Isaan sailor Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Let’s see, I can get 29 masks in my carry on…and maybe 10 more from a duty-free shop…and stuff 10-20 more in a secret compartment in my checked roller suitcase. I wonder if they they have mask sensors at the airport security, or perhaps dogs with mask-sniff training… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimmerbob Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Who the hell thinks up these stupid ideas? If I were a tourist, I'd want to bring at least enough to cover one each day for each of my family........... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got shops here..... likely cheaper than back home too. Lots of special offers on them in places like Fascino.... they likely overstocked.

Good riddance Thailand you do not deserve any tourists. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arick Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Don't worry just stick to driving 180km/hr with no tax or insurance be sure to be well intoxicated and he sure to kill at least two people and walk away free. But never take a recycled paper on an aircraft or nik a buffaloo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andycoops Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Unbelievable. So now you will have your baggage searched for masks that help stop the spread of a world wide virus. As a controlled product does one also have to declare at customs, country gets more ridiculous almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Another example of the goon squad absolutely refusing to focus on stuff that matter and is of consequence. This kind of nonsensical, churlish policy is a hallmark of the Prayuth gang. His nickname should be Mr. Unproductive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEE TEE Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Don't bring them just a couple for the flight . then buy 1000s here as they are so cheap and take them back to make a little profit . or just use ladies sanitary towels they make good face masks >>>>>> wait for it? no laws on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack61 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I think there has been some confusion about this article because of the poor use of English language. In particular the use of the verbs bring and take. Bring suggests they are talking about arriving in Thailand with the masks whereas the article, if I’m not wrong, is talking about TAKING masks when you LEAVE. Poor reporting.

talahtnut Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Ideas for the government: 1. You cannot bring more than 1 sock and 1 shoe into Thailand. 2. Only glasses with one lens allowed into Thailand. 3. You are only allowed to exit Thailand if you have 50p or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 7 hours ago, BKKTRAVELER said: Why would it be a problem to bring in more masks for tourists even if there is no shortage here in the first place? He should say: "we have a lot of masks here and we want you to buy them from us". ???? Land The restriction was to be taking them out of Thailand (there was a severe shortage here when Covid first started - masks were being laundered and resold as you may recall).

Here in Denmark i can buy 100 CE labeled surgical masks for 100 Dkr which is 500 baht. So 5 baht pr mask. Are they really that much cheaper in Thailand, so people would speculate in filling their luggage with masks and sell in Europe?

Today a different message per Richard Barrow translation: Quote The admin of the Suvarnabhumi Airport Facebook Page has sincerely apologized for causing confusion and misunderstanding regarding the prohibition of taking masks out of Thailand. The director of the airport also added that they will not be searching luggage to count masks.
