Popular Post colinneil Posted April 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2020 MEANWHILE, some of those supposedly running the country are making millions out of selling/ exporting masks. Yet the police can find time/ waste time arresting this poor woman over a handful of masks, pathetic. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sapson Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Was offered the very same style box of 50 for 875 baht at my regular high street pharmacy yesterday, or price for a few was 20 baht each which I accepted as most pharmacies nearby dont have any, let alone at the correct price.

a3tsw Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 They are 25 Baht each in Supercheap in Chalong. I just bought one there today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susco Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 That is dirt cheap. I was asked 99 Baht for a similar mask at the below pharmacy at Rompo about 15 km outside Pattaya, and it wasn't farang price, since the price was written on the box. Later I got one for FREE from the lady selling opticals outside the local post office. I think government advice price is 2 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the 140,000-baht fine they've declared? I feel sorry for her, probably trying to make a few hundred baht from this. How many members here regularly spend more than that on a night out drinking? Edited April 4, 2020 by Iron Tongue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was buying a pack of masks on behalf of someone in Vietnam, 600bt for 5 (370thb on lazada). The cloth ones from the same shop were 40bt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
