Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 Thai regulations - mask worn outside at all times., Realistically - many wearing a mask on a motorbike. Many not wearing their mask on a beach. All wearing a mask in a 7-11 or supermarket etc… or while walking into a restaurant. Some areas more relaxed than others. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KarenBravo Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Just wear the mask everywhere that isn't your accommodation. Masks are taken off if you have to eat, or drink. Enforced? By the general public and they WILL use violence and you won't get any sympathy from the police (or, from anyone else, for that matter).

I flew in two days ago on a Japanese airline, stopped in Tokyo. Only time I wore a mask on the flight was when I moved about the plane. All the flight attendants were wonderful, didn't say a thing. At Haneda, I did not wear a mask at all. Police walked by and nodded hello and smiled. But back in LA the day prior to departure, a lot of people were double-masked, even when standing alone in the park on a windy day..... 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) there is no requirement to wear on motorcycle. It can be dangerous. There was at least one fatal case, when at high speed mask moved and covered eyes. But you can get tightly fitting antipollution active carbon mask, as cyclists do - think of dust pollution during dry and small particles matter during burning seasons Edited October 17, 2021 by internationalism 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post London Lowf Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 I'm with KB on this - 100% of locals wear a mask everywhere, even when riding - it was the first thing I noticed on the taxi ride from the airport. There are a few tourists who ignore the regulations, and they will certainly get put straight the first time they walk into a 7. Regarding the smack in the mouth - there were a couple of guys staying in my hotel, the typical Arab-looking kind that ride TMax's, and they really deserve one. I'm a bit old to act the vigilante, but hopefully one day soon..... 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sniggie Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 I don't really understand what the problem is here. I was stuck in the UK for a year until April and complied with all the mask requirements there. Now I am back in Thailand I have a box of masks in the car and we all wear masks whenever we leave the car. It's not a massive imposition, is it? Then we don't have to worry what others do. What amazed me this year is how quickly the majority of the UK populace dispensed with their masks as soon as they were no longer mandatory. if I was still there I'd be wearing a mask in public places. Apparently there are problems getting passengers to wear masks on public transport <deleted>. I do hope that the more relaxed environment in the UK does not result in problems this winter. 7 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, you would be told to mask up by the airline personnel. If you didn't, there would be a nice reception committee present when you landed. I just don't get these ant-maskers / anti-vaxers. Selfish is an understatement. They would rather potentially kill you than follow the approved medical practices prescribed by medical experts.. They all seem to think that they know better than these experts. 7 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it's selfish, self-centred and wrong. At least it's only hypothetical as the airlines insists on mask wearing. You do know that not all people here are vaccinated right? So for these people my original statement stands. They allow un-vaccinated people on airplanes these days ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much true - but even if you are vaxxed you can spread it to someone else... that is why it is generally considered polite to wear the mask... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
