In order to increase the caliber and security of the city’s street food, the project team met with the governor of Bangkok at City Hall. The 56-year-old police chief of the city claims that there are three different types of marketplaces where street food can be found in Bangkok: local or community markets, city markets where office workers may purchase food, and tourist markets. Anong continued by saying that the governor’s new initiative will make it more comfortable for people to eat both Thai and foreign street cuisine. Anong Phaijutprapaporn, director of the National Cuisine Institution, claims that despite being well-known, Thai street food raises concerns about sanitation. Chadchart thinks it is critical that safety rules be followed by people buying food from the city’s street stalls and marketplaces now that the majority of employees are back at their workplaces and almost all home working has ended.

While it lasted, a new resolution banning cannabis cigarettes was amusing #2

The National Tobacco Products Control Committee proposed the resolution, which would outlaw the sale of cannabis-infused traditional cigarettes, cigars, and joints in addition to electronic cigarettes and vapes. The ban would severely curtail the recreational use of cannabis, which has become widespread due to the one million people who have obtained licenses to cultivate, trade, or consume the plant, as well as the proliferation of shops and stands selling joints and other cannabis products across the nation, particularly in tourist hotspots. Last month, Thailand decriminalized cannabis cultivation, sales, possession, and use, with very little guidelines or procedures in place to govern the newly authorized narcotic. Anutin added a statement to emphasize that the government and the Ministry of Public Health have always opposed cannabis use for recreational purposes and that the concept was never specifically addressed in the original draft bill that resulted in the drug’s decriminalization.

A chain of Thai restaurants now uses robot servers

Inflation this year has caused prices for a variety of goods to soar both in Thailand and globally. The chain’s prices have only slightly increased, according to Vitoon Silaon, the company’s chief executive, despite a 30-40% increase in operational expenditures in the first half of this year. Even if individuals are currently being careful about their purchasing, according to Vitoon, S&P wants to keep its customers. Bakery goods are typically not the most essential items in people’s life, he noted. Thailand’s Central Committee on the Price of Goods and Services will maintain the prices on the 46 products frozen until the end of June of the next year, according to Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit’s statement in June. S&P is also updating its dining establishments to keep up its momentum. The servers at a chain of Thai restaurants are now robots. Robotics are being used by S&P, a network of bakeries…

A fine of no more than 2,000 Baht will be imposed on anyone who…

Red curry paste and coconut milk are used to make Khao Soi soup. Depending on how much curry paste is used, the heat level fluctuates.

Banned sellers have relocated in front of Na Jomtien Beach

While some vendors may still be unhappy about having to relocate, it’s good news for visitors and travelers who can now enjoy the golden beaches without having to dodge booths, chairs, tables, and dispersed trash. Without clogging up the beach, they can purchase food and beverages from the sellers, go sit on a mat or beach chair, and take in the beach vibes. On June 27, local authorities made the decision to forbid any local vendors from erecting their businesses on the beach. However, they also pledged to find a suitable spot for the hawkers and peddlers who would be adversely affected by the decision.

On one incident, entry to South Korea was refused to 110 Thai nationals

10,377 Thai nationals who were discovered to be working illegally in South Korea were deported in only 2022. 10,000 Thai citizens have visited South Korea after the country “reopened” during the outbreak. 50 percent of them—or more than 5,000—have been turned away and sent home, according to the Daily News. Although the Korea Times did not specify if the Thais who were turned away had a K-ETA or the appropriate visa, it is probably safe to infer that 110 passengers on one trip weren’t sufficiently unprepared to possess neither. Therefore, it is unknown why they were denied admittance. The Korea Times reported yesterday that 110 Thai tourists traveling on a single flight were refused admission to the South Korean island of Jeju and deported back to Thailand. According to sources, a startling 50% of all Thais entering South Korea have been turned away at the border since Korea’s post-pandemic “reopening”…
