The recommended names from astronomers must be submitted by October 7th.

Following the Ministry of Interior’s suggestion to enable small hotels to operate more readily as homestays, a coalition of hotel organisations is urging a relaxation of building laws that have rendered 20,000 small hotels illegal. Ten hotel and tourism organizations asked the prime minister to modify some regulations for smaller hotels that can’t afford to rebuild. As Thailand’s tourism economy recovers, some provincial governments have closed unregistered hotels. But not all were shady. Many people were trapped since the structures they were staying in couldn’t pass hotel licensing tests. Business and government have been negotiating this issue since December, but the prime minister’s office has not yet responded. The group wants these rules halted while they’re addressed. Small hotels are just starting to benefit from the post-pandemic tourism resurgence, they say. According to the president of the Khao San Road Business Association, small hotels can’t comply with building standards and…

Anucha Burapachaisi, a spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, stated yesterday during a news conference in Thailand that 203 new water pumps would be purchased with the 664 million baht budget.

More than 10 Thai provinces, including Rayong, Ayutthaya, and Pathum Thani, were under water yesterday.

The budget for the fiscal year 2022 was left at roughly ten billion baht, and the most of it was set aside for water management, according to the PM’s Office. When the projects are finished, more than 1,400 acres of land and 542 households in Thailand will benefit. Interior Ministry and Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.…

The administration just reiterated its steadfast opposition to electronic cigarettes last week. Ekniti announced that the department will increase taxes on all types of alcohol starting in the fiscal year 2023 in order to combat drunkenness among Thailand’s youth. Unless Thailand soon makes vaping legal. He said that the price rise was necessary because young Thais were increasingly binge drinking in order to reduce alcohol consumption and improve overall public health. KhaoSod claims that Ekniti also announced an increase in the fee on e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes are not allowed in Thailand, thus it is unclear how the tax would be applied to “vapes” or if it has already been implemented. Given his declaration that the agency will start charging for beer with 0% alcohol, Ekniti’s concern for the general public’s health is, at best, questionable. The majority of e-cigarette users—more than half—are young people, according to Anutin Charnvirakul, a pro-marijuana health…
