Seems like a nice person.

Not wearing masks because his mate sold them all to china.

DUCKING uneducated asshat 

All this blowhard talking about masks and in reality the masks do NOTHING to stop you getting infected.

So glad we are GTF of Thailand 

I dont want my child to be dumber by having morons like this as so call leadership...

There is nothing to do, it is not a matter of the old generations, but a cultural problem, a real racism towards western peoples, that air of false tolerance you can breath everywhere, preconceptions and stereotypes that are probably installed in the minds of Thai people since childhood by a strongly controlled educational system.

I would say a class racism (because these kind of idiots obviously make out with the high class farangs).
Obviously all Western embassies are silent, because they don't care about ordinary people, they are here to do business, networking and spying.

He blamed them for fleeing Europe and coming to Thailand potentially spreading the Covid-19 virus.

How many felangs actually fit into that category ?

How many felangs were concerned about Corona and thought " I'll go to Thailand to avoid Corona " ?

  The amount is probably similar to the amount of post-op ladyboys who still have a pair of nuts

How much trouble could I get in for following him on twitter and replying to all his tweets with a buffalo emoji? ????

I already created a Twitter account to tell him he's a racist buffoon (in Thai, since I am fluent), but most Thais have been even more scathing in their criticism and frankly, I have better things to do with my time than waste it on a <deleted> buffalo posing as a minister of health.

Plus we can’t find any , only gel starting to be released now still no masks in Korat, maybe they hoarding from us

there have been several instances of Thai recycling used hospital face masks - one report showed huge bags of them being washed then ironed and packed up for resale as new - how disgusting is that

 

and then we had the Thai guy complaining earlier in the week about his face mask purchase of over 1 million baht all rotting before he could shift them to China lol 

I live in Chiang Mai:

 

1.  Shower at least 2x a day

2.  Always wear a mask when outside of my Apartment Complex

3.  Always carry my own Dettol Hand Sanitzer(which I had to buy on Lazada because not a single pharmacy had them).  

 

On the otherhand how many times has a foreigner observed employees at the mall not wash their hands after using the toilet?  Especially concerning if the employee is wearing a restaurant uniform.  

 

The minister was recently interviewed on Channel News Asia and he spoke English.  He did not say anything substantial but appeared professional.

Indeed. They are also here to try to force regime change on Thailand in secret, so perhaps this gaffe further justifies this in their eyes, to the point that remaining silent seems like the best strategy right now (then again, let's see whether governments start adding "be careful if you're a westerner" as they have sort of done in relation to Thailand being classified as a country where you should "exercise a high degree of caution, terrorists may be targeting venues where westerners gather"). This quote I am taking from Australia's "Smart Traveller" government advise website. Australia for it's part has considered the entirety of Thailand a place where one should "exercise a high degree of caution" for years, yet interestingly, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are just "exercise normal precautions". In other words, Australia considers Isarn to be more dangerous than Sihanoukville.

Can he even speak English? Besides, since he hates farang so much why is he speaking 'our' language?

Imagine if a government official in, say, America said something like this about Thais.

 

OMG

 

Immediately gone, fired, never to return....

No he didn't. He wasn't speaking the truth.

Enough.  Time to act here.  I strongly encourage everyone to contact their embassies if even by just emailing as this can spiral out of control with these types of comments and lead to violence against all of us.  CONTACT YOUR EMBASSY. 

You know he will turn to rot. 

if this so called health minister is  so well informed, then he already should have known, that masks doesn' t have any effect.

But it is indeed a racist if he talks like this.

One day most farangs, including me, will have left Thailand.

Going to a country where they feel really "welcome".

I know not every farang is behaving the right way, but hey, are all Thai so perfect.

If he keeps it up Thailand's tourism dependent economy will collapse or he will be "quietly" removed to save face. Since money and image are such important factors (especially for Thailand) I doubt he will last. Something has to give. You can't expect to twice insult an entire race of people and then still expect this same group of people to have confidence in the country by visiting or investing in it.

I agree. It can definitely lead to violence. Good advise, which I will be following.

No wonder Boomjai Thai were in favor of medicinal cannabis , they need it.

"Dirty Farangs" - ie I resent that these much stronger, faster, richer, smarter, better looking male species get to lay more local p***y than me.  Irrespective of position; same subconscious narrative.

Not sure how you can claim be "smarter" and then use such a dim comparison 

Government health minister: Watch out for "dirty farangs"

Those same "dirty farangs" that saved you sorry asses during the Asian financial crisis to the tune of billions you thankless lowlife POS!

This guy is viewed by some as being the best choice as PM should Prayut leave the job. His party has taken some ex FFP MPs, thus strengthening his hand. He obviously feels emboldened and bulletproof.

If he had said this about the Chinese or Russians, Xi and Putin would be raging mad by now and threatening Thailand with sanctions, embargoes, and tourism boycotts. Our embassies? Silence.
