Take a sip! After its bar crafted the largest Negroni cocktail ever, a hotel in Bangkok can now boast a new, alcoholic Guinness World Record. According to the official Guinness adjudicator, all of the alcohol must be bottled and distributed within the next three months. The barrels of Negroni were pumped into an ice-filled acrylic container that was 1.7 meters tall and weighted roughly 400 kg on Monday, officially setting the record. The conventional 10-ounce old-fashioned glass used to serve a Negroni beverage could pour an astounding 2,130 different cocktails. Therefore, if you enjoy the Negroni, this is a fantastic opportunity to stop by the Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok Hotel’s bar. Bangkok’s new Guinness World Record-holding cocktail broke the prior record, which contained 504 liters of Negroni, by more than 125 liters. The quantity of orange peels used as a garnish is unknown. Numerous bottles of each component were used by…

After the last increase in 2020, Labour Minister Suchart Chomklin thinks it’s time to raise the minimum daily wage again. The three-party committee decided on average increases of 5.02 percent last month, with different rates for nine groups of provinces. Chon Buri, Rayong, and Phuket will pay 354 baht per day, while Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, Nan, and Udon Thani will pay 328 baht. Mr. Suchart said that the Ministry of Finance would raise interest rates to help cushion the effects of rising inflation, especially on the poorest people. In Nan and Udon Thani, the prices of goods would go up by eight baht. Labor unions wanted rates to be much higher than they were yesterday. Before May 1, groups said that a new national tax of 492 baht should be put in place. He said that the average increase of 5.02 percent was fine for business owners who knew how…

Northern Thailand occasionally experiences stronger, more catastrophic earthquakes. At 1:03 a.m., a magnitude 3.6 earthquake shook the Fang district in the Chiang Mai province of northern Thailand, according to the Meteorological Department. There have been no incidents, fatalities, or losses reported. Numerous fault lines traverse the northern region of Thailand, making it prone to earthquakes. The center of the earthquake, which was 4 kilometers deep and located in the Mae Kha subdistrict, caused significant shaking in the area. Mae Kha, Chai Prakan, and Mae Ngon subdistricts reported significant tremors, while Mueang Chiang Mai, 100 kilometers to the south, felt the earthquakes. Mae Kha resident: “I was lying on the floor when I heard a big rumbling sound.” Then, I began to tremble. One person on the third floor of an apartment building in Chai Prakan said, “I heard a big sound, like someone starting a car, then the building shook.…

Roots of indigenous plants prevented the sand in Maya Bay from washing away. Sand would have eroded in the absence of the plants. Reopening of the bay is planned for October 1. Given what we’ve learned today, the bay might stay closed. For breaking Thailand’s National Park Act and National Environmental Quality Promotion and Conservation Act, the film company was sued (1992). The native ecology of Phi Phi Island was devastated by renovations. The 250-meter beach at Maya Bay was reopened in January after 3 and a half years. The film company was sued for permitting Maya Bay to be “renovated” for the movie by Thailand’s Forestry Department. The Supreme Court mandated that Thailand’s Department of Forestry use 10 million baht from 20th Century Studios to repair Maya Bay. 20th Century Fox, now known as 20th Century Studios, is responsible for the environmental harm caused by Leonardo DiCaprio’s 2000 film…

The Thai and Malaysian governments believe that the bridge will increase travel and business between their nations. A road connecting Bukit Kayu Hitam and Sadao will increase trade between Malaysia and Thailand, and both ministries want to hasten its construction. To accomplish their $30 billion bilateral trade goal by 2025, Malaysia’s Saifuddin Abdullah and Thailand’s Don Pramudwinai made an agreement to upgrade border infrastructure in August. The “Harmony Bridge” in Sungai Golok, which connects to Malaysia’s Rantau Panjang, will be connected to it. Buketa, Narathiwat, and Bukit Bunga, Malaysia are linked by the second river bridge. Malaysia’s most frequent visitors are still Thais, with Singaporeans coming in first. The brand-new bridge will facilitate cross-border traffic by land between the two nations. In July, Malaysians were the most prevalent foreign nationals entering Thailand, particularly via the province of Songkhla. However, an area assessment and topography survey must be finished first. A…
