IamNoone88 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It is this type of regulation that gives Thailand a poor image. A bit like banning chewing gum in Singapore. There may be good reasons for it (in Singapore's case there were - just look at a sidewalk in the UK or US and all the millions of old gum stuck to the ground) but the reasons rarely get public attention. In this case ... the good reason is escaping me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Long and Prosper Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I believe this story was pulled yesterday when the original notice was found at Swampy airport dated 2020. You can now bring in or take out 30 face masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKr Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 17 hours ago, Crossy said: I will say that we've not actually bought any masks for x years, well ever to be honest. The local village office just keep delivering them for free, along with gallons of hand sanitiser (and rice + other "covid supplies"). OK the rate of supply has diminished recently but we are likely good for 2022. Our village head is a good man and spends his budget wisely, hence the solar street lighting (zero running costs) and some CCTV. I'm not going to begrudge the fee of 300 Baht a year for garbage collection (twice a week) and other village fees. we don't get free face masks, but instead a free wake-up call at 6:30 on non-working days ???????? ????

It is getting more and more ridiculous and absurd. 50 facemasks? We are talking about 8 euro!!! A fine of 100.000 baht? Who came up with this insanity?

Sydebolle Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Who is telling those pr1cks in the government, that the longer the more countries are abolishing masks all together? Or is it a very smart way of artificially shortening supplies (psychologically) so everybody leaving Thailand takes 30 masks since a Somchai-in-Chief has his little fatty fingers in yet another government-controlled till? Bargain-hunters, beware, make sure that you get your maximum allowed quota of masks prior to arriving at the airport as k1ngpower is overcharging that particular commodity as well!

JustAnotherHun Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 AoT say, the limitation was a "misunderstanding". The 30-masks-rule was invented in 2020 but reached AoT last month :-))) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Well, I'd better be hiding from the police next time I enter Thailand.

rudi49jr Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 There’s not a lot anymore that amazes me about Thailand, but this did. Does the junta have the mask market cornered or something, that you can’t bring in more than 30? Is is eating into their profits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
