SkyFax Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Thai health minister ‘sorry’ for saying ‘f*cking farangs’ without masks should be kicked out Thailand’s top health official apologized for using a vulgarity to disparage white tourists Friday morning and demand they should be kicked out of the country. Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on Friday afternoon apologized for his enraged comments during a photo op this morning at which he was handing out face masks and noticed some foreigners refusing them. https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/kick-fcking-farangs-out-of-thailand-for-not-wearing-masks-health-minister/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post scorecard Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 1 hour ago, rkidlad said: So much wrong with what just came out of this little man's mouth. That was extremely racist and xenophobic. Very ugly to see a person of his stature in the government talking like this. I'm guessing some 'white people' said no when he offered them a mask. I'm guessing they may have refused to be in a picture. He's obviously lost face and just let words come out of his mouth in a fit of anger. He asked Thai people to help kick out foreigners who don't wear masks. Let that sink in. A man who said this virus is like a common cold, who said stopping people coming in from mainland China won't make a difference, a man who's been seen in pictures with people who were ill not wearing a mask - has the audacity to tell people to help roundup people who don't accept his crappy masks and kick them out. This man is one of the top men helping run this country. God help Thailand. On top of all of these comments, Thailand desperately needs to encourage western tourists back so this clown makes insulting comments about westerners. Wonder what his IQ is? 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post holy cow cm Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 This guy has just crossed way over the xenophobic hate line and we foreigners will remember this tirade for a long long time. He is the ignorant one who did not immediately stop fights going to and from China endangering everyone in Thailand. And how on earth is their guy qualified to be the Health Minister? I am really appalled at this joke of a person. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Well this is the icing on the cake for me. Me and a group of friends were planning on a trip to Thailand some time this year having visited for the last 20 years however we won't be coming back if this is how they see us Europeans. I say we all boycott Thailand for good. It is clear that Thailand do not welcome Europeans anymore - we are seen as 4th class behind Chinese, Asians and even Indians.

It can take up to 2 weeks to show any symptoms. And you write that you just came back from Central Festival without a mask and are still alive. I am afraid the health Minister is correct,.. And what about the masks that have soldiers’ breath and grubby mitts all over them. You think they're safe? Yourself and Anutin clearly are experts on how masks and viruses work.

Popular Post webfact Posted February 7, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 Anutin steamed as farang turn down facemasks By The Nation Anutin Charnvirakul Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul got a little miffed at Western tourists this week when several rebuffed the protective facemasks that he was personally distributing on a Bangkok street. Anutin said the incautious farang should be reported to their embassies and expelled from Thailand. Asian tourists and especially Chinese were meanwhile happily accepting the masks, he said. The Chinese are perhaps in a mood to be grateful after the government decided to keep granting them visas on arrival. It had been suggested the privilege be withheld amid the coronavirus scare, but the value of Sino-Thai relations prevailed. At the same time, Anutin and other officials have been strongly criticised by fellow Thais online for the government’s initially slow and ineffective response to the virus outbreak. Anutin later apologised on Facebook for his comment, insisting the government is doing its best to tackle the situation and deserved respect for trying – not the kind of rejection he experienced.

Popular Post harada Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 I agree get rid of the rest of those pesky farangs and promote Thailand on a ghost town theme, perhaps a bit of tumbleweed rolling down the street would be a good touch. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ireland32 Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 53 minutes ago, Logosone said: By now everyone should have understood that wearing face masks will NOT stop the coronavirus. The virus is airborne. It will enter trough your eyes. If it does not it will attach to the outside of your face maks. If you take your facemask back to your house, and got in contact with the virus before that, the virus will survive for at least 4 days on the outside of your mask. If you touch the outside of the mask with your finger and then your face you will die from coronavirus. The virus also survives for 4 days on any plastic, metal, wood and other surfaces, so be sure to be wearing gloves as well when you wear that chic face mask. Just some friendly advice from a stupid Farang. 12 hours on metal surfaces , 6 hours in fabric like plane seats 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dyertribe Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 So for me the interesting take on this is that Farang and the tone it was delivered in is "using a derogatory Thai tone when describing Europeans" ... Here we are embracing it because the Thais have sold us a story that it is just a normal general use for european people ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the meantime everyone should have understood that in respect of the Corona virus we are not talking about a cold or a runny nose. We need to stop it as soon as possible and not lean back and watch what will happen. I see the proactive stance of the Thai government as a positive approach. Of course it is free to you to say "Don't worry". Let it be your personal experience and don't blame others. ...okay...it's not satire! "Who is the WHO?"
