It is against the law not to wear a mask?

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. 

Wow, wow. Then you should not go out at all since it is also an attempted murder. I wonder what would you say if next they will order to wear a mask in your own house.

those officials should have a brain check; to see if they have one

It seems absolutely not. Amazing to see how the nation state is run like horse play of elementary school kids.

Would a foreigner get away with 20 push ups?

 

Many I’ve seen couldn’t. Maybe 25 kilos ago yes.

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.

You clearly understand Thailand much better than so many TV posters who live in their expat bubble oblivious to reality.

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

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 thought and hoped that mr Prayuth would give thailand a real policeforce.....but that was a dream.

With buffoonary testing like this, no wonder Thailand is so low in figures 

As usual with these videos, they are always referred to as 'Amazing'. They aren't amazing at all. They are pathetic. Just like when the cops get school boys riding without helmets to do squats.

 

How about they actually enforce the law. This might make people slowly conform to the rules that are set. Instead, after days of lower deaths on the roads due to the lockdown, yesterday they were back to over 60. 

Just thought of a good way to confuse them

I would rather Thailand stay as it is than be like my home country, Scotland, where you can be arrested for being in a car at traffic lights and having a drink of water or eating a sandwich. Ridiculous. 

 

In Australia last year, I was fined over $100 for parking outside a shop, facing the wrong direction. I was in for 2 minutes buying a bottle of milk. The warden must have been hiding behind a tree, as I never saw them, ridiculous.

I always thought reality was an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol.

people are generally happy to follow rules when they make sense 

 

wearing a mask alone (or with family members) in a private car is ridiculous

Of course, but not as entertaining for the petty officials though. You're speaking as if logic entered into the process.

 

I know this sounds morbid, but will there be video evidence of someone forced to do press-ups dying of a heart attack I wonder?

Soooo, one has to wear a mask inside your car then?

 

I had written last week that I was told it would be a 20k fine if I was to be seen again driving my truck without a mask on. It’s a head shaker for sure. 

have to have masks, but don't worry about no helmet

It's The Law!!!

Let common sense prevail, but some don't have that. You follow any law?

It is a "do-you-wear-a-mask check point" not a "do-you-wear-a-helmet check point". ????

I don´t follow every law - but I don´t complain if I have to pay a fine.

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! 

Which part of the law says you need to see where you are going? Nobody else cares, why should you?

Nothing says you need to breathe, either. If you stop breathing, you won't spread contagion. Well, not very far, at least! (You won't kill too many with your driving habits either.)

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

 

Exactly.....they never look ahead.....one person doing roadside "exercises" and has a heart attack would put a stop to this nonsense!!  Idiots!!
