webfact Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Phuket officials ramp up campaign for ’new normal’ beach rules, face masks required By Khunanya Wanchanwet Signs of Mayor Chalermluck wearing a mask have been posted along Patong Beach. Photo Patong Municipality PHUKET: Officials and Tourist Police are ramping up their campaign to ensure that people at Phuket beaches, especially at Patong, observe the ‘new normal’ rules, including the requirement to wear a face mask. “For now, Patong Municipality has already allowed people to relax and do activities on the beach, but we found some people ignoring the requirement to wear face masks,” Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup told The Phuket News’ Thai-language sister newspaper Khao Phuket. “We have already ordered lifeguards and municipal officers to remind them,” she said.

It gives the impression it's really a suggestion. Nothing about 'You must wear a mask' or stating the regulation/decree. The authorities don't really seem to be aware how to get their message across.

It's the most unhealthy thing. Masks should be worn in closed spaces, totally useless and dangerous outside. Better stay in pools where you can stay without. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's No law in Thailand that one has to wear a mask outside their home , only on request going into shops if Required. All they can do is Refuse one to into a shop or go on a beach.

steelepulse Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Are there any other countries that have had no positive covid cases for 31 days requiring face masks at beaches where the uv rays kill any hiding covid that hasn't been discovered? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dionigi Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 This phrase "new normal" really gets up my nose. There is nothing normal about this flu except it will disappear just like every other flu we have had. Perhaps I should be following the "new normal" imposed by Spanish flu or sars? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Well I thought I would have to go swimming with the mask on. Guess they only want the mask on while I am at the beach on the sand area.

I saw a figure higher than that for not wearing a mask published for Hua Hin. The below was put out a few months back but never read anything about rescinding mask wearing yet.. https://www.thailandnews.co/2020/04/covid-19-prachuap-khiri-khan-closes-hotels-orders-all-residents-to-wear-masks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
