Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing (Thailand) Co Ltd, the German automaker’s Thai assembly plant, will sign a memorandum of understanding with the Excise Department regarding government incentives for the production of electric vehicles, according to Ekniti. The incentive program will need to reduce the price of electric vehicles (EVs) so that they can compete more effectively with gasoline-powered automobiles and motorcycles. If an electric vehicle costs less than 2 million baht, the manufacturer may be eligible for up to 150,000 baht in subsidies and reductions in import duties; if the vehicle costs more than 2 million baht, the manufacturer may be eligible for between 700,000 and 800,000 baht in subsidies and reductions in import duties.

The chairman of the NBTC board, Sorana Boonbaichaipreug, declared on Friday that the SAT had 15 days to refund the money, and a 5% interest fee would be assessed for late payment. Sorana alleged that the SAT violated the “must-have” condition, which states that all individuals must have unlimited access to World Cup broadcasts because other internet TV providers were unable to display the events.

He continued by stating that the NBTC would be required to launch a case against the SAT in Administrative Court…

Friday, renowned attorney Kerdpol Kaewkerd predicted Pisit would avoid jail time by claiming self-defense. The gold shop owner shot the robbers, injuring one. Two suspects escaped, but the injured man and another were caught. Pisit (surname omitted), a gold business owner, was criticized for close-range shooting. The 49-year-old marksman is decorated. This incident raised doubts about “self-defense” shootings. In 2018, engineer Suthep Poshsomboon road-raged and killed a Chonburi teen. Suthep was fired after a child hit him in a right-of-way dispute. The court of the first instance and court of appeals sentenced Suthep to 10 years in prison for choosing an unnecessary conflict. The Supreme Court acquitted and reduced the sentence to three years and four months with parole because the shooting was self-defense. Article 8 of Thailand’s 1947 Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, Fireworks, and Imitation of Firearms Act requires ammunition to match the owner’s license. Infringers face ten years in…

The Robert Walters Salary Survey 2023, which was published on November 29th, contained this information.
