Photo: Jukka (CC BY 2.0) TNR Staff DESPITE the government having announced on Friday that people may now take off their face masks, many tourist business operators and workers in Krabi province are still worried about catching Covid-19 because there are people doing so everyday and the virus is also mutating, TV Channel 7 said yesterday (June 27). In lifting the face mask mandate the government said those who are vulnerable and infected should continue wearing them and while it is now up to the rest of the general public whether they do so or not, they were told these masks are essential in crowded or poorly ventilated places. Reporters from this TV channel visited some popular tourist spots in this southern province and saw that some foreign tourists had already started taking off their face masks but Thai tourists were still wearing them.

PJPom Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) I live in Ao nang and as I am an older man who wishes to get older I continue to wear my mask in shops and confined areas. I don’t comment to others who don’t as it would only cause friction, an example was a European tourist in Lotus’s last week who was offered a mask by a staff member who was told to F### Off by said tourist. The quality tourists are back …… Edited June 28, 2022 by PJPom Correction 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 473geo Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2022 Ok here is the answer to the mask debate, a Thai worker testing positive for covid can be laid off work for 2 weeks no pay, as has happened to both my brother and sister in law, with a combined loss of earnings around 20k Not quite the same for a tourist or retired foreigners 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 If wearing a mask makes you feel safe then wear one. Buy if you really don't wanna catch covid then you need to protect your eyes as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
