WTF! Why? Someone please explain.

[ThaiEyes]

Apparently masks are a hot commodity. On par with Buddha images leaving the country. The latter losing a few rungs down because of the absurdity of the former

Please

Get real

If caught by whom?

Penalty is another booster shot of the worthless sinovac vaccine.

Masks are the new Rolexes

Most people I meet here in Bkk are wearing the home sewn fabric kind of masks with hello kitty pattern etc-do those masks also count? In that case, there's hardly any shortage of masks in this country!

Did I miss something!? Or is it already April 1st? If so, then that's a really good April Fool's joke or a new Thai absurdity.

A country that made me spend about 7'000 THB for PCR tests threatens to put me in jail if I take some masks back home? This is absurd. I think, Thailand should look for a new akronym. My contribution is "LoF" (Land of Fines).

Need to crack the wip.

Err, grammar police here. I think that should be 'whip'.

Shortage of masks apparently

[thaicm]

This has got to be one of the all-time dumbest things I've ever heard.  Facemasks are available by the billions just about everywhere on the planet and the Thai government is worried about a few leaving Thailand?  I've got a better idea, put that time and energy into educating incoming travelers about actually wearing one while they're here.

Please open your case sir..... ah yes, lets see, handgun, ammunition - 4 magazines, large bag of white powder, 4 million baht... very nice sir...... oh wait, wtf is THIS? A box of 50 face masks?  SECURITY! SECURITY!
