad that the resistance in Thailand is so small. Indeed. And now? And why it does not apply to me?

My wife and me we always ignored it. When it was absolutely necessary because we needed to enter the premises we made the under-the-nose-mask and breathed free through the nose. ALWAYS. And outside on the street we NEVER wore a mask, often the only ones. Evil looks from others? Yeah of course, but we did not gave a f***. We were proud. We still are until today. Just in one place I was being shouted at to put the mask over the nose, The German Embassy ????????????Sadly there is just one German Embassy and I needed the document for my daughter, so I complied. But interestingly it was just the "I-am-so-superior"-security-Thai-guy at the entrance, inside the Embassy no one cared again. I walked several times maskless next to a police guy and nothing ever happened.

https://t.me/ResistanceTHA Go in here and ask the admin, he will tell you. You might learn something about the last bastions of resistance in Thailand as well.

You give stupid examples. The court in Thailand decided in favor of this guy, so what are you even arguing about?

Wait, France24 is "the only credible source" for you? ???? For me it is obviously the cognitiveresearchjournal, but well, you are a prime example of confirmation bias. And the teenagers you are talking about just wear them out of social conformity, they are scared of being an outcast. You ever talked to them and asking them why they wear a mask? No. Most likely you cannot even speak Thai. Me neither by the way. But my wife and her family often asked kids why they wear these masks and the answer is NEVER "because I am scared of COVID and want to proctect others" but always "because everyone does" or "because xyz(teacher, parents) told me to do"

Funny ironical comment. But actually yes indeed. I am a strong leader, a man with principles, integrity and a backbone who defends his belief in doing the right thing even if most people do the opposite. No one can bend me down.

What link? You need a link for common sense? You do not have eyes? The sister of my wife is working in a nursery. She have a 3-year-old that was not able to talk one word because the parents wore masks even at home, like the government told them. You can clearly see the mental impairment of the kids in Thailand since this mask-wearing began. No d**n link needed! But because you obviously cannot use your eyes and/or brain and wanna have links, here are "some": https://nypost.com/2022/02/07/study-children-have-harder-time-recognizing-mask https://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41235-022-00360-2ed-faces-than-adults/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10247315/Face-masks-harm-childrens-development-Study-blames-significantly-reduced-development.html https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220210-masks-in-class-how-damaging-to-child-development It always literally BREAKS MY HEART to see the sad robotic eyes of these masked children here, but obviously you are selfish or have no heart anymore and do not care.

Yes, many brainwashed so-called "authorities" might actually believe they are doing good. But good intentions does not equal good actions. You can sincerely believe doing something good while you are actually doing the opposite. There are COUNTLESS examples for that in history. And I am not just a tourist here. I have a Thai wife and a half-Thai child. I am staying here on a legal long-term-visa in my own property, so I am entitled to my own opinion and can act accordingly in this country without blindly bending over to others and following the herd. That being said, I would even always stand behind my ideals and moral grounds in any country that I am just a short-term tourist in. Morality and standing up for the right thing even if almost no one else is doing it have no time limit.

Your example with smoking is an example of apple and pears. It is actually good to not smoke, while it is bad to wear a mask. It does not protect from any virus, it does instead do harm to the wearer and especially to society as a whole. The worst is the cognitive impairment of kids, not just from their own mask wearing, but from not seeing the whole faces of their parents and other kids anymore. You pro-maskers or at least mask-defenders or at least mask-damage-deniers are a danger to humanity, while being brainwashed you would do the opposite.

LOL. People like you are the main reason why we have the issues with these totalitarian governments and government-matrix-agents worldwide nowadays. "If someone with authority comes to me I will obey" hahahaha damn, you must have a crooked backbone.

The admin of the group "The Resistance THA", which is quite famous in the resistance in Thailand and the only real Thai resisting the COVID-tyranny in Thailand, gone to court to argue that the Thai Constitution: 1. Allows him to fly without VAXX pass and COVID test with airplanes within Thailand due to Freedom Of Movement 2. Allows him to NOT wear a mask, as this would be a restriction on his personal freedom regarding medical choices The court ruled he was right. Sadly as always this was not covered by any of these paid mainstream-media-news-outlets, but it happened. If you are interested, I can ask my wife for the exact court case ruling number and you can print it out and take it to your bank. Otherwise you can just print the Thai Constitution, mark the relevant points and shove it in the masked face of the ignorant bank worker. Do not bend over just because you are in a foreign country. Because while being here we all need to abide by the rules of the Thai Constitution, which on the other hand actually provides us the mean of protecting our basic human rights of Freedom of Movement and Freedom of Medical Choice. During COVID the ruling class just made up a bunch of unconstitutional rules, like you need to wear a mask or your need to have vaxx pass and COVID test to move between provinces. They just bet that no one will take them to court and if it wouldn't be that one brave Thai guy, no one would ever have done. Where there is no plaintiff, there is no judge. Be the plaintiff and not an obedient sheep, just because everyone else around you is.

Huh? Sure you can, lol. We have no speed limits on many parts. One year ago a billionaire from Czech Republic drove his Bugatti 400km/h on our German Autobahn.

Yeah sure, I agree with your point. The sample is laughable. Too small to convince people to get vaxxed, but as well to convince people the vaxx is actually decreasing your lifespan. BUT from what I saw all over the world, official data and personal experiences and stories from friends and people that I know, the pattern continues in bigger samples everywhere. I am just genuinely happy that now, at the end of 2022, we can talk openly about stuff like that even on AseanNow. Just one year ago we would have all been censored and banned ???? And I can feel that even many vaxxed people realize that not the anti-vaxxers are the evil ones, but that it is the people who are lying to us since years (just one shot, just two, just three, 100% safe blablabla). I met so many people that are double or triple vaxxed and said they will never ever take any vaxxes anymore and their trust in governments, media and pharma is completely gone. Which I think is the only good thing from the last 3 years. I am hoping that truth in the end will succeed and we humans can be friends with each other again instead of fighting all the time. I had SO many verbal fights the last 3 years because of COVID, I am just sick and tired of it.

Well, this is completely stupid. Every "bad guy" makes enough money to obtain any kind of visa, the most bad guys can pay Elite Visa from their pocket change. If you follow no morals or ethics it is super easy to make money in our world. While many "good guys" struggle to survive in our brutal capitalistic system and do not even have money to eat anything beside the cheap dirty Thai Seafood.

I agree with fake stream media, but many alternative media outlets needs to be taken with a grain of salt as well. I know many people that realized main stream media is lying, just to make the same mistake with the alternative media again and now blindly believe them. You should never stop thinking for yourself.
