Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul has dismissed an effort to re-criminalize cannabis amid continued efforts to reverse the nation’s recent decision to legalize the drug. According to Anutin, who also serves as deputy prime minister, the cannabis debate has been resolved and is concluded. Those who oppose the legalization of marijuana are reclassifying it as a narcotic of Type 5. In this case, the drug would fall within the purview of the Office of Narcotics Control. Anutin, however, believes that the legalization of cannabis would not lead to an increase in the drug’s usage by minors because it will only be used for medical purposes. Despite the fact that smoking marijuana is more difficult than consuming alcohol or smoking cigarettes, the risk is rather modest, he advised parents to keep a tight eye on their children. “Now that the law has been approved, individuals who oppose the planned use…
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is advised to exert pressure on Thai embassies and consulates abroad to promote Phuket’s bid for the role of Specialized Expo 2027/28 host city. Sunday, a source from the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) cited three reasons for the bureau’s insistence that Phuket is selected as the venue. They are as follows: Phuket will serve as an ideal location because it is already a global health hub and a major medical tourism destination. As part of the “People, Planet, and Prosperity” idea, the Phuket exposition will highlight efforts to eliminate disparities in public health care and save the environment. Specialized Expos, also known as “International Recognized Exhibitions,” are global gatherings that strive to provide a specific solution to a current dilemma facing humanity. According to the source, campaign teams from Thailand and other nations have been actively lobbying Bureau World des Expositions (BIE) members…
According to data given by Thai Airways International (THAI), Japan and Singapore receive the most number of visitors from Thailand. Recently, the chief of advertising for THAI, Korakot Chatasingha, reported that the average number of New Year’s vacation reservations booked in advance has increased by around 65 percent annually.

As the colder months of the year draw closer, tourism officials in London launched a new marketing campaign to promote sunny Thailand. The “amazing THAILAND” emblem, which is used by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), has just been painted in pink across the top deck of a double-decker bus in London.

Despite the elimination of Covid-19 restrictions, travel agents in Hong Kong report low tourist numbers. Tourists are returning to Hong Kong in small groups rather than on planned tours, although the 0+3 rule discourages them from doing so. All guests must undergo a three-day health examination upon arrival. Arrivals to restaurants, pubs, amusement parks, and museums are banned for three days and must be coronavirus-screened.

Now, new guests are required to spend five days in hotel quarantine…

A study revealed that the work visa program generated more revenue than wealthy tourists. During their time in Australia, young foreign employees spent approximately AU$10,000 on average. Officials took note of the trend, and as a result, they loosened and expanded the scope of their working visa program to accommodate digital nomads and elder travelers on career sabbaticals. Young people take more time off from work, have a stronger sense of adventure when traveling, and are typically the most likely to travel. When the Covid-19 pandemic subsided, the first persons to resume traveling over the globe were young travelers. This included the quick renewal of the backpacker scene in Thailand at the same time. According to the Tourism Australia spokesperson, young travelers have their entire lives ahead of them, meaning they will be able to take more travels as they age and earn more money in the future.
