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.

@Steve *********

not in Chiang Mai Province in mass. I thought it had early Feb. and then it went weird. If you're looking at the broader region, Myanmar has had a fire fest for the better part of a month.

All the stats for CM are publicly available. I've showed you my summary graph - all the CM data is publicly available and again - this is a weird February.

@Marc ********

many foreingers do wear masks and if you don't, you're making us all look bad. Never forget that the Deputy PM targeted us in the past.
