Masked Crusader! Foreign woman praised for handing out face masks to Thais!

 

Picture Spring News

 

Thai social media was full of praise for a western woman who was featured on a Facebook post handing out face masks. 

 

Poster Prachaya Opor Chitrabeab thought the woman and her partner might be lost in the Chatuchak area after she saw them get on and off the buses three or four times. 

 

No! They were handing out free masks to the drivers and conductresses on the buses. 

 

Many people in the Thai capital Bangkok are wearing masks to guard against the recent smog and the coronavirus, notes Thaivisa.

Patronizing headline.....again! ????

[kingofthemountain]

In a normal world\country it should be the government job

to give protection equipment to the citizens in case of major health public problem.

 

What about to ask to the 1% of the richest (Who are the ones having the most financial 

benefits from the china tourists invasion in the last years) to use a very little part of their money

to buy face mask for Thai people? ????

 

I know, i am a dreamer

Ah, lost opportunity. What is the going price for a genuine 3M N95 mask these days? 1k a pop?

Public price for this one is 17 bahts

You can also have this one. more elaborate but less confortable

(The 2 elastic bands are imo too short and thin for a ''normal'' westerner head size)

for 99 bahts the 2 pieces

These are not N95. They might help but are less effective.

"Out of stock" in most places. Prices are going to go up for what stock remains.

Good one her and her partner, I like her mask, very beaky, also noting the glasses to stop the virus from entering through the eyes.

The usual predictable work permit troll posts removed also replies

 

For goodness sake guys report these same predictable trolls and let us give them a holiday.

Where to find bigger amount of surgical masks (box of 20 or 50) now?

 

They seem to sold out or selling at tenfold of the regular price now.

As usual everything ass about face in Thailand where the locals should be handing out masks to Foreign Tourists !

[Cake Monster]

This lady was obviously trying to send a message.

Something along the lines of " BMA, why have you not even considered protecting your citizens / workers from a potentially lethal Virus ? "

Also known in pre corona hysteria panic era as sunglasses. Not uncommon.

No, in a "normal world/country they would not be burning the fields and exposing their citizenry to a toxic living environment so, there would be no need to provide masks! ????????????

[Somtamnication]

What is she really hiding behind that mask?
