For Thais the mask is like wearing panties or bra...

Spoke to a friend who is a surgical nurse in the Hua Hin area. She said they barely see any covid cases anymore. Time to let it go.

Must be a regional thing.....mask wearing is becoming minimal in Pattaya supermarkets. Probably more needed outside!

Now. Just don't wear it. There's no need or benefit to- for the vast majority the of people, in the vast majority of situations. 

 

Every person who makes that choice moves the country back towards normality quicker.

Considering pollution levels of late, outdoor use may be an idea. Could change to the pollution type with a breath out valve.

Sure, only in certain places though,  if the PM is bad. 

 

Not like the absurdity of mass surgical / cloth mask wearing that's still occurring in many parts of Thailand ( for no good reason) , and now, not occurring almost anywhere else in the world. 

 

Like you say -some regions are unmasking faster than others, but it can't come soon enough.

Well pollution levels are high in a lot of Thailand at the moment..... Since people rarely walk around with a meter of their own perhaps precautionary wearing required.

I do not see this ' surgical / cloth mask wearing that's still occurring in many parts of Thailand ( for no good reason) ,' you are on about.  Calm down and let people make up their own minds. They will quit when ready... your thoughts on the matter do not concern them, nor even seem rational ATM. Not exactly the country's biggest problem... that might be pollution, we need more masks!
