Popular Post Martinpeter Posted April 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hi/. I saw this new rule apposed for driving in Bangkok now yesterday! If more than 1 person (2 people or more) everybody must wear a mask now? in the car! Is this only for Bangkok or all provinces? Will they impose fines if not (wearing a mask - more than 1 person)? cheers 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted April 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2021 A mask is required in 50 provinces. I think they all will have the same rule when driving. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but it was only mentioned by the BMA, so its unclear if it applies to all provinces (wearing masks in vehicles). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually not typical Thai logic, because this one makes sense. If there would be any exception most people who are found without mask would claim that the other persons are their husband/wife/bf/gf/children or whatever and police would have discussions. If there were a mask exception for other reasons, for example for exercising, people who don't want to wear a mask would just claim that they are exercising if they should get caught. Thus no exceptions, makes it way easier to enforce. 4 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, presumably because then they are not in the house, they are outside, in their car in public areas. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donmuang37 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 That silly rule about wearing masks in cars when more than I person is in the car was promulgated by the BKK gov't. Most people seem to be ignoring it for obvious reasons. As Joe says, masks are reqired outside your home in most areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickudon Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Easy, just get darker windows in the car, and keep a mask nearby! And, does a face visor count as a mask? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood Joe but I think it begs the question of if I am "in pubic" within the closed confines of my own car. My outlook is the same while I am within the confines of my face enclosed motorbike helmet (full head/face enclosure). I know, TIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timendres Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 If I were driving a car, and I was forced to wear a mask, it would possibly create a serious safety issue, as masks make my glasses fog up so much that it affects my ability to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiggley Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I agree with timendres, I wear glasses to drive and when wearing a mask my glasses fog up hence dangerous to drive.

Don't turn on the aircon, then your glasses won't fog up. Use contact lenses. There are probably more options to overcome this obstacle in your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternative is to tell the wife to catch a Win and meet her there. Edited May 16, 2021 by Ralf001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no exceptions. They said that if you are alone in your car you don't need to wear a mask, I guess their argumentation is that your are physically separated from other people by the chassis of your car, so you are not outside / in public. I don't see how this could be applied to motorbikes, on a motorbike you are clearly outside, so probably always mask. It's difficult to see though if you are wearing a mask under a full face helmet or not. I also think that the chance to get fined when not wearing a mask and riding alone is very small.
