The crown was used to ornament a stone-sculpted Buddha figure, which was a customary religious offering at the period. The information centers in the Prasat Sadok Kok Thom historical park in Sa Kaeo province and the Phnom Rung historical park in Buri Ram province will display the two Khmer lintels that were repatriated from the United States. They’re on display at the Denver Art Museum right now. It weighs about 42.6g and is fashioned of 95 percent pure gold in the Lanna art style. Itthiphol believes that more precious artifacts may be returning home after the US Homeland Security Department discovered some bronze statues from the Prakon Chai archaeological site in Thailand’s north-eastern area of Buri Ram. The Fine Arts Department of the National Museum in Bangkok is studying the old crown before it is displayed in the future. The 48-year-old minister said the department was created around five years…

Drug users and sellers communicate often via email, social media, and LINE, a popular Thai messaging app, according to officials. They further stated that narcotics packages arriving in Phuket are commonly disguised in coastal areas like as mangrove woodlands and fish cages. They also indicated that in order to monitor drug routes by land and sea, increased collaboration between the government and related networks is essential. Officials believe that in order to prevent drug smuggling into Phuket, airlines must be more careful. The panel did, however, talk on how important it is for drug users to get the help they need.

According to a story in Nation Thailand, spokeswoman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana claims that the government’s decision to cancel Test & Go has resurrected the tourism business, with over 20,000 international visits per day today. The now-defunct Test & Go program required international visitors to undergo a PCR test upon arrival and stay in quarantine at a pre-arranged accommodation until their results were negative. If this trend continues, Thanakorn estimates that Thailand will receive roughly 500,000 visitors per month during the low season of May to September, with the majority coming from the short-haul sector. This number is likely to quadruple during the peak season, which runs from October through December, as travelers from Europe and the United States avoid the cold. The Thai administration has denied that it is neglecting the country’s tourism crisis, as claimed by the opposition. He goes on to say that once Chinese tourists resume travel, the…

Last Monday, the CCSA resolved to classify all provinces as yellow, indicating the greatest level of surveillance, blue, indicating tourist zones, or green, indicating low surveillance. There are now 46 yellow provinces, 17 blue provinces, and 14 green provinces in the country. According to the plan, the DDC will only record incidents that need hospitalization beginning June 1. In the green and blue provinces, nightlife is returning, with alcohol sales authorized until midnight. Promotions of alcoholic beverages are illegal, as is the sharing of alcoholic beverages, and bartenders and other nightlife employees must wear face masks. Thailand’s Department of Disease Control has discontinued using ATK testing to report Covid-19 infections. According to a CCSA spokesman, another concept for boosting Covid-19 reporting will be presented to the Public Health Ministry’s Emergency Operations Centre tomorrow. Masks are recommended for individuals in the high-risk “608” category, which includes those aged 60 and up,…
The Thai Commerce Ministry is already working on plans to promote hemp fiber in the textile industry, as it has a lot of market potential. Despite their numerous medical benefits, hemp and cannabis were classed as narcotics under Thailand’s Narcotics Act’s Category 5. In the next five years, the global market for hemp-based textiles and clothing is expected to reach more than 140 billion baht, representing a 23 percent rise. Thailand’s government is pursuing a controversial plan to employ hemp in the textile industry as part of the country’s green agenda. Thailand, on the other hand, made history by legalizing cannabis possession and use for medicinal and scientific purposes in 2019. Thai textile exports totaled more than US$1.8 billion in the first quarter of this year, up roughly 14% year on year. The United States, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, India, and Germany were the top export destinations. Because…
After opening in Singapore and Hong Kong, the world’s largest multi-attraction pass supplier has added Bangkok to its list of new locales, which now includes Tokyo, Seoul, and Kuala Lumpur. And, with the recent return of travel following Thailand’s opening up, the company has decided to reintroduce its product to serve both locals and visitors. In the future, the business plans to advertise the Go City pass in more Thai cities. Thai travelers were the region’s fifth-largest market prior to the coronavirus outbreak, with the London Pass being the best-selling product. Go City also wants to promote lesser-known destinations so that tourists may get more out of their one, two, or three-day passes. Go City, a global travel giant, has created a new tourism app in Bangkok that allows culture fans to visit more than 30 attractions for the price of one ticket. According to Go City CEO Jon Owen,…
Returning Thai citizens do not need to register for the Thailand Pass, but must show proof of immunization or a negative test result. According to Suttipong, fully vaccinated travelers do not need to submit a negative test result in order to enter Thailand. According to Suttipong, foreigners who do not have a Thailand Pass QR code may be denied boarding, albeit the airlines are responsible for checking this. Suttipong says that the Thailand Pass registration process is now easier and more convenient, according to a Bangkok Post piece.

The first group consists of fully vaccinated travelers who should use an antigen test to…
AirAsia is initially focusing on the Bangkok market in order to attract more international visitors before expanding into tourist spots such as Chiang Mai and Phuket. There are already 3,000 registered drivers in Bangkok, with plans to add more as tourism expands. You can now download the AirAsia Super App: Fly & Ride app to your phone. AirAsia, a popular low-cost Malaysian airline, debuted its own app for ride-hailing in Thailand today, offering a variety of services ranging from vehicle rides akin to Grab and Bolt, to flight reservations and meal ordering, in an already burgeoning market. According to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Nathan Naidu, AirAsia’s entry of the ride-hailing market will be difficult. It will have to pay a lot of money to recruit drivers. However, my experience in other Southeast Asian markets has taught me that Southeast Asians are not yet wedded to their platforms, so they can be…
Thailand’s education minister acknowledged that teachers are not allowed to clip kids’ hair as a method of punishment for breaking hairstyle guidelines. Trinuch Thienthong claims that her government has no such policy and that teachers have no right to humiliate kids by cutting their hair. According to a Bangkok Post report, the minister believes that verbal warnings, assigning demerit points, and requiring students to participate in activities aimed at rectifying their behavior are all acceptable punishments. Cutting their hair, on the other hand, is not an option. Trimming or cutting a student’s hair to punish them, according to Trinuch, could be deemed unnecessarily harsh and possibly threatening in order to induce a change in behavior. She acknowledges that discipline is an important element of the educational system, but she believes that forced haircuts have no place in the classroom and do not teach kids about their duties and responsibilities. She…
