Iamfalang Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 1. Picture focuses on the falang not wearing a mask.... negative 2. 10,000 people...... negative 3. party during COVID in Thailand.... negative we wonder why Thais are afraid of dirty falang, why we become dirty falang, and once again are labeled as not responsible and will be the reason for the COVID spike coming next. If this picture is old, then the plan is to be negative to the falang. why????????? if falang post picture of Thais, falang gets sued for defamation falang no win......no win....only lose 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This story is about people attended a full moon party and its nothing to do with where those people came from . I do think that you are unnecessarily playing the race card 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - the parties have been happening for a while. Just no big song and dance about them. This was the first 'official' one. 3 hours ago, rwill said: That must be a pre-covid photo. Not one person with a face mask. Nope. As at15 mentioned, on KPN most foreigners have been maskless for a while. Never masks at the previous FMP's. Probably why there is an increase in positive Covid cases after the FMP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most on Koh Samui are still wearing masks. Everyone where I live and work are. Also true in all shops, offices etc etc. The maskless ones are mostly foreign tourists but they also mask up when going into shops. The bit that people are missing is the fact that many people in SE Asia were wearing masks before Covid. Pollution and traffic fumes being the main reason. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't ring a bell for me. Either way, I distinctly remember reading an article on Thai Visa about how an era came to an end and by bye for good to the full moon party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but either you are not on the island, don't leave the hills or live in a bar and never leave it. Well over 75% of the people still wear masks unless they are in a Restaurant or Bar. The ones who don't seem to be tourists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're long past the days of that farang refusing Anutin's mask. We now know they work.
