Australia has the same. Checkout the TGA which requires a Permit from them to Import the Masks

 into Australia. That goes for anything to do with Covid too, including the Hand Sanitisers, Gloves etc.

It's all about threats of fines and imprisonment in Thailand. A great place for a vacation

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.

And under the tables in Wetherspoons, yes I have spent some time on the floor there. I blame the smoking ban!

I wonder which genius thought this up. Everything else in the country under control? Time to get a handle on the too many face masks issue. The country is in good hands, no doubt about that.

Masks  are much cheaper to buy here in Thailand but anyway the ruling is about taking Masks 'out of' Thailand not about bringing  them in.

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? 

The story is about taking masks out of Thailand.

Actually comparing prices to my home country (Merica), they're much cheaper here.

I'm not saying I agree with this idiotic rule, it's hard to understand the reasoning.

The reasoning is: There's a Thai producer of face masks that has some leverage (read $$$) over this puppet government! The bottom line is: TIT (This is Thailand)!

'Thai' means free. Say what you want and end in the slammer, don't and end up in a quagmire anyway. So or so. Farang go home but leave your money.

5 years prison for taking extra masks out of the country.  What retard in the Gov't dreamt up this 'fair and balanced' deterrent and consequence.  Why are minor transgressions always threaten with prison time?  One would think the prisons are overflowing.... wait....,they are.  Surprise surprise.
