A recent forecast suggested that the kingdom might only receive 1.2 million foreign visitors this year, which fell short of the 1.5 million target. The extra money, which the administration is referring to as “a booster shot budget,” would be used to reach the 1.5 million target and bring in more foreign tourists. Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, the minister of tourism and sports, said yesterday that his office anticipates receiving a 2 billion baht “booster shot budget” to promote Thai tourism this year after complaining to the prime minister. According to the tourism and sports minister, “This man, Danucha, has never sanctioned a budget for the Tourism and Sports Ministry.” Phiphat revealed that after being turned down by the individual in charge of allocating more funds, the Director of the Covid-19 Loan Screening Committee, Danucha Pitchayanan, he went to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and asked for the extra money.

Thailand showcased its strong international ties by maintaining cordial relations with both China and the US. Tanee Sangrat of the foreign ministry stated her hope that the two countries involved in the Taiwan Strait will settle their differences amicably. The outcome was quite close to what was expected. As part of its foreign policy, the US appears to routinely meddle in the internal affairs of other countries. The most recent is the US’s engagement in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The US’s support of the “One China” policy and Taiwan’s inclusion in China only serve to highlight how absurd it is. In response to Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, the Chinese embassy in Thailand released a statement calling on Thailand, which it described as a “strategic cooperating partner,” to maintain its adherence to the “One China” policy ever since the two countries’ establishment of diplomatic relations in 1975. Whatever your…
