Tourism professionals and businesses have protested the fee because the sector is only beginning to return to profitability after being decimated for two years by Covid-19. Tourism and Sports Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakarn said the fee will remain. Tour groups with insurance may waive the tourist fee. Losses from tourist emergencies are not negligible. Last week should mark the end of collecting fees for land landings in Thailand. According to him, the law cannot be amended, only delayed. Proponents of the fee say the 300 Baht is needed to pay emergency costs with tourists, especially after the Covid disasters. Between 2017 and 2019, foreign patients seeking medical care but not paying their bills wasted over 350 million baht. The Health Ministry needed government cash to compensate hospitals.

Abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy was approved for legalization by the Thai Parliament in January of the previous year (up to 12 weeks). Despite this, women who aborted pregnancies…

Because of the design, Covid cannot enter the body through the nose. The Health System Research Institute’s head praised the original nature of the Thai invention.

As a result, the pores get blocked, preventing the Covid virus from entering the body through the nasal cavity. Through Facebook and the @Covitrap account on the…
