On Boxing Day 2004, a 9.1–9.3 magnitude Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami wreaked havoc on 14 countries. Around 230,000 people died as a result, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded. Indian authorities just recovered one of the buoys in the Indian Ocean after losing contact with it on October 22 of last year. According to the agency, the buoys will be replaced in November when the weather improves. After losing touch with the department on Thursday, June 9, the agency is seeking to recover a second buoy that sank into the Andaman Sea. The tsunami wreaked havoc on the coastal regions of Phang Nga and Phuket. The film The Impossible, released in 2012, is based on the true story of a family on holiday in Khao Lak, Thailand, when the tsunami hit. To evaluate whether a tsunami is approaching, Thailand uses data from the National Oceanic…

News anchors have also pushed for the no-mask rule, and will use see-through walls to keep themselves separated from their viewers. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, according to NBTC member Pirongrong Ramasoota, will push for a no-mask restriction for game and variety television program shots at the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration meeting next week. The social-distancing strategies and risk management systems used by production crews will be improved as well. Requests for not wearing face masks, antigen testing, and temperature checks will be among the changes. During a meeting with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the NBTC will present proposals from television companies before submitting them to the CCSA for approval next week. Actors in drama presentations, as well as actors in other shows, should be permitted to remove their face masks. The broadcasting sector has prioritized healthcare, according to Diao Woratangtrakul, secretary of the association…

According to local media, the zig-zag lines on Chaiyaphruek Road in Chon Buri’s Bang Lamung District cover roughly 15-20 meters. Locals in Pattaya have been surprised by the new zig-zag lines painted on the roads. On a Facebook page named Pattaya Talk, a local man from Pattaya posted photos of the zig-zag lines and wondered what they were for. So much so that a man wondered what they were after seeing photos of them on social media last week. When the man was learning to drive, he had never seen any zig-zag marks. Others joked that the lines were drawn so that drivers would travel in a zig-zag pattern. Pitsinee Kuleksoracha, a Policy and Plan Analyst at the Pattaya City Technician Office’s Traffic and Transport Department, explained the situation, saying that the zig-zags are actually meant to warn vehicles to slow down. The markings are supposed to warn drivers to…

Morbakka fenneri, the “fire jellyfish,” gets its name from its painful sting, not from its pinkish-red colour. Yesterday, tens of thousands of tiny yet dangerous fire jellyfish washed up on Hong Island in Krabi’s Than Bok Khorani National Park. The jellyfish is likely to have arrived on the island due to a shift in wind direction. Weerasak Sisatchang, the national park’s director, warned that fire jellyfish are extremely dangerous, and that being stung by one might cause terrible pain or even death if an allergic reaction arises. Apply vinegar to the injured region as soon as possible if you’ve been stung by a fire jellyfish. After enormous amounts of “fire jellyfish” washed up on the beach in Krabi, southern Thailand, red flags were posted yesterday to warn tourists not to swim. The fire jellyfish will die in 1–2 days, according to park guards. Visitors to Hong Island will be able…

According to Rungruang Kitphati, the Head of the Ministry of Public Health’s Health Technical Office, temperature checks were one of the first Covid screening techniques because the most common symptom of most patients was a high fever. The Ministry of Public Health will recommend to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration that temperature measurement equipment and checkpoints are removed from all Thai airports and other sites since there is no proof that they reduce the transmission of coronavirus. As a result, temperature measurement devices and temperature checkpoints were installed across the country. Last year, Singapore discontinued temperature inspections, and the US and Canada did not even promote them, so Rungruang believes it is time for Thailand to follow suit. The administration will propose eliminating the temperature checkpoints at the next CCSA conference, according to Rungruang. He went on to stress that the ministry would continue to advocate booster doses, wearing…

Apart from infrastructure, Thepthai stated that lawful entertainment complexes would be welcomed by communities. Residents want the area to flourish at the same rate as Myawaddy, Myanmar, where many Chinese investors run casinos, according to him. Land is rare in this area, and land is expensive. According to Thepthai, the entertainment complex would require 1,000 to 2,000 acres, and because the vast majority of the land is owned by the Treasury Department, it is unlikely to be sold to a private company. Additionally, because many of the workers in the Mae Sot district are from neighboring nations, the area would require skill development institutes to train Thai personnel in casino service in order for the business to succeed. The findings of the report, on the other hand, were not entirely positive. Mae Sot is said to have three major issues, according to Thepthai. The government’s tax collection is also a…

Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) went into effect on June 1st. Then, two weeks ago, there was a story about a woman who avoided photographing burglars because she was afraid of being sued by the thieves for “sharing their personal information” under the PDPA. Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn, Thailand’s Minister of Digital Economy and Society, is advising crime witnesses that sharing images or videos of the occurrences via online channels ‘may’ violate the country’s new Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). As a result, Chaiwut clarified the legislation and stated that this instance did not fit under its purview. He argued that there was no need to be concerned because the act was introduced to protect people and their personal information. He also stated that posting photographs or films that inadvertently contain others was not prohibited as long as the users did not intend to disparage those individuals. According to the minister,…
