Why Thais Wore Masks Before Covid-19
Pollution
In early 2018, my first "smog season" living in Bangkok, my Thai language teacher was frank. You're putting your health at major risk, she warned, if you don't wear a mask (which I now know to be an N-95) every day. I never did heed her recommendation, but these days I do go out of my way to avoid central and northern Thailand between about February and April.
Anonymity
For some locals, my least favorite aspect of masks in Thailand-that they render many people indistinguishable from one another-is a feature, not a bug. In certain instances, this is due to social anxiety, particularly among young women. In other cases, it's due to wanting to go about one's business in the city without being detected by friends and family. Not my cup of tea, but you do you, boo.
Ordinary illnesses
While I can understand why people might believe a facial barrier would stop the spread of viruses, actual science has never supporter this conclusion. In spite of this, a certain contingent of Thais have always worn masks with sick with cold, flu or allergies, and even while in hospitals for treatment, but not sick. Before covid-19, however, this entailed maybe 1-2 per cent of the population, at most.
Copying Japan
As you explore Thailand, you may notice that the country's popular culture leans heavily on trends made famous in Japan and Korea. There's an argument to be made that the ubiquity of masks in Thailand, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, owes to how common they remain in Japan. While I don't have any evidence to back this up, my extensive travel experience in both countries suggests that it may be true.
So After you know the reason,you must want to know which kind of face mask is more popular in Thailand.
