Mr Anutin took to Facebook to say sorry after he criticised farang, the Thai word for “Westerners”, suggesting they had put the general public at risk amid the coronavirus outbreak and should be deported. Government efforts to solve the shortage and high prices of face masks took a hit on Friday after Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul had to apologise for saying that a group of foreigners should be “kicked out of Thailand” for refusing to wear them.
