Anutin Charnvirakul, the Minister of Public Health, announced on Tuesday that his ministry opposes the plan by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports to extend the operating hours of nightclubs by two hours. On the other hand, political experts have described this announcement as odd. This is especially true given that Anutin is the leader of coalition partner Bhumjaithai, and it appears that he is opposing Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprasert, a fellow party member. Tuesday morning, immediately prior to his attendance at the Cabinet meeting, Anutin announced the status of his ministry. This was in response to Phiphat’s declaration that the Cabinet would discuss his proposal to extend bar closing hours in select tourist destinations on Tuesday. This action was taken in response to the announcement. Phiphat claimed that he will approach the Cabinet to seek permission for his plan to extend the closing hour of nightclubs and…

Immigration authorities all around the country have been stepping up their enforcement efforts against foreign nationals who overstay the validity of their stamps or visas. A program that runs for ten days beginning on December 1 and ending on December 10 is conducting an aggressive search for visitors who have overstayed the date indicated on their passports and are still present in the country. And some of the provinces are employing some quite unsettling Big Brother-style surveillance equipment to accomplish this. The immigration office in the province of Surat Thani, which is home to the popular tourist destinations of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao, has implemented some cutting-edge technological solutions. Officers now use smart patrol cars that are equipped with advanced facial recognition technology to expeditiously verify visitors from other countries. In order to crack down on international visitors who have overstayed their visas, immigration authorities are now…

According to Google’s Year in Search 2022, the most searched terms in Thailand in 2022 were “State welfare card” and “Nida “Tangmo” Patcharaveerapong.” Both of these words mean “politician.” Based on Google searches, the annual survey gives a snapshot of the most important trends and interests of the past year. For the fourth year in a row, government aid and stimulus measures were among the most searched terms. After Covid-19 and the cost-of-living crisis hurt the economy and made it hard for Thais to make ends meet, “State welfare card” was the most-searched term in Thailand. The actress Tangmo was the second person who died. She died in Bangkok on February 24 in a boating accident that was all over the news for weeks. “Let’s Go Halves” Phase 5, the most recent version of the government’s shopping subsidy program, came in third. The Thai drama series “Tai Lar,” also known…
In a Facebook post, Dr. Yong discussed the findings of two research conducted by the Chulalongkorn University Centre of Excellence in Clinical Virology. However, the level of protection depended on the number of doses administered. After a few months, the immunization, according to him, produced a reduction in immunity. In addition, he noted that patients should receive a booster shot every six months, or every four to five months if they belong to a high-risk category. In recent weeks, the number of hospitalizations due to Covid-19 has risen to more than 700 per day, and the number of deaths has risen to more than 10 per day. The government has decided to construct extra vaccination facilities in Bangkok and other Covid hotspots due to the rising pace of new illnesses. Yong noted that it was impossible to quantify the level of immunity necessary to prevent Covid-19 symptoms because the vast…

When people in Thailand discovered that it is against the law to flush used paper towels down the toilet, they were taken aback by the information. A Thai woman whose husband owned a restaurant in Hokkaido had posted on the Facebook group on December 3, and the administrator of the page got the post. The letter that the Thai woman wrote offered advice to tourists from Thailand, advising them not to throw tissues down the toilet. Her husband owns and operates a restaurant that has a Hokkaido-style atmosphere. The woman made a request for assistance in disseminating information regarding the disposal of tissue in Japan, specifically within institutions that serve women. She specifically requested assistance in doing so within women’s shelters. My partner has delegated me the responsibility of putting up a sign urging tourists from Thailand to take their used tissues and remove them from the trash cans. The…
In addition to this, he suggested that investors use methods of hedging, such as options, in order to limit their exposure to risk in a currency market that was excessively volatile. He also noted that the exit of foreign investors from the Thai stock market could add to the pressure that is being put on the baht to drop, which is the currency of Thailand. On the other hand, he expressed skepticism over the possibility of a significant devaluation of the Thai baht and projected that an important resistance level for the currency would be located between 35.20 and 35.30 baht to one dollar. The value of the baht has been supported by a number of factors, the most notable of which is the sales of dollars by particular exporters and the international purchases of short-term and long-term bonds issued by the Thai government. The opening rate of the baht…
The Ministry of Transport and the airlines have been informed of the issue, and Prime Minister Prayut has urged that they find a solution and boost the number of flights to Thailand.

On the same day that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-chat made the observation that the tourist industry is on its way to recovery, he issued a directive requiring the Ministry to get in touch with international flight carriers. Up to the 10th of December this year, the administration estimates that the country has received approximately 10 million people from other countries. As the peak season draws closer, that number is only going to continue to rise. In addition, the Bangkok Post reports that orders have been placed for additional ground service employees in an effort to better accommodate the growing number of passengers. In other news, the proposal that the Ministry of Tourism and Sports was planning to submit to the Cabinet in order to allow night entertainment venues in some districts to remain open past 2 am has apparently been delayed. Now, the tourism campaign known as “We Travel Together”…
