Video: Amazing Thailand - public ordered to do press-ups and jumping jacks for not wearing face masks

 

Picture: 77kaoded

 

A video from southern Thailand showed public health officials at checkpoints ordering people riding motorcycles and driving cars to do 20 press-ups or jumping jacks for not wearing masks. 

 

It all seemed very good natured and no one was fined.

 

However, they were warned not to do it again and wear a mask next time. 

 

77kaoded reported that some people were given masks to wear.

The spectacle seems to have been the idea of a phu yai ban (village chief) called Chaiya in the Na Muang Petch sub-district of Trang. 

 

Children and adults - some carrying a little extra weight - were seen smiling as they complied with the orders.

Nobody cares that the people on the bikes don't use helmets. An embarrassing example of law enforcement....

Muppets. The physical exertion and heavy breathing will only help proliferate the spread of virus laden exhalant.

You Farang you do 50

[faraday]

As many Thai people are having financial issues, & probably just do not have any fine money.

 

I think it's a reasonable response by the police.

We traveled back by car from our house near Trang last month to here in Pattaya (retirement extension renewal) and was advised beforehand to have masks and sanitised gel "at the ready" we did but with only one check along the 940 kms run it was a bit of a waste of time....4 weeks on it may be different,we will see as were off down there again on sunday

My Mrs was turned back in the village last month with 4 kids in the car as she didn't have hers and the kids masks on, and was going up the road 400 metres to her mums farm land.

 

She was livered, came back huffing and puffing as if she was going to get the shotgun....lol

Anyway if i wear that mask all the time, my ear drop off! Maybe have to glue that in my face!

Soon they make raid in your home to check if you wear it when you sleep or most important when you take a sht!

They had better have medics on standby to treat those that suffer a heart attack.

So they have the same lousy policeforce all over the country? Not only here it seems.

[connda]

Not wearing a face mask is akin to attempted murder.  These selfish people who refuse to follow the law should be jailed for manslaughter if they test positive for Covid.   The BIB should take the lead from Rodrigo Duterte and toughen up.

Most are volunteers getting a minimum for their help from what my Mrs tells me, we see them at the boom gate under their tent eating and 90% wearing their face masks under their chins in close proximity of each other and when they have had enough, they keep the gate up as most without masks on bikes ride through laughing.

I can't wear a face mask whilst I'm driving because they make my glasses steam up which makes it tricky to see where I'm going!

Yup, same here.

 

I do wear for checkpoints and tolls, don't want to antagonise the plod.

[stevenl]

Similar I have seen a while ago for people not wearing a helmet. Good idea, especially now with people not having any money.
