Thailand’s online SAIJAI homecare marketplace, which includes ‘on demand’ services for elderly or senior care, is one solution that addresses these demands. With more people working from home, having these services available when and as needed fills a gap in a hectic schedule. Thailand’s aging society is quickly expanding, with one-third of Thais aged 60 and older expected to make up one-third of the population by 2040. SAIJAI’s caregivers have a wide range of experience, including cleaning, companionship, and mobility, as well as those with more specialized knowledge. Other sorts of support include accompanying the elderly to Bumrungrad Hospital for medical appointments, taking a walk in Lumpini Park, or shopping at CentralWorld. Despite predictions that the country would witness a significant increase in the number of assisted living and nursing homes, COVID-19 proved to be a game-changer. While many Thais have traditionally lived and grown up in multigenerational households with…

Thailand intends to reduce this ratio to 12 per 100,000 by 2027. According to the World Health Organization, Thailand has the tenth highest road death rate in the world, with 32.7 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. The goal of “Vision Zero” is to eradicate all road deaths and serious injuries by 2050. Sweden came up with the Vision Zero concept, which has now become a policy aim for other nations with high traffic fatality rates. Cars filmed dashboard films of other vehicles exceeding traffic limits during Thailand’s Songkran holiday’s “7 Dangerous Days,” when the number of road deaths typically soars. PM Prayut accepts that meeting the 2050 objective will be difficult, but believes it can be accomplished if everyone works together. Last week, Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha stated that his goal is to reduce Thailand’s road deaths by half by 2027. The Royal Thai Police cooperated with a number of…
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.

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.

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…

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,…
