snoop1130 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Airport trains make masks available By THE NATION Protective facemasks are on sale at all three Airport Rail Link stations to reduce Covid-19 risk on the trains. Suthep Phanpheng, State Railway of Thailand managing director for electrified trains, said on Wednesday (March 25) that the masks being sold at Phayathai, Makkasan and Lat Krabang stations were produced by prison inmates for the Department of Corrections and afford protection against both Covid-19 and airborne PM2.5 particulate matter. Their quality has been certified by the Department of Medical Sciences, he said. The masks are sold daily from 7.30-9.30am and 4.30-7.30pm, limited to one per buyer. “We’re asking all passengers to wear a mask in accord with Transport Ministry policy on Covid-19 prevention,” Suthep said. Department of Rail Transport director-general Sorapong Paitoonphong signed an order on Tuesday requiring all passengers to wear a mask aboard trains and in the stations of State Railways of Thailand, the Airport Rail Link, Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand, BTS and Bangkok Expressway and Metro.

DrTuner Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I think the seller can comfortably snooze as there will be near zero traffic now that they banned all foreigners from entering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many, airport link is just a skytrain. Usually most people get off by Lat Krabang station or even Ramkhamhaeng station. Those going to airport may be 10% of the passengers, most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Makro you could buy 4 for 10 baht but needed a passport for that...not sure if that's also today and there were ultra long queue's for them.
