Did you happen to have a glimpse of what they were wearing? Was it something like this.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The rationale behind wearing masks is to stop you spreading infection, rather than being infected. Since every tourist entering the country has already been tested/quarantined etc, maybe multiple times, they will not be an infection source. That could be their attitude.I appreciate they may be infected whilst here, and should wear masks. I wear one to ensure I have a quiet life and don’t get any more disapproving looks than I already suffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmj Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I just arrived a couple days ago and I see more Thais not wearing masks than Foreigners. They always twist the truth here. I guess that’s the norm. Farangs bad. Thai good. ???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patman30 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) how do you know they are newly arrived tourists and not people who have had enough of the pointless draconian measures for the last 2 years...... you got your mask on, what are you worried about? you can always choose to stay home if you are that concerned.

CygnusX1 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I’ll never infringe Thai mask laws because I’m not returning to Thailand until they’re well and truly gone. If that’s never, then so be it. Loathe the things. I’ve had to wear one in Australia for a total of 40 minutes while getting my two AZ shots, that was bad enough.

nickmondo Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 rules do not apply to the arrogant foreigners. not only masks, but also the non smoking rules........which do not apply to them of course. its why i do not socialise with foreigners here......... many a time I have started to enter a restaurant.......spot a (normally fat) foreigner lighting up his fag, so I about turn and leave......... luckily i have many places to go that do not allow the football shirt brigade to do this....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headgame Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Here in Patong when I pass a tourist not wearing a mask, I say as passing “wear a gd mask”. I don’t make eye contact, slow down or look back. Many “I don’t care opinions” here which I personally don’t understand. Such a simple step that might help slow down the increasing infections on the island. Some say, none of my business, but I say - well the mods have shut me down multiple times for my response to those BM’s. Not saying the mods are wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok must be different to Pattaya and surrounding areas, because here I see countless Thais without masks. I agree though anyone breaking the law by not wearing one, farang or Thai, should be booked. I also think that because there are a lot of elderly farang here, a lot of them forget to pull up their mask after exiting their home or car. I've done it countless times, the last being yesterday. It's incredibly embarrassing, because I don't want the locals to think that I'm an uncaring foreigner. I ask my Thai wife to let me know if I forget, but her memory's worse than mine. There's no cure for a failing memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackleton Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I personally would not say anything its up to the Thais it's their country I am sure there are some Thais who would be offended enough to report any foreigner not wearing a mask I wear mine for my protection and others that's all that matters to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiochaser Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 8 minutes ago, toolpush said: Having worn the various types of masks that are typically worn for the wuhan virus, when I first worked with sanding sheetrock (or gypson board), as well as just a cloth mask, I would still have to blow the sanding dust out of my nose. And that dust is much larger than the 5-10 micrometer size respiratory droplets that can potentially carry hundreds to thousands of the virus. I only wear a mask when required to not because I think it will protect me from catching the virus from someone else's sneezing or coughing. What I now wear when working around high dust environments and which I would use to protect me from respiratory droplets is something like this. A P100 mask.
