Thailand Reverses Decision, No Longer Requires Proof of Covid Vaccination for Foreign Visitors

Just days after announcing a new requirement that foreign travelers to Thailand must present proof of Covid vaccination, the country has backtracked and withdrawn the rule. The vaccine certificate requirement, which was set to take effect on Monday, was scrapped due to concerns that it would deter tourists. The change comes as Thailand prepares for a wave of tourist arrivals from China, which has recently reopened its borders to the world and eliminated the need for quarantine upon arrival. According to Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, the decision to waive the vaccine certificate requirement was made in order to avoid “inconvenience” to travelers, as most Thais and tourists from China and other countries have already been fully vaccinated and possess some immunity to the virus. Despite the chaos surrounding the vaccine rule, Thailand is still expecting to see 7 to 10 million Chinese travelers visit by air…

To prevent racist perceptions, WHO renamed monkeypox

The WHO will refer to monkeypox as “mpox.” Both terms will be used concurrently for one year as monkeypox is eliminated. Xavier Becerra, US Secretary of Health and Human Services, praised the announcement. “We must remove barriers to public health, and removing the stigma associated with the disease is important to our attempts to eradicate mpox.” The International Classification of Diseases lets the WHO rename diseases. It refrains from associating diseases and viruses with nations, regions, animals, or ethnic groupings. WHO will use mpox in its communications and encourages others to do similarly to reduce the negative impact of the present name. The one-year transition period prevents confusion caused by a name change during a global outbreak. This year, the WHO reported 81,107 confirmed cases and 55 deaths from 110 countries. 97% of individuals infected were male, with a median age of 34, and 85% had sexual contact with other…

Monday in Samut Prakan, approximately 28,000 pints of Haagen-Dazs ice cream with a total retail value of 12 million baht were discarded despite the fact that the samples had not been verified to have a cancer-causing ingredient. According to today’s Bangkok Post, Weerachai Nolwachai, the deputy secretary-general of Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA), stated on Tuesday that a number of European countries had recalled Haagen-Dazs ice cream from sale following a warning that batches with expiration dates between March 16 and April 23, 2023, may be contaminated with pesticide.

Since the year 2020, around 3,000 product recalls in the EU have been caused…

Since Thursday’s daycare atrocity, Thailand has had to address some unpleasant issues. Gregory Raymond is a lecturer at the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs.
