webfact 79,306 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Samut Sakhon: Go out without a mask and face 20,000 baht fine Picture: Sanook The governor of Samut Sakhon province has ramped up regulations to contain the spread of Covid-19 in the province. Samut Sakhon is a large province on the coast to the south west of Bangkok between the capital and Hua Hin. Many people would normally traverse the province to travel north and south. Sanook reported that there has been a rapid rise in coronavirus cases there prompting new rules. Governor Weerasak Wijitsaengsri announced that from today everyone outside must wear a surgical or cloth mask until April 30th at least. Powers under 2005 regulations are being invoked. People will face fines of 20,000 baht for violating the order. All people in the service industry must especially make sure they are wearing masks and businesses or organizations have the right to refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask. In addition all businesses must observe stringent social distancing rules for employees and customers.

christophe75 932 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Great news, mister Weerasak Wijitsaengsri. But where can we buy/procure those masks ? Should we call the prime minister ? Or the office of a deputy minister... where some people seem to have a little business on the side ? Thank you to enlight us. We need your wisdom. We need your leadership.

Popular Post Mak25 222 Posted April 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Common guys, be a little creative. A scarf around the face will do. But I am still wondering why people walking alone on the street far away from anybody else are wearing masks (apart from this province). Do they think they are protected from all evil by wearing it? Or do they think they protect others? There is no one around... Edited April 3, 2020 by Mak25 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tayaout 4,109 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 At least if you don't believe mask work for their intended use they do work at potentially saving 20,000 baht fine! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
geoff65 166 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Unless they get educated on how to use and dispose of these mask correctly all their going to do is spread the virus and quicker, and i wonder how many of them are washing reusable mask every time they go out and how many use new disposable ones every time they leave the house.

Sujo 17,014 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Forget the masks. Why are people still going to restaurants. Close them. Link to post Share on other sites
Number 6 2,559 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Cloth masks so unsanitary especially if you actually had the virus. Funny...all the fussing about masks when proper surgical or M94-5 masks nowhere to be found. Funnier still the conspiracy by government crony to sell millions of masks abroad to Communist China. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
