thailand49 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Did he check with PM puppet first? He means what he says and did it without his mask now that is leadership! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlhalliday Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 So does this mean anybody who has been fined can now get their money back, and of course an apology ? NO CHANCE !!! Also Anutin should publicly apologise for his " dirty foreigners " remark, as wearing face masks is not and has never been a legal requirement.

sambum Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Flip flopping again from the goon who chastised a farang for not accepting a mask from his unprotected mitt! Everything this guy says seems to invite criticism and maybe that's his plan - nobody can be that stupid - surely? As was stated by Phineas T. Barnum, the 19th century American showman and circus owner, "There's no such thing as bad publicity!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW you're saying it's merely a suggestion but please do what we suggest or the local BiB's will fine you??? Guhdam, I thought they couldn't get any more nonsensicle (read: stupid!). This really is a new level of crazy. I tried about a year ago to get the actual law regarding mask wearing, and of course I couldn't find anything. NOW I KNOW WHY! I never wear them walking around outside and no problems drove past many bib and nothing ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes or No please. I read it as saying there are no laws requiring the wearing of masks, despite the CCSA saying people could be fined for not wearing them.Further that the wearing of masks is beneficial and legislation requiring the wearing of masks could be considered in the future. I think these announcements are probably released in Thailand and some is lost in the translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callmeishmael Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Wearing masks is becoming a social norm. I suspect that soon people who are 'polite' will be those wearing masks, while people who don't wear masks will be considered to be 'rude'. ????

If Govt. really cared about Lives they would ban small mopeds to save 20k young dead every year ..never happening of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that's a valid comparison! Nothing stopping you wearing a mask forever if you like, but many of us are glad we're no longer being forced to. Unfortunately most schools are still mandating it, but I don't know for how much longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks worn when sick in public to protect others or protect self from others or from air pollution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 23 hours ago, brewsterbudgen said: Really? I thought it was mandatory? 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. And as usual the man caused confusion. AT his level one would expect he makes statements that err towards safety and not cause doubts about what rules are in place. Perhaps he should have also added, 'it's possible that in a future situation of massive spread of the virus masks will be mandatory'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingFat Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I'll print out this article and His Highness Anutin's proclamation about masks not being legally obligated, and maybe I'll get a discount on the bribe, errr, umm "fine" I need to pay the BIB.
