Popular Post Captain_Bob Posted April 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2021 Mandatory masking and social distancing and business lock downs were an emergency first-response, but that was last year. This "government" needs to wake up and see that now is the time for nation-wide vaccinations. Make it free or low subsidized cost Pfizer/Moderna/Johnson, not that Sinovac Sputnik <deleted>. Do it NOW or else you can expect another year of dead tourism . 12 2 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KannikaP Posted April 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2021 The original idea of masks was to stop your Covid laden spittle from reaching someone else, directly in front of you and less than 2 metres away. That was the idea of social distancing. And now I could be fined up to Bht 20,000 for not wearing 'when leaving my home', someone there or not. Does it mean I MUST wear one while driving my car or motorbike? Is there a number where I can report any non-maskers, and get a % of the fine.

Do it NOW or else you can expect another year of dead tourism . As I have been led to believe, vaccination only minimises the effects of the virus on that person. They can still be contagous so should still wear a mask if talking directly to someone less than 2 metres from them. 6 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HOAX Posted April 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2021 I read somewhere (think it was Thaiger) that provinces not listed can hand out fines upto 4,000 baht. When they say "when you leave home", does that mean you have to wear a mask in your car too? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This concerns me too. Wearing a mask can cause my glasses to steam up. Not great when you're trying to see were you are going! I always have a mask to hand just in case I have to stop at a police road block. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BritManToo Posted April 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2021 Why would you need to wear a face mask while driving. In a car your windows is the face mask. On a m/c your helmet visor is a face mask. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
