On Khao San Road, marijuana is prohibited; authorities call for enforcement

The mishmash of yes and no regarding the handling and prosecution of cannabis is to put it mildly bewildering, despite the fact that roughly a million people have now been granted licenses to sell cannabis. Smoking in public can also be penalized as a nuisance. Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health, has called for the arrest of marijuana dealers on Khao San Road after his political party lobbied for its legalization and later complained that they had expected everyone would only consume it for medicinal grounds. Wasan Boonmuenwai, the district head of Phra Nakhon, has asked police to pursue anyone who sells marijuana on Khao San Road in Bangkok, making it clear that sellers there are not permitted to lawfully sell the drug. The poster allegedly smoked cannabis on a tourist street and ended up getting quite unwell, according to accounts on social media, she added. Four of the…

Most of Thailand will have Covid by 2023, virologist believes

One of Thailand’s top virologists expects that by year’s end, nearly everyone will have Covid-19. Most people will have Covid within three years, like influenza. Yong Poovorawan, chief of Chulalongkorn University’s Clinical Virology Centre, predicted this using current and past data. Before the third Covid wave last year, he projected another wave or two and two years until herd immunity stopped the virus. Since most new infections are minor, scientists think most go undiscovered, and 2,000 to 3,000 daily hospitalizations suggest tens of thousands everyday. The daily death toll is 20 to 30. The first human-to-human transmission in Thailand occurred in a taxi driver in late January 2020. Coronavirus avoidance may be futile. Yesterday, the Ministry of Health reported 2,316 new Covid infections and 35 deaths. Dr. Yong believes medical care and immunizations kept death tolls down while the Coronavirus became less deadly, but the epidemic persisted longer. Epidemics like…

Internet users urge that a foreigner caught fishing parrotfish be punished

The majority of online users criticized the foreigner, alleging that his activities broke the law and harmed the marine habitat. They urged government organizations to file charges against the foreign national and the boatman. Thai internet users were furious on Thursday after seeing a TikTok video of a foreigner collecting parrotfish in the sea off Thailand. People can contact national park officials to take legal action against anyone who hunts parrotfish in the national park region, according to the page, which stated that the government also advised against buying or eating parrotfish.

The Department of National Parks Wildlife and Plant Conservation data, which claimed that the collecting of parrotfish for entertainment or cooking had caused the devastation of many coral reefs, was shared on the Facebook page “Drama-addict” in the…

In well-known tourist destinations, the tourism minister wants bars and pubs to remain open until four in the morning

Right now, bars and clubs are required to close at 2 am. Phiphat is one of the few elected officials who openly backs a practice that is considered a “social sin.” Since their opinions are often disregarded by those who self-identify as devoted Buddhists because they are seen to contradict Thai “Buddhism society’s” moral norm, supporters have faced stigma. The minister claimed that his idea was consistent with foreign visitors’ lifestyles, notably those from Europe and the Middle East. According to the tourism minister, he will ask the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration to take into account permitting bars and pubs in popular tourist provinces to stay open until 4 a.m. on Thursday. The tourists want to drink more because the festivities are about to reach their climax and the venues are getting set to close. The 2 am closing, according to Phiphat, does not satisfy their needs. He predicted…

The Thai Justice Minister offers restitution to the families of those who perished in the Mountain B club fire

Somsak Thepsuthin, the minister of justice, sent his sincere sympathies to all 67-year-old victims and committed to providing each one with compensation in accordance with the Workmen’s Compensation Act.

Teenagers and government officials in Chiang Mai are huge fans of e-ganja

Unlike cigarettes, using an e-ganja electronic gadget does not produce any scent or smoke, which is one of its advantages. Either wealthy teens or high-ranking government employees are their greatest e-ganja customers, according to vendors in the northern province of Chiang Mai. According to media sources, smokers typically purchase e-ganja online for about 3,000 baht. Smokers can manage themselves and know their limitations thanks to the cannabis oil in e-ganja. E-ganja is a type of portable electronic gadget that mimics smoking, much like an e-cigarette. The e-ganja electronic device, however, uses cannabis oil in place of tobacco, unlike e-cigarettes. Since many people have allergies to bongs or ground cannabis wrapped in paper, e-ganja has grown in popularity. According to a business owner who spoke to the media, many sellers import e-ganja since it is well-liked even by officials of the government and has no smell or smoke. Nobody would be…
