Koh Larn has jumped on the face mask bandwagon, threatening steep fines for bare-faced beachgoers.
Unlike during the first two Covid-19 outbreaks, Koh Larn hasn’t closed down, but ferry passengers are screened for temperatures before leaving Bali Hai Pier and everyone must wear a mask on the boat.
On the island, volunteers are checking that people continue to use face masks. Both police and municipal officers have the power to fine those who don’t.
The first offense is 6,000 baht, the second offense 12,000 and 20,000 baht afterward.
