Popular Post webfact Posted March 12, 2020 Popular Post Posted March 12, 2020 Virus woes: Pattaya landlord complains to the media after he's left with a million baht of rotten face masks Picture: Daily News A landlord in Pattaya has appealed for help from the media after he bought 100,000 face masks for distribution in China in February. What he thought were high quality masks turned out to be rubbish - they are now stinking his house out and covered in fungus. He wants his million baht back but the police are doing nothing. Twenty seven year old Artur Sae-wang's boss in China asked him to buy the masks so that he could donate them to the needy suffering from the coronavirus outbreak. So he went to a hospital in the Don Muang area of Bangkok on February 7th to check out a supply of masks for sale. After determining that they were the real McCoy he parted with 1,075,000 of his own money. However, three days later when they were due to be exported he was advised that they were bad quality and had started to rot and get infected with fungus. Picture: Daily News He reported the matter to Don Muang police who asked him to take the evidence home with him because it was causing the station to stink. Since then he has heard no developments in the case so he turned to the media. He was pictured with many boxes of "Non-Woven 3-ply tie on type face masks".

These were being sold at a time when Thailand was seeking a supplier of face masks. I am not sure that there are many if any private hospitals in the Don Meuang area of Bangkok so maybe some opportunist employee at a government hospital is the real low-life here? 3

tifino Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 He is a perfect example; of why many a Big grocery outlet have put up signs: "No Change Of Mind Return Policy" they think they are going to make a big load of bucks/baht, and then find no way of flipping the sheers quantities upon an increasing suspicous/cautious market same going for dunny paper, paper towel, face tissues, femeine hygiene, hand sanitising products etc etc one gets the same good feelings, when read of ticket scalpers being caught outside the front gate of a big game...

AllThaiedUp Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Save them for Halloween.. a rotting mask just might be the new craze! ______________________

anthobkk Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 don't know what is worst. A hospital selling masks despite shortage of masks in Thailand or that guy trying to tell the world he did it only to help the poor Chineses people, out of interest.
SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 amazing story. but i can confirm that there is a real worldwide shortage of masks. many friends of mine asked many pharmacies in few countries - there are no masks at all !!
