JonnyF Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I wonder if they will sell ATK's at the park's entrance? Could be a good money spinner. 70 Baht for Thai's (or Asian foreigners that look a bit Thai), 700 Baht for white foreigners. If anyone complains, just tell them they aren't overcharging white foreigners. Thai's (or Thai looking Asians) are simply getting a 90% discount ????. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koratkarlos Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 For me the spread of COVID at outside national parks was never an issue. So I think these rules are just not necessary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Likelihood.'..... has that happened to a single person yet or are we scare mongering? Have they got military or police types on hand already, cuffs and Hazmat suits?

poppysdad Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 2 weeks ago we visited 3 national parks in one day. I think all related as only paid in the first and then just handed the tickets over at the next 2, as per usual it was 40 baht for my lady, 30 baht for the car and 200 baht for me. Anyway, I wind down the car window at all the entrance kiosks with no face mask at all 3 and not a single word of complaint from anyone. At one my Thai lady had to get out of the car and register and take a temperature check but no request for me to do the same nor were we asked to take any other sort of test although signs above the kiosks in both Thai and English said we should. On walking around inside the parks I was always the only falang and all were quite busy and I would say that 75%+ of all the visitors were maskless including 3 monks on a sightseeing trip and enjoying their day out. And I for one who does have breathing difficulties with wearing one was totally relieved at being able to walk around without one and actually enjoy myself.

daveAustin Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Don’t do this, don’t do that. Do this, do that. Fill out this form, fill out that. Test this, test that. Bring this, bring that. Don’t use this sunblock, use that. etc etc etc Strike a light, what ever happened to good old laidback Thailand? Rhetorical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayinThailand2much Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) I don't think that 'health' guidelines are the first thing on most foreign visitors' (presumably foreigners, as it is in English) minds when visiting the national parks...

I stopped going to them when the parks dept started charging several times the Thai price for the privileged of paying and treating my Thai nieces and nephews to a day out. I certainly didn't begrudge paying for them. It was always a pleasure for me to take the kids on trips, but it's the principle of the thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wish. It's 5x-10x (depending on a park) for stupid farangs. You farang, have too much money, bend over... Wai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
