This was reduced to just 2,000 baht on admission of the offence. Earlier the provincial governor had threatened fines of 20,000 baht. The media did not explain the discrepancy. The nationality of the person or their name was not revealed. Yesterday Manager reported that foreigners were not wearing masks to the Mae Nam market on Koh Samui that is in Surat Thani.

Popular Post toofarnorth Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 I don't wear a mask outside my home. Unlike most I see on the motorbikes . I do however wear one when walking about of course but as soon as I am biack to my bike or in car it comes off , a bit like wearing a a pair of boots while taking a bath. I was going to say walking around wearing a condom when not needed but I thought that was just too nasty ti write. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tmoney Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 The news report is incorrect. The statement said "threatened fines not exceeding 20,000", not "of 20,000" Not the same meaning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyIdea Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) 20,000 is a bit steep, 2,000 and lots of them is much more useful Edited April 22, 2021 by MikeyIdea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post apetryxx Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 Practically every study one reads says that wearing a mask outdoors is totally unnecessary and a useless exercise. As noted above, clueless folks zooming around on motorbikes with masks and no helmets is a laughable practice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mancub Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Wearing it at half-mast is presumably OK, and about as worthwhile as wearing a helmet without fastening it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you've experienced this here , but when you try to explain something that takes more than just one sentence to get your point across with some form of logic, they turn around and say "You think too much" Or after explaining, they just give you a blank stare of confusion as if it didn't sink in? After this point you just think, what a waste of time and energy even trying to explain.... ???? lol ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
