according to NBC news. Also Air Canada files for bankruptcy today partially blaming SARS.

 From what I've seen it's only tourists arriving from China, Hong Kong, and Singapore who have to wear masks while staying in Thailand. Here's a couple of links below. Maybe they've changed it, but this is all the info I could find.

don't scare me.

i'm coming from USA.

I'd hate to wear a mask everywhere i go.

 

After reading the report, i don't think USA is one of the affected countries.

Though i will be travelling from USA to Tokyo airport, then to Taipei airport, and ultimately to Bangkok airport.

So, the checkin / checkout process should be interesting.

Raylene,

 

Hate to put you off but Taiwan is one of the SARS countries listed.  Seems like anyone arriving from Taipei will have to put up with the mask. ;D  Or not? ???

 

Let us know what the outcome is.

Interesting question: How Thai officials controlling on the beach or wherewer in the city, that who come from those countries? Even that if you only changed the plane there are no any stamp in your passport.

checking my passport now from my last trip...

only stamp was "Immigration Bangkok Thailand" and was checked that i entered and exited the country.

 

who knows, maybe because of SARS they'll stamp your passport at each airport you arrive at.

then when on walking street, a cop comes up to you and asks for your passport (if you carry it and not just a copy).

if it has a stamp from a SARS country, then they fine you 10,000 baht or jail you for 6 months.

 

that situation will suck!

maybe i'm worrying for nothing.

i think i'm paranoid.

 

it'll pass

(deep breaths)

breath in ... breath out

ahh, all relaxed now

 

now to dream of dancing gogo girls
