Masks - Why still now?
So since you say "still" I think you correctly attribute some mask wearing to COVID precautions. But before COVID Thai people would wear masks if they had a cold to prevent giving it to others. I notice a high proportion of taxi drivers seem to wear masks, I guess in the confined space of a taxi and being exposed to a lot of people each day it makes sense. -

Thailand's Sugar Tax Spurs Sweeter Beverage Reformulations
Being an insulin type 2 diabetic, this is welcome news but it is a matter of personal choice. For reference (Google) - Here's a more detailed look at the pros and cons of each: Sugar: Pros: Provides energy, can be found in natural foods (fruits, vegetables, milk, etc.), and is a natural part of the human diet. Cons: Excessive sugar intake can lead to weight gain, increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and contribute to other health issues. Artificial Sweeteners: Pros: Offer sweetness without the calories, may be helpful for weight management in the short term, and can be an alternative for individuals with diabetes. Cons: Some research links artificial sweeteners to potential health concerns like cardiovascular disease, metabolic problems, and gut microbiome disruptions. One study found that erythritol, a common sugar alcohol, increased platelet stickiness, potentially increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Here in Siem Reap, our supermarkets offer a vast range of sugar free non-alcoholic drinks, much more so than Thai supermarkets. My drinks chill cabinet is full of them - not one sugar drink! I have been consuming them for just over 30 years and at age 81 I have no ill effects from them, having regular tests at my doctor's clinic. No further comment from me. -

Masks - Why still now?
During COVID many shops set it up so that customers need not enter the store and while most have stopped this, some have made it permanent, probably because the staff find it easier not to have close dealings with customers. Not a COVID issue, just something they have found they can get away with doing.
