AhFarangJa Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 In the first paragraph he says the following......... 15 hours ago, snoop1130 said: Thailand’s Public Health Minister confirmed that there are no laws forcing people to wear face masks Then farther in he says...................... 15 hours ago, snoop1130 said: He is concerned, however, about some international tourists who do not wear face masks while in Thailand and stated that the ministry will discuss the problem with the CCSA. He understands that the practice may not be used in other countries, but he encourages them to comply with the country’s public health regulations. So his xenophobia is plain to see again, it is the dirty Farang spreading germs. Also, what is the last sentence about? are public health regulations not mandatory?, and if so according to the first paragraph there is nothing in the health regulations to enforce mask wearing.

swm59nj Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I was under the impression that people had to wear masks or would be fined. This is information I saw from previous news stories. Maybe I misunderstood. And it meant if a foreigner does not wear a mask they would be fined. As for concern about foreigners not wearing masks. The concern should involve everyone. Not just foreigners. But I actually do see a lot of foreigners not wearing masks also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Anutin is one of the leaders of this clown show. How is a unified and intelligent message expected from a clown? And what he is really saying, is that foreigners do not buy into the massive indoctrination and fear that they have imposed upon their citizens here. Wearing masks outdoors, unless on a crowded sidewalk, is nearly useless. Being asked to wear masks in your car or on your motorbike borders on insane. Same applies to bicycling and jogging. Indoors is a bit different. But, how does wearing a mask into a restaurant, then taking it off to eat prevent anything? The policy here is so garbled and so confused and incoherent. Thank Anutin for that. More demonstration of his lack of leadership ability. And this goon wants to be PM? WOE is Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 All part of a cunning plan. Anutin says you don't need to wear a mask and then you get hit with a 20,000 baht fine when they catch you without one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news if it's no longer the case, although I suspect many people will continue to wear them and they'll still be required in schools. Also you'll definitely get the stink eye and maybe worse.

Enzian Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Just a reminder that there is no law in this country, just what any bureaucrat or LE person says at any given time. My approach is to "do in Rome as the Romans do", that is, this a conformist asian country and I will do my part to prevent as much as possible a negative attitude toward foreigners by showing respect and keeping my mask up when around people.

paul1804 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It would be beneficial to all if the authorities could make up their minds if it is Thai law to wear a face mask or not. You have individual provinces threatening fines for not wearing a mask and the DPM stating is not Thai law. So who has the authority, the governors of the provinces or the DPM??? Clarification would clear the normal confusion regarding Thai laws!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
