I Can’t Believe Thailand Is STILL Obsessed With Masks

Featured Replies

Why are some people so upset that people who work with the public wear masks?  They probably want to avoid catching a nasty bug from someone.  How many of them have sick leave and can afford to miss work?

  • Another whining exaggerating clueless anti masker. I was hoping they had sort of disappeared.   Thais wear masks for a number of reasons . They prefer to keep the  sun off their faces,

    This is puzzling. School run this morning, Sattahip, not a single parent or child wearing a mask. Shopping in Big C this evening, not a single customer or member of staff wearing a mask as far as

And as another member so excellently put it "Masks are cringeworthy. It basically says "I am opting out of normal society because I am a very precious flower and more valuable than you filthy germ carrying parasites" - bunch of wet wipes in this country

This whole 11-page rant is based upon a lie.

How on earth are people STILL wearing masks everywhere? And I mean everywhere. Out in the open sun, alone on motorbikes, in empty corridors, walking on the beach – you name it. The most illogical, pointless situations imaginable… yet the masks are still glued on like some national uniform.

A few people are wearing masks,for various reasons, known only to themselves, but those of us who live here (either in Bangkok or the provinces) know that the OP is absolute nonsense.

They are everywhere - you might find some tourist heavy areas where numbers are low, but there will always at least 1 moron stinking out the atmosphere with their muzzle

This should be the anthem for the covid pussies who forever want to live like some disobedient mut - eyes without a face, they've got no human grace

A little less than it takes for a decrepit old sexpat like you to walk up the stairs - I could leave tomorrow and not come back for ten years and all the thick and cowardly Thais will be still be muzzling up like the weak ass slaves they are 


You have issues. Many issues. Anger issues, daddy issues, rejection issues, insecurity, possible bigotry or racism issues - the hatred has to come from somewhere, and it's not from an insignificant number of people courteously wearing masks that's for sure. 

I would say I hope you get the help you need, but I don't. I hope you just go back to your own country, stew in your hate, and continue to live a miserable life - you deserve it. 

When's your flight? Maybe we can all come to the airport and wave you off - fully masked up of course.

How does wearing a mask stink out the atmosphere?

What are you views on vaccinations?

I can go wherever I want, freedom to work remotely and earn, unlike you who will probably stay in BKK for the rest of his life surrounded by cowards in face masks

No issues with vaccinations, I took them because I just wanted the ordeal to be over, although I think history already does not look kindly on how we treated those who justifiably had concerns about the rapid development of them. And the fact I need to explain why being surrounded by face masks is not a pleasant atmosphere just shows that sexpats are as brainwashed and stupid as the local dum dums. Masks are for the mentally ill and cowards - perfect tools to control for the despots who run tinpot dictatorships like Thailand

And the truly hateful ones are the masked tossers who scoled anyone who didn't inject themselves or participate in their deranged obsession with muzzles - those who continue to wear muzzles are complicit in the unnecessary perpetuation of a symbolism that reminds everyone around them of the unfathomably moronic medical tyranny we were all subjected to.

Wow, you have it bad. Seek help.

You're incapable of engaging your brain critically so just resort to some woeful attempt at armchair psychology - you are brainwashed like many locals pal

So do you - I just give it back. If you think being surrounded by covid obsessed freaks in muzzles as we approach 2026 all while the ROW moved on ages ago is indicative of a psychologically healthy society then that tells me everything I need to know about your intellect and general standards in life.

You know nothing, particularly about standards or intellect. Just regurgitating your anti social nonsense.

You are bored and the only perceived human interaction you have is on here.

Sad really.
