Thais in Pattaya concerned by foreigners not wearing face masks

[Ventenio]

Foreigners concerned about seeing....(insert)... in Pattaya.

 

OK, hate farangs.  BUT BUT BUT remember China started this whole mess

 

Farangs will stop coming, no more money, and the Chinese will eventually take over again.  

 

as they say, "don't bite the hand that feeds you."  

[KhunFred]

They also believe that amulets protect them. No surprise here. Paper masks are near useless, but Thais BELIEVE in them. Another lie has reached superstition proportions.

[transam]

Wonder if LOS folk knew about LOS Hepatitis warnings, they would want to wear a mask for that too....????

The World Health Organization may not know everything, but  it know more about viruses than anyone else. Here is their latest advice on masks

Contrary to your claim, wearing masks is difficult if you can't get one because Thais are hoarding them.

 

I notice that you did not include the fake news of your earlier post that people in Singapore wear face masks.  Some do most do not.  The Singapore Government follows WHO advice and has earned world wide praise for the way it has handled the pandemic.

 

Thailand has failed to deal with this in a timely manner, blaming it on foreigners (how many foreigners attended the famous boxing match and how many Thais were wearing face masks?). People living in Thailand Thais and Farangs, are now going to pay the price.

I wouldn't trust the Who for advice, when this is over they will be crucified for their concern over money vs lives..

It doesn't matter if they work or not..

 

It's a social rule/law now to wear one, wether you like it or not.

I do have LINE already, my friend got a ban from this forum for posting a link where they sell cheap good masks...but i'm not going into it before i get a ban as well from a farang here who thinks moutmasks are not necessary...i respect the thai more then most farang.

Could be a good idea just to have a thread where to find facemasks.

Just seen two experts on sky news saying no point wearing a mask really unless your constantly exposed like a nurse or doctor etc. 
Think would rather be safe than sorry if was around general public !

Is that not Price Gouging ??  A few weeks ago we were buying boxes of 50 for 190 baht to sell in the shop, 3 for 30 baht !

Probably, I only purchased them to carry on in my pocket for those butthurt places that require one for entry.

I don't think so, he wrote me het got banned for posting a link here to a shop like lazada where they sold loads of masks for good prices and he got a ban for 14 days for doing so...They called it spamming but he has nothing to do with that webshop.

 

Well what a nice forum don't you think?

If the Prime Minister and next in line to the throne have contracted the virus it's more than likely that thousands more have or are expected to as well but we're not being made aware of it.

 

Why do you think that in the UK temporary morgues and hospitals are being prepared?

Wow, seems a lot of hatred in there, young man. I haven't observed any reluctance of Thais giving foreigners masks. I wonder if they can sense the hate.

I am afraid I have. That simple xenophobia that used to be cute.

Yes, an Asian thing wear mask.

thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China most wear the mask in public place. Control corona.

 

When in Rome. 

Italy, US, UK, France, Spain, Netherlands not like wear the mask in public place.

Look what happen. 

 

If in public, please wear the mask. 

Not be selfish. 

Spreading fake  news as  well as  excess trolling, Singaporeans  dont wear  masks LINKS  below

But the tally indicated more about the thorough testing conducted on the island of 5.7 million. A study by Harvard University’s Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics estimates Singapore detects almost three times more cases than the global average due to its strong disease surveillance and fastidious contact tracing. In order to uncover COVID-19 infections that may have otherwise evaded detection, Singapore’s health authorities decided early on to test all influenza-like and pneumonia cases. They have also spared no pains in hunting down every possible contact of those infected. The process, which operates 24/7, starts with patient interviews, and has also involved police, flight manifests and a locally developed a test for antibodies, which linger even after an infection clears.

 

Most Sinagporeans DO  NOT WEAR MASKS source https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/world/asia/coronavirus-singapore-hong-kong-taiwan.html

 

 For all the panic erupting elsewhere, most Singaporeans do not wear masks out, because the government has told them it’s not needed for their safety.

 

This is WHY SIngapore  has had great success and they have actively traced  all contacts  ruthlessly and talking of "selfish"  Thais  must be one of the most selfish nations on earth, only have to see them driving to realise  that, park where they want regularly  double park, the guy that runs into 7-11  then tries to buy  cigarettes by not waiting in the queue etc etc..it IS the " me  first"mentality.

Even as thay started to abort flights Embassies around the world were telling you to get home with flights filling fast. It was ignored

which words do you interpret as "hatred" in my post, are you for real

 

Maybe English is not your spoken tongue so quite understandable if you interpreted it incorrectly 

 

and just to add, I see more Thais not wearing masks than farangs 

 

Good old health minister started down this hatred racism path and now the average Thai is coming off with the same deluded (deleted), I see they now stopped linking every CV infection to a foreigner - at least that's a start

I think you right. The problem is that the Thais outnumber the farangs and farangs stick out so easily. So any farang (be it one or ten) are much more noticeable.

 

I walked down my soi in Bangkok this morning (wearing a mask) and there is a certain area where the locals gather to buy meals. I saw at least 8 people sitting around a little table talking, smoking and having fun. No social distancing and no masks. Opposite our house there were 5 guys smoking on the street (construction workers having a break). I thought smoking in public was declared illegal.

 

I fear for my life with all these disrespecting Thais.

 

I don't want to appear be racist as I am not and I have many Thai friends. It's just certain types of people.

Some of my Thai friends/acquaintances are very wealthy and they are the complete opposite of these people. They spend fortunes on UV equipment, I don't know how many different types of sanitisers at incredible prices and yes, dozens of expensive face masks which they seem to wear all day long (I see on video calls).

About 80% wearing masks in my neighbourhood including the “ chin “ masks and those not covering the nose !

Yes, and I am afraid Thais do that too. Saw 2 in Tesco this AM, 1 without mask, 1 only over her mouth. Mind you, the latter, when I motioned to pull it over her nose as she stood too near me in the checkout line, complied with a smile, I think.

what do respect about thais. The fact that they blame everyone except themselves ? Their lack of education and common sense ? Their belief in amulets rather than safety ? Their belief that the laws of the road, and others, only apply to others ? Their belief that wearing a mask, while riding the wrong  way down a road, with no licence , insurance , tax, , 4 people to a bike, and then blame the farang when they have an accident ? Belief that it is the right if thais only, to wear a mask if they wish, but not for farangs to do so ? Their Belief that it is always the farangs fault, never theirs ? Would be good if you would tell us exactly what it is you respect in Thais ?

Don't you know sarcasm when you see it?

 

I am not worried at all.

Having read the OP once again I should write "I fear for my health"

Edited March 29, 2020 by petedk

[jmccarty]

What is needed, is very clear instructions how to wear and remove the mask safely so you don't expose yourself and others to the virus droplets if they do get on the mask somehow and not on the rest of your body or clothes.  Without that, the masks are providing a false sense of security.
