Sundown Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I haven't been to the beach since corona. Is the mandatory mask on beaches regulation still in force in Phuket? If so, do they enforce it of its like the scan Thai Chana thing that no one cares about anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Psimbo Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 Still in force but not enforced. I'm probably the only one when I'm on Kamala Beach exercising that is wearing one. When I'm not close to people I have it under my chin. When I get closer to others I just pull it up again. Mask apathy is growing in Phuket unfortunately (lets steer clear of the are they effective or not debate). My attitude is that they are required so I wear one- what others do is up to them. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I go to a number of beaches and maybe 5% of people wear one on the beach. Nai Harn used to have some sort of set up where they tried to funnel everyone through one point, but it looks like that's been stopped as barriers to entry for cars seems to have been removed. There was never any such choke point at Kata or Karon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 "When I'm not close to people I have it under my chin. When I get closer to others I just pull it up again." For your own sake, and sake of others, do not do that! The virus is not like a sidewinder missile, only flying into your nose. It is more like a spray paint and can land on your chin. A mask may offer some protection if you cover your nose and mouth, preventing virus from getting into lungs. When you pull it down over your chin, it can act like a small towel, mopping up any virus that may have "missed the mark". Then you pull up that now potentially covered with virus mask very close to your breathing passages. Not wise. It drives me to distraction when I see people with masks over chin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) The ones with the full lens covering the eyes, nose and mouth and with the attached snorkel seem to offer very good protection but seem a bit excessive for most negotiations with beach vendors. 555?

Under chin, whih is usually not protected you may have some virus and you might then contaminate your mask ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
