What too many tourists don't understand, when on holiday, is that what you do at home, is irrelevant elsewhere. Too bad the local moto-mafia wasn't sitting out front.

Yes...Mainly that about not having enough for frontliners I see the same in places like Belgium where the locals are just trying to stay home & do not use masks because they feel it is more needed by hospital workers etc Edited April 8, 2020 by meechai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neeranam Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Wait a minute - there is some wrong translation here. I've just read the original article and it doesn't say "despicable foreigners" ANYWHERE. The headline says "resentful foreigners". Could it be foreigners that are actually trying to stir things up here to encourage Thai bashing? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRS1301 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 1 hour ago, ThreeEyedRaven said: Here we go again. No mention of where these people were from, just the generic foreigner term used, so could have been from Cambodia or anywhere. Spitting on the floor at this time is pretty dumb, but the reaction seems to be excessive. There seems to be the mistaken belief that masks will save them all, and those without are deliberately trying to infect everyone else. And every excuse to have a dig at foreigners has no shortage of Thais, many of whom also spit on the floor, ready to unload their hatred. It is disgusting behaviour under any circumstances, but common in too many countries. I am old enough to recall signs on foothpaths, walls and on public transport stating "Expectoring is Forbidden" . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logosone Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Just now, Neeranam said: Is wearing a face mask a rule? Not it's not. I went into a shop close to where I live, no mask, the saleswoman, young girl, was also not wearing a mask. Was served with no issues. There is no law in Thailand mandating wearing a mask. Only some shops and some areas have made it a rule, purely on their own misunderstanding of medicine. There should be a boycott of all stores who refuse to serve anyone. I would certainly not spend my money in some place where they refuse service for any reason. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
