Popular Post Grumpy John Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 I too find his words and ideas to be derogatory. The majority of us who live here full time, and many who don't, are probably more aware of the risks and the actions that need to be taken than this......government parrot. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sirineou Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I read two pages looking for an answer to the obvious question but found none. Is it compulsory to wear a Mask? if not how can you legally punish someone for not breaking the law. If it is required by law to wear a mask then everyone should wear it. PS: I am out of Thailand and not coming back until this thing is over, don't want to get trapped there if things get bad.

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 He's going to have to up his "apology" game. Or return to the construction business. In his online apology, he said the foreigners “showed disgust at Thais.” “I apologize that today I kinda ‘lost myself’ to some Europeans who showed disgust at Thais who wear masks and refused to cooperate to wear the masks,” he wrote on Facebook. That was insufficient. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimG Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The USA Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says people should not wear face masks. Didn't really say why. I read somewhere recently that those who are ill should wear the masks as it will keep their spray from getting in the air when they sneeze. The regular surgical (blue) masks don't do much anyway.

Face masks that do little to protect create the problem of a false security that might cause people to be less defensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand, promotion isn't based on intelligence and competence, the process is corrupt and depends on connections and favours. Thats why an imbecile such ad this is in the position he is in. Yes indeed,simony and nepotism being the prevailing dynamic in Shangri-La-the Land of Fractured Fairy Tales. The default position of the Thai elites has always been to blame foreigners and I wonder why this process is so difficult to grasp and understand for "farangs" as it is perfectly obvious and stands out like a country dunny on parade..

Not my experience, although I am not in Pattaya or Bangkok. I went to the Ayutthaya mall today with the gf, we both wore cheap 1 time use masks( our choice ). There was probably 5% of people wearing masks but , more importantly, none of the servers in the food courts or servers in restaurants ( that I could see ) were wearing any masks. The health minister might want to address people who are handling and serving food to Thai and foreigners rather than the foreigners who reserve their choice whether to take a mask from his bare hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 47 minutes ago, Victornoir said: Me too. I always try to wear a mask at the restaurant but it is difficult to eat with.. I've been to Dubai many times and used to wonder how those in full face coverings eat. Eventually I saw one in a restaurant swiftly lift the veil, stuff the food in her mouth and then let it drop again. Extraordinary way to live, but up to them if it makes them what they think is comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason one should wear one is they are spraying droplets because of infection then it should be at least have N95 rating 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny1990 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 There are Millions of Thais not wearing a face mask even shop clerks in Baan Beyond.
