Well, it's still no closer on determining whether face masks are mandatory or not.... For me, facemask when I leave my room, facemask on a motorbike, take facemask off when dining, facemask off when swimming, facemask on whenever safe distance is not possible. And no, I'm not wearing a face mask while I'm sunbathing on a beach and there's no one within farting distance of me.

Why don’t farangs wear facemasks properly?  They are disrespectful of local Thais by doing this.

Not the law (as in a formal law on the books) but it's mandated under the emergency decree that was extended through March, therefore a fineable violation
