On Narisorn Road in the heart of the island province’s capital, the inauguration ceremony was conducted in front of the structures holding the Phuket Provincial Agriculture Office. The director of agriculture in Phuket emphasized the value of durian to the local population. Given the current pricing of the fruit, which incentivizes farmers to grow more durians, we estimate that farmers would use more of their land to produce durians instead of other crops.

The fruit is fairly well-liked, particularly with tourists from adjacent Asian nations, claims Chief Suban Rakthong.

Both managers are accused of breaking the curfew and COVID-19 rules, and one is also accused of breaking the regulations governing entertainment employment at entertainment venues.

At this time, private shops or offices may also decide to demand the wearing of a mask. For the time being, it is still necessary in Thai airports and on domestic flights. However, if not required, wearing a face mask will be optional. The entire nation has been declared a “green” zone, permitting a complete return of business and activity, with the Thailand Pass being eliminated the following Friday. Right now, things are as close to normal as they possibly can be. Public transportation, including the BTS, MRT lines, and buses, will continue to require face masks. You must provide proof of vaccination for fully immunized travelers arriving in Thailand who are 18 years of age or older. In reality, it’s likely that bars and clubs will stay open far later than the required hours, just as in the “old” days. Following their publication in the Royal Gazette, the CCSA’s…
