The government has allocated more than 59 million baht to the underground construction project in the island province’s major city district. According to the head of the Provincial Electricity Authority’s Patong office, tourists had complained about electrical poles and cables. According to Phuket City Mayor Saroj Angkanapilart, the 600-meter-long subterranean construction project would be on Phuket Road between the Bang Neaw Intersection and Soi Kor Pai. A big construction project in Phuket will start next month and be completed in April 2023. Authorities from Phuket put power and communication lines on Bangla Road in Patong, a city on the west coast of Phuket, last year. Beginning in 2019, the installation of cable across Patong was finished in 2021. However, Mayor Saroj believes that the construction project in Phuket’s city district will be completed in less time than a year. Only time will tell if it is possible. The construction is…

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…

Police conducted a raid on four resorts in the western province yesterday because they were encroaching on both forest land and property belonging to Thailand’s energy generating authority. The original resort, which was owned by EGAT and featured 20 raft huts in addition to 7 buildings, was situated close to the dam. It is reported that the resort illegally expanded over about 6 rai of EGAT land. According to police chief Pongpetch Ketsupa, the buildings and raft homes were built without a license from the municipality. After Thai media reported witnessing trucks and construction machinery mining earth on a hill in Kamala, a town in Phuket, authorities have forbidden any further excavation on the location. The police conducted hotel raids close to a dam in the Sri Sawat area. A Nor Sor 3 land title, which allows landowners to build on land they do not wholly control, was used to…

The freshly built area was meant to be used by visitors, but merchants, local companies, and hawkers quickly claimed the space and set up stalls, tables, chairs, and other furniture, preventing anyone who wanted to use the sandy area from getting to it. About 300 business owners protested the planned ban at the Na Jomtien Municipality in the Chon Buri province. Beginning on July 27, no company may reserve parts of the beach, walkways, or roadways for its employees’ exclusive use. Those who violate the prohibition risk receiving a fine of up to 2,000 baht. The suppliers, nevertheless, are not easily defeated. The demonstrators claim that the restriction will destroy their way of life. Many residents and visitors to Na Jomtien, according to Kanpong, blame the “misplaced” merchants for their annoyances and have been begging with the government to intervene. However, Kanpong gave the suppliers his word that he would…

Officials from the Non Sung district have now warned the villagers to make sure that the roofs and structures of their homes can withstand severe weather. The plans of visitors to the island who were hoping for sunshine were derailed by the wet day in Phuket, which was located further south. Traffic was hampered by the flooding on several routes, including Sukhumvit Road. Additionally, residences next to the road were inundated. Thailand’s poorest region is in the northeast. The dwellings look to have been constructed with wood and other delicate materials in photographs. Poorer villages with flimsy dwellings are severely struck during Thailand’s monsoon season when wind and rain are constantly pelting various locations. Along with local officials, the Nong Sung district head distributed assistance packs to homeowners and assessed the damage. Thankfully, there were no reported casualties. The monsoon season is currently having its worst impact on communities in…

Chadchart Sittipunt, the new governor of Bangkok, shared a video of himself on a daily jog in the city while covering his face. The latest edict’s publication in the Royal Gazette made any doubt regarding face masks clear. Chadchart and several friends or coworkers can be seen wearing coordinated T-shirts in the video. The gathering leaves from Lumpini Park and can be seen moving on to other locations after passing through Bangkok’s Asoke neighborhood. In order to allow people to live more normally, mask wearing will now only be done on a voluntary basis. In order to lower the risk of infection transmission, the Ministry of Population Health only advises the general public to wear a mask when living with others in a crowded space, in public gatherings where they can’t maintain social distance, or in places with poor ventilation. “Running to work,” the caption reads. Chadchart informed the media…

Despite little attempts from the authorities, wastewater frequently enters Daraphan Village 5 from the neighboring Eakmongkol Village 8. In order to transport the effluent into the Pattaya city sewers, officials had previously agreed to install the necessary pipework. During his campaign this year, one Pattaya mayoral candidate promised to address the city’s flooding and garbage issues.However, after visiting both communities this week, Pattaya’s deputy mayor and city council members discovered that the pipes were ineffective. The path into Daraphan 5 was still being filled with sewage. For for almost 7 years, a village in East Pattaya has experienced terrible sewage issues, and nothing is improving. Sludge-filled murky waterways surrounded Jomtien. He lost the election for the city, nevertheless. The poor Daraphan people have been afflicted by a sewage crisis for at least 7 years, but Deputy Mayor Manote Nongyai hasn’t maintained any of his promises to them up to this…

A well-known Thai country singer has drawn criticism for her adventurous gastronomic preferences. The couple is captured afterwards devouring the, well, “strange” lunch in a photograph. The hunting, gathering, or possession of monitor lizards is now prohibited by law. A fine of up to 500,000 baht or up to five years in prison are the possible penalties for keeping a monitor lizard. The number of monitor lizards has greatly increased as a result of these movements. Even if posting the video wasn’t Kratai’s best move, her supporters have pointed out that eating it is extremely common in the countryside. The monitor lizard is listed as country’s No. 40 protected species, according to one irate tweeter who went viral for their response to Kratai’s supper choice. The Thai singer Kratai Phannipha recorded her husband preparing a fiery feast that used a unique form of meat: a monitor lizard, a species that…
