Hmmmmm....just how more ridiculous can all these Thai fences and hurdles get. There are 2 things that  are infinite, the universe and human stupidity?

On the plus side the "bullet-in-bag" scheme has yet to be reintroduced here.

Regardless, the simple fact every one could conceive it be true makes huge statement just how screwed up this place is.

They always want to be the hub of something.  I think they have the hub of ludicrous all to themselves.

And a well-greased hub it is.  What's in your wallet?  Face mask Czar would like to know.

Is it ok to wear one and carry 30?

Thais and foreigners travelling abroad have been advised not to take more than 30 face masks with them, because they are a controlled product in Thailand and violators can face up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to 100,000 baht on conviction, according to the Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

 

The airport announced on its Facebook page yesterday (Thursday) that for anyone wishing to bring more than 30 face masks with them, but not exceeding 50, a doctor’s letter of certification is required.

 

The airport’s advisory follows an announcement from the Central Committee on Prices of Goods and Services, dated January 25th, which lists face masks, polypropylene (which is used in the production of face masks), chickens and chicken meat, sanitisers containing alcohol and recycling paper as controlled products.

Two days later...

 

Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport has explained that there is actually no limit on the number of face masks passengers may carry on board overseas flights.

 

In a statement posted on its Facebook page on Saturday, the airport explained that a previous advisory, stating that passengers cannot carry more than 30 face masks without a doctor’s certificate, which increases the limit to 50, was incorrect.

 

It said that face masks are not included on the Thai Internal Trade Department’s list of controlled goods. 

The airport apologised for the confusion caused.

No need for any more comments on this one apart  from maybe don't believe everything you read on Facebook?

I took a box of 50 with me when I left Thailand. I guess I narrowly escaped the monkey house.
