No issues with vaccinations, I took them because I just wanted the ordeal to be over, although I think history already does not look kindly on how we treated those who justifiably had concerns about the rapid development of them. And the fact I need to explain why being surrounded by face masks is not a pleasant atmosphere just shows that sexpats are as brainwashed and stupid as the local dum dums. Masks are for the mentally ill and cowards - perfect tools to control for the despots who run tinpot dictatorships like Thailand

I can go wherever I want, freedom to work remotely and earn, unlike you who will probably stay in BKK for the rest of his life surrounded by cowards in face masks

This should be the anthem for the covid pussies who forever want to live like some disobedient mut - eyes without a face, they've got no human grace

They are everywhere - you might find some tourist heavy areas where numbers are low, but there will always at least 1 moron stinking out the atmosphere with their muzzle

Anyone with an IQ above 50 realizes that many people Thailand are enslaved to covid paranoia and will never let go of their pathetic muzzles

And as another member so excellently put it "Masks are cringeworthy. It basically says "I am opting out of normal society because I am a very precious flower and more valuable than you filthy germ carrying parasites" - bunch of wet wipes in this country

It won't - permanent psychological damage has been caused to them. They are too weak, stupid and cowardly to ever move on.

Yep and this perturbingly irrational behaviour still permeates Thailand today - total cowards and freaks in this country. No wonder tourists are turning their back on Thailand, no sane individual wants to be around these pathetic clowns.

Spending your whole life hiding your basic human emotions behind some filthy muzzle like a mutinous dog because you are scared of a little bit oogie boogie flu - you are sub-human as far as I am concerned. To qualify as an actual human you need to show your face in public. What a pitiful man you are,

Jaysus man - how many times do people have to repeat themselves? The answers to these questions are in the OP and throughout the thread. If you enjoy being served by faceless robots in face masks then you are not human as far as I am concerned.

They can't accept that their beloved Thailand is no longer the Land of Smiles, so they make up comforting lies in order to try and make you feel like you're the one who is deranged, irrational and obsessed, when quite clearly it is many of the locals who are.

And it's Olympian level gaslighting to assume I am the one still hung up when this country clearly still hasn't moved on, I am moved on back in 2021, like the rest of the world. It is Thais and other Asians who are still hung up, not me. Clown.

You live in cloud cuckoo land - look at all the people wearing them inside shopping malls. No pm25 or sun in there - it's an insult to people's intelligence to think people will believe that. Many Thais are still scared of covid and will be forever - that's a fact.

And you've insulted me - so why should I play nice with you. I fight fire with fire. Always have and always will.

Ok good to know you're an old git - you're as brainwashed and delusional as many of the locals. Bet you haven't even left Thailand in years, since you know you're utterly worthless anywhere else in the world.

Yea because I keep getting asked the same tedious question each time - amazing how dumb so many of you are. And don't gaslight me you insufferable goon - it's clear to anyone with eyes and a brain that a high percentage of Thais still wear masks due to a totally irrational fear of covid. I wouldn't be surprised if some still sleep with their masks on.

The answer to that question is quite literally in the quote - not hard to figure out why. Masks create emotional barriers between people, they are like trying to figure out a jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing. I know we live in a world full of vacuous and empty-headed morons who play inane TikTok videos out loud on their phone, but some of us still appreciate genuine human connection. Also, on a purely superficial level, they are utterly hideous to look at - they dehumanize us and make us look like robots, thereby inducing a miserable atmosphere for those around them. They also serve us constant reminders of the medical tyranny we had to endure and perpetuate unnecessary levels of fear and anxiety. We could also argue that they violate some of the core tenets of the social contract - since they embolden criminals by normalizing a society where people's identity is anonymized. Before 2020, it was illegal to cover your face in indoor public space - we should revert back to pre-pandemic norms. Ok, if you have health issues fine, but let's be real, 99% of the clowns still wearing muzzles today do not have any underlying health conditions - their insistence on stinking out the atmosphere and ruining the culture is driven by cowardice, paranoia, docility and lack of critical thinking.

I travelled to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan back in June, and I am not just saying this to be provocative and contrarian - but both these countries had a significantly higher proportion of people smiling compared to Thailand. Not a mask in sight, just happy and healthy people welcoming you to their beautiful country, and as a result of this you feel much more connected with the local people. Wonderfully underrated countries. The first thing you see when you step off the plane at BKK airport is a sea of masked staff who clearly never take them off and most likely wear the same one all day, both indoors and outdoors. Complete insanity and clearly nothing to do with pollution - and even if it were, then it would still be insanity.

Nearly 100,000 posts on this forum and you're still yet to say anything even remotely interesting or insightful. All the charm of a prostate exam.

And no, I didn't acknowledge that, nor will you find any evidence of me suggesting so in this thread. If I feel sick, I just stay at home and rest - common sense really. And yes, Thailand had lower cases during the first wave as they shut their borders hard early on, it was nothing to do with masks. From 2021 onwards - the rate of infection in heavily masked countries such as Thailand, Japan, Taiwan e.t.c is the same, if not higher than that of Western countries where literally nobody still wears a mask. The data is clear - at a community level they don't work, maybe in a laboratory experiment they prevent a few particles spreading, but real life isn't a laboratory. Besides, as I have already mentioned on countless occasions - I don't really care about the efficacy, I am more concerned about the psychological implications of masking and what it does to human connection and interaction. Whatever though, I don't live here, as mentioned I am just visiting, I don't have to deal with being surrounded by wimpy and psychosomatic hypochondriacs who live in constant fear by hiding their faces in public like some mutinous dog in public.

All in the past now - time to move on. It is nearly 2026, it has been pretty much 6 years now. The current severity of the situation does not justify insane behaviours like driving alone with a mask on or walking around a shopping mall in an oversized surgical mask on, only to remove it when you sit down to eat at a restaurant. By any metric, that is ostensibly dumb behavior and the the constant burden of wearing a mask will cause far more harm than the virus ever will. It is genuinely mental how scared people in Thailand are still and has exposed a deep-rooted cowardice and irrationality at the core of the national psyche.

The only fruitcakes are the ones still wearing masks, eternally petrified of covid and there are a lot of these wimps in Thailand.

Maybe I am still tripping from that shroom shake I did at Railay beach

Just did a quick Youtube search and it is around 40% - usual suspects. Dumpy old middle-aged women and soppy young men with less testetreone than a rotting cabbage. Complete freaks who will never let it go.
