Locals are still clinging to their masks like comfort blankets in Bangkok. There are very loosely-enforced and vague murmurs from officials that masks 'should' be worn outdoors, but even that is set to be scrapped from mid-June.

Despite the virus being endemic and more mild, many Thais are still adamant that they will continue wearing one - or even two - masks outdoors. Especially now all the foreign tourists are returning to the country!
