By all means wear one to enter a store that requires it, but just to walk around outside...ridiculous. I don't wear them because they are necessary, they clearly aren't in Thailand. I do it so as not to offend Thai people. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't worn a mask since the beginning and frankly I doubt anyone cares, since most people around me aren't wearing them either. It's also not my responsibility (or yours) to placate the irrational fear brainwashed people are having. In my opinion, I don't think most Thais care either way. I'm sure most are getting a little sick of wearing them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And continue to believe everything you see on TV, never do any independent research and keep sending these useless graphs our way. We don't care and we're not going to allow ourselves to be guided by irrational hysteria. My guess is you wear your mask inside your home 24/7 including when you sleep too? In Victoria, Australia, there were actually suggestions to enforce mask wearing at home. From the sounds of it, you would welcome such a decision here! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you're not mine and you're certainly not the spokesperson for Thai people. I can speak the language and most of them are pretty decent people. I prefer engaging people in conversation and letting them know that there is no need to live in fear. Most already don't seem to be anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When covid control in the world= no need for mask in plaza etc. The farang like to say how thailand should control covid. But 200,000 new infection in farang country everyday. Thailand would be stupid follow that. If your country follow rule for 5 week, can control same thailand. But want to argue, fight, anti mask, anti vaxxer loons make it be impossible. 8 month, 800,000 die already and still cry/fight/complain/moan/groan about wear mask. Is not difficult. Better than loose job, business. Idiots. Does anybody know why Mr. Yinn cares so much about this Covid BS around the world? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'phone/keys/wallet' is a thing of the past I got to know it from a Sheffielder as "wallet, keys, spectacles, testicles" and for a personalised checklist before leaving the house added "phone" to it and recently also "mask".

So why still the masks?? Because covid is still out there and if someone slips through with the virus, the "new normal" means the spread is a lot slower. There are still people entering Thailand with the virus, if one of them is not contained, then wearing masks, social distancing and checking temperature will help slow the spread. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your avatar perfectly describes the type of person you are Mr. Pol Pot. I've been to several parts of Thailand recently and from my own observations, things are as I've stated. There was a lot of fear and panic early on, much less now. Granted they're ramping it up again in border provinces near Myanmar.
