Finally, despite increased Songkran traffic, the opening of many tourist enclave bars, and two long weekends when Thais were on the move, the number of daily reported Covid cases has decreased significantly since April 1. Not only did it plummet, but it plummeted by more than 80%. As a result, there are fewer and fewer arguments for keeping residual Covid limitations. A casual stroll through the streets of Patong Beach, Phuket, revealed that Thailand’s tourist areas are still recovering, with many businesses still closed. I chatted with four bar owners from different parts of Thailand last night, and they all told me the same tale. International tourists, who make up a big amount of the present tourist flow, appear to be less likely to swing their legs under a bar stool and engage in conversation with the staff. Thailand’s nightlife operators – pubs, karaoke bars, clubs, and larger massage establishments…

In many ways, Bangkok is a multicultural city, not simply in terms of sexuality. If we welcome change, we can have happy lives. Among the notable attendees were representatives from political parties, foreign embassies, the commercial sector, and even Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-office cha’s.In the United States, same-sex marriage, civil unions, domestic partnerships, unregistered cohabitations, and any other kind of same-sex relationship is prohibited. On the other side, Bangkok’s LGBT activists are striving for change. Thai society is extremely traditional, despite its reputation as a haven for LGBT rights. Thai law forbids same-sex couples from legally marrying. Marriage can only be contracted between a man and a woman, according to Thailand’s Civil and Commercial Code. The march will begin at 4 p.m. at Maha Uma Devi Temple, a Hindu temple known as ‘Wat Khaek’ or ‘South Asian temple’ in Thai slang. On Pan and Silom Roads, the temple can be…
Eliza and Matilda are said to have gone on an afternoon hike to a waterfall and did not return to their hostel that night. The following morning, the squad discovered the young females in the bush. The hostel subsequently requested assistance from the park authorities, and a search was launched that night. They were taken to the park office after the park head reported they appeared to be exhausted. Park rangers in Surat Thani, Thailand’s southern province, discovered two visitors who went missing the day before. Eliza Rose, 19, and Matilda Cox, 19, became separated in a bush in Phanom district’s Khao Sok National Park. Matilda comes from Northern Ireland, while Eliza is a British national. Last month, personnel from the Phuket Visitor Police and the National Park Service rescued an American tourist who had become trapped in the woods in central Phuket’s Thalang area. The visitor, a 68-year-old guy…
Powerbuy, a Central Group store that first opened in 1996, may be found in every Central retail mall in Thailand. This is also true of Robinsons, their second shopping center. Because it’s nearly impossible to find an electric store in Thailand that offers the greatest services and products at a fair price, making an informed decision is critical. Shopping at IT stores or larger chain shopping malls that sell a variety of things, such as Central and The Mall, which sell reputable and trustworthy brands, is recommended for peace of mind. A collaboration between Land and Houses and Quality Houses resulted in the formation of the Home Product Center in June 1995. The company opened its first facility under the Homepro brand in Rangsit a year later, in September 1996. They’re well-known for being the one-stop shop for everything you’ll need for your retreat. It’s a one-stop shop for anything…
Temples have been built to represent ruling kings throughout history. Furthermore, depending on the circumstances, some monks may be willing to speak with you about their lives and share their experiences. It’s an entirely different game than Bangkok. A hotel room costs between B1,000 and B2,000 on average. Of course, depending on your choices, you can locate places that are cheaper or more expensive. The “Event of Lights” is a northern Thai festival that takes place on the full moon of the Thai lunar calendar’s 12th month (normally in November). It is linked to the Loy Krathong holiday. Hundreds of thousands of lanterns will be launched into the sky throughout Chiang Mai. It’s a fantastic area for families to visit since there are so many exciting activities to do together, delicious food to eat, and intriguing sights to see. Chiang Mai offers a wide range of fun activities. Jungle trekking,…
One of Bangkok’s two airports is Suvarnabhumi International Airport, while the other is Don Muang Airport. Suvarnabhumi International Airport is located in Samut Prakan, Thailand, about 30 kilometers south of Bangkok. Tickets can be purchased at the cash machines or from the counter workers at the railway station, which is located in the airport’s basement. From 6 a.m. to 12 a.m., the train runs. The three choices for arriving into the city center are via train, bus, or cab.

Earlier this month, the Election Commission launched a campaign encouraging people to vote tomorrow. Trucks with loud speakers traveled across Bangkok, asking people to exercise their right to vote, which they haven’t done in nearly a decade. In nine years, Bangkok will conduct its first governor election. With 31, the number of candidates registered for the election is the highest it has ever been. Candidates registered in City Hall in March, each promising to address a different issue. We know you can’t get enough of Thailand’s alcohol limitations, so tonight in Pattaya and Bangkok, there will be another one for you! Because of the Pattaya mayoral election and the Bangkok governor election, both of which are planned for tomorrow, alcohol sales will be forbidden in Pattaya and Bangkok from 6 p.m. today (Saturday) to 6 p.m. tomorrow night. During the following 24 hours, no alcohol can be purchased, sold, or…
A prominent noodle shop in Bangkok was forced to close its doors permanently last month after more than 80 years of selling fish meatball noodles. “I’ve never seen ingredients this expensive before,” said the proprietor of the shop. Thawat’s noodles are even cheaper than 7-Eleven’s famous 6 baht Mama noodles, which come in a variety of – generally fishy – tastes. Mama noodles have been marketed at 6 baht each packet since 2014, but the price will shortly rise to 1 baht per packet, a 50 satang increase. Despite the fact that the cost of ingredients is higher than it has ever been, a restaurant in Chiang Mai’s northern province assures that 3 baht noodles will continue to be available. The restaurant’s owner, Thawat Pirata, stated that he has not raised the price of noodles in 34 years and has no intentions to do so in the future. According to…
The return of overseas tourists has begun to revitalize the island’s economy and cut unemployment, according to a Bangkok Post story. As per officials on Phuket’s southern island, the return of holidaymakers has raised revenue and created more jobs. Since the launch of the Phuket sandbox project on July 1 last year, the island has received 503,468 tourists, according to data provided by Phuket governor Narong Wunciew in the 304 days leading up to April 30.
