It was certified as a law in the Royal Gazette in June 2021 - the PM was fined 6,000 baht for not wearing a mask under the law - those are both facts. This Thaiger article runs through it well and read carefully what that racist clown Anutin actually said.

@Maxime ********

Anutin is a racist clown. The law was certified in the Royal Gazette in June 2021. This article goes through it and let's not forget, the PM was fined 6,000 baht for not wearing a mask.

@Maxime ********

prove it. Thailand has been wearing masks for over two years. It just is.

I see you deleted your previous post that claimed that anyone who wears a mask is in your words "a moron." Even before COVID, mask wearing when unwell was normal here.

@Maxime ********

Pure lies. The law is Kingdom-wide. That people are breaking the law makes no difference legally.

@Marc ********

So you've just claimed that 99.9% of Thais here are morons because they comply with the law and wear masks. That's even before I get to expats. Good for you - why the F are you here in Thailand again if you hate most people?

@Marc ********

putting aside that you make the rest of us look bad, best of luck. If you ever get targeted or fined - don't whinge on social media.

@Marc ********

proper masks are not useless at all - N95 and equivalent give you protection. Peer-reviewed, scientific fact. Cloth masks in the U.S. were always a joke, however. And as presuming you're in Thailand - it's the law. Would you break laws in your own country?

If you find maks "uncomfortable," buy a mask that fits your face and provides proper protection - not rocket science. And again - Thai law.

@Maxime ********

I live 20km on the outskirts of Chiang Mai - everyone wears a mask without fail. This isn't August 2020 when there were no new cases and people got lax.

@Steve *********

on that - we agree. And a proper mask - N95 or equivalent. Cloth masks were always a joke..

And by last year I presume you mean COVID. Smog in CM gets better every year.

@Steve *********

Except that your claim is not true. Does rain help - it always does, but statistically the number of fires dropped days before it started raining. I have no idea why and I've mentioned that on CMNIE in previous posts but its a provable fact that can be backed up by publicly available data.
