soalbundy Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Does anybody know if it is a requirement that you wear a face mask when visiting IO ? I am in Isan and will visit to do my 90 day report in a few weeks, normaly here they are pretty relaxed but I don't want to be refused service when I turn up just because they may think it's a lack of respect or whatever.

Popular Post bkk6060 Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 I think the prudent and responsible thing to do is wear one no matter what. What if you have a minor coughing or sneeze attack? They might and probably will kick you out of the place with no mask. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot buy a mask, then you cannot take one to the immigration office . Not sure why you asked the question if you cannot buy a mask 2 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avvocato Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I was at Khon Kaen Thursday afternoon last. There was no "requirement". One or two customers didn't have a mask. All IO and workers did. Most clients did. If you have one or can find one use it. The right thing to do. Of course things change daily so perhaps some offices may require. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know person you do make them according to design wanted .... they are certainly not FFP2 but the kind most Thais wear , it it does stop a littlebit of the spread .

Matzzon Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) There is a possibility to find masks. that said, you might have to drive around to find them. Construction companies usually have, and their masks are better than nothing. Your question is strange. By now it´s a duty for all person with any amount of human intelligence to wear a mask as soon as they leave home. REQUIREMENT????? Really!!!!!???? Yes, for your own and others safety.

Pib Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Fortunately I bought a bunch masks last year due to the Bangkok pollution levels Dec-Feb. N95 and surgical-type masks. But for the last few weeks here in Bangkok it's close to impossible to buy a mask in a store or even online....and if buying online it really meant it may take weeks or more to arrive (if it arrived). Most people are getting masks from a few govt hand-outs or when a good Samaritan neighbor somehow comes up with a bunch of masks and/or hand sanitizer for free handout....that's happened twice in my moobaan over the last week. Heck, on Lazada around mid last week when you did a search for "masks" or similar wording there was a ton of sellers with masks for sale....but starting late last week a search does not return any sellers because I guess due to the extreme online price gouging and fraudulent sales going on that Lazada just shut online sale of masks for now.
