So from now on half an hour unmasked coffee break in open air is acceptable for everybody...????

 

 

The only responsible response should have been...

 

.......“We apologise, we understand we set laws in place and we failed to abide by these regulations, we will accept our 6000 baht fine” ...

 

Instead we have a hypocrite with the power and influence of a Dept. PM and the emotional tools of a child...  What else can go wrong ?? !!!!

How dare anyone in Thailand criticise a superior. It's just not on in this culture. Dame shame there wasn't a dirty double vaxed flalang in the background not wearing a mask.

he was at a table drinking. no mask required under rules.

othe unmasked people (tourists) complained about here today on other thread were sunbathing / swimming at the hotel swimming pool.no mask necessary.

vindictitive moody gestapo expats kindly adjust your fault -finding informant mentality......and get a life.

 

You seem to have let your foot off the clutch a little too early in ‘kicking off and taking a stand against all other expats’...  Perhaps you think you should be the only one here, makes you more special ???  BUT, you have failed to recognise that this is not a ‘farang’ stand.

 

This was highlighted by Thai media. For the most part the outrage is being levied by the Thai Media, by Thai Netizens... us non-Thai’s are piggy-backing on this outrage, not because of the lack of mask wearing itself, but because of the hypocrisy shown by someone in a position of decision making power. 

 

 

With the exception of all but the most neurotic of us, I think we can all agree with that while sunbathing, swimming, socially distancing on the beach, running, cycling etc that mask wear is not really necessary..

 

Levelling the accusation that expats are ‘vindictive, moody, gestapo’ highlights your failure to recognise the primary issue and have been blinded by your hasted to level criticism towards expat sanctimony.

Can't take the heat little man? I suggest getting out of the kitchen. Your absence would contribute to greater lives for everyone in this nation. 

 

And no need to rub it in you fool. We all realize you and your overly entitled goon squad have been double vaxex, while the rest of us commoners wait. 

[chilli42]

Anyone see the clown show at the G7 meeting? A photo opp with all the clowns masked and properly distanced.  Then immediately afterward a cocktail party with no masks or distance …. of course the serving staff all with masks on.  Entitlement is alive and well in our home countries as well.

It was only 30 minutes. We were having a break

so if the cops try to fine you for not wearing a mask then this is exactly what you say 

Yes, if you were eating, as they were!  There would be no fine because no regulations were ignored.     Perhaps you wear a mask when eating and drinking?

And we've all had enough doses of listening to you .. 

 

As for taking their masks off for some munchies may I suggest the lot of them wear gimp masks as that would allow them to remain masked when chowing .. and in Anutins case the mouth zipper could be padlocked shut so we haven't got to put up with his inane drivel anymore .. 

[Dogmatix]

"We've all had two doses of vaccine".

 

But since Anutin claims to have been vaccinated with his efficacious money spinning formula, Sinovac, he is probably unprotected against the delta now, just like all of Thailand's healthcare staff.

"It was only 30 minutes. We were having a break and some snacks and a cup of coffee before going to welcome the foreign tourists at the airport"

 

I missed that in my earlier comments...   Nothing to see here.. just media hysteria and baiting news.. 

 

They were having snacks and coffee !!! - they were doing nothing wrong.

Seems like he would be an okay fellow if he were just managing his family construction company and not the health ministry.  

 

 

[suestra29]

Flaunting that he and the others are safe as they have had 2 jabs is about as an ignorant statement as he could possibly have made. Lose that supercilious grin, get off you butt and organise vaccines for everyone. My wife is a teacher and is in hospital now with Covid as her appointment was cancelled through no vaccine availability. Plonker

They are politicians - British or Thai - they have the same dna.

So anyone who gets stopped in Bangkok and about to fined for not wearing a mask can now say " Hey I have only been walking for less than 30 minutes" and not be fined?

Sorry Anutin, it is the look of impropriety and the smugness of your comment proves you believe you are better than others.  Try again, and next time gather in two's not in a large group even if you are vaxxed.  Oh I ma sure had that been a group of foreigners they would have been arrested for violating the emergency decree....double standards.

I don't think it ever will.........they are kept well above subsistence levels and kept uneducated politically......tie that in with the unhealthy obsession with royalty and they will accept almost anything.

I agree with you in a lot of ways..makes sense but sometimes you would think...how long can you keep a hungry dog down before its basic instincts of wanting to eat take over..???

Maybe BKK might get its act together..........but once you move away from here it seems to me to be a different world........devoid of any ambition and what there is snuffed out at birth by incompetence, corruption and nepotism.

Yeah, I've never met him and am not in those kinds of circles, but he just seems like someone in over his head/ a businessman who chose to dabble in the wrong business.... as opposed to others in the party who seem more like career cr-----ls.

I don’t usually take on an idiotic argument - but how can you miss the fact that they said they were ‘having snacks and a coffee’  

 

This has nothing to do with walking down the street.

They say "Power Corrupts", and for many it does.  It corrupts morals and the ability to cognitively think responsibly.

[rwill]

Much ado over nothing.  Try going to a restaurant or coffee shop and eating or drinking with your mask on.
