Poj Aramwattananont, vice chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, announced that the need for workers is rising now that the government has almost completely eliminated all travel and business restrictions relating to the coronavirus in an effort to hasten the recovery of the economy. Thailand’s whole economy, from the export-oriented industries, manufacturing, processing, and construction, to the tourist and service-related sectors, is thought to be propelled by labor.

Since the government stated it would fully reopen the country to foreign tourists, there are numerous important infrastructure projects currently under construction as well as a large number of jobs in the tourism and service industries that need to be filled. The department acknowledges the need for almost 500,000 more foreign employees in its manufacturing and service sectors to aid…
The president of the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission met with 80 small hotels in Patong to address how badly handled Covid-19 laws had cost them their buildings and businesses. Even during the “sandbox,” when larger hotels and chains were allowed to accept guests, many of the Patong hotels were not allowed to reopen. As a result, many of the hotels were foreclosed upon after accruing debt and becoming unable to pay. The delegation, which represented more than 200 hotels, walked the OPDC around Patong to witness some of the hotels that had gone into foreclosure, where premises had been confiscated, everything inside had been sold at auction, and companies had been completely destroyed. Many previously existing businesses were spared from being compelled to shut down because they couldn’t meet the building standards of the Hotels Act and were unable to operate as hotels. They were indebted and…

The remodeling will be accomplished in three years. Prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, 65 million domestic and international travelers passed through Suvarnabhumi’s arrival gates. The Thailand Pass, which formerly restricted entry into Thailand, was eliminated last month, but since then, flights and passengers at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport have only increased by an average of 10%. The main terminal’s capacity to receive and manage passengers will be significantly impacted by the “Eastern Expansion project,” which would cost 7.8 billion baht and take up 66,000 square meters of space. In order to boost Thailand’s annual arrival capacity to 15 million passengers, the main terminal at Suvarnabhumi Airport will be upgraded on the east side. The Airports of Thailand board will get a final draft of the plan before it is submitted to the government for approval in the early 2023. When construction on the extension is complete in 2025, the airport’s capacity…
The five-day holiday weekend is expected to see an increase in severe Covid-19 infections, according to the Department of Disease Control, but there also seems to be a rise in the number of people with these illnesses.

He issues a warning that a prolonged holiday with many visitors from across the country could exacerbate outbreaks. Despite the advances, there…
