Additionally, shops who illegitimately modify automobiles risk receiving two-thirds of the fine. The law threatens to fine drivers between 5,000 and 10,000 baht and/or sentence them to up to three months in jail if they engage in racing, illegally modify their cars, or otherwise act suspiciously. Pick-up trucks can only carry a certain number of passengers in the rear bed and require the driver and front-seat passengers to use seat belts. The Royal Thai Police and other relevant organizations are still debating how many people should be permitted to ride in pickup trucks’ backseats. Beginning on December 4, strict rules governing the number of people in the back of trucks and the use of car seats for children under the age of six will be put into effect. The new penalties under the amendment are as follows: • Up to 4,000 Baht in fines for breaking the speed limit, running…

The Walking Roadway resurfacing project will cost 30 million baht and will make the street more attractive, well-kept, and family-friendly. Monach says 95% of the project is done; varnishing and painting remain. Walking Street was resurfaced with pavement blocks after the digging to make it more beautiful. Regional artists will paint murals on the boulevard. Pattaya City Council Chairman Bunlue Kullavanich said the Walking Street resurfacing project was 27% complete in June. Local business owners accused the government of ruining the city’s reputation by producing a public nuisance. Former mayor Sontaya said the project’s goals are to attract “all ages” and improve the redlight district route. He said resurfacing is 95% complete, excluding street art. Street-blocking ads must be removed or moved within three months. Manoch said the road was in worse shape before wires and pipes were buried. Officials have made contradictory assertions about Walking Street’s change. Pattaya’s former…

To help farmers climb coconut trees without using monkeys, the Agriculture Department invented a device. In two minutes, 15 seconds to three minutes, a farmer could ascend a coconut tree. The system they developed in response to PETA’s findings to produce healthy agricultural practices, including monkey-free coconut farming, is a more feasible solution than selling little coconut tree sprouts. Although there aren’t any robots picking the coconuts, Thailand’s coconut industry is getting closer to automation. A farmer’s legs are strapped onto the device, which adds 5 kg to each. Three manufacturers are now producing the invention of the Agriculture Department. To order the system from the Agricultural Engineering Research Institute, interested farmers should dial (02) 579 2757. The Agriculture Department anticipated that negative publicity from animal rights activists would damage Thailand’s coconut export sector, according to the department’s director-general. When collecting coconuts from trees two years ago, PETA claimed that…

The inspectors mostly examined the fire exits and fire fighting equipment to see if they adhered to safety regulations. Some locations, they claimed, just had one fire escape, which wasn’t enough for a safe evacuation. The famed Pattaya Walking Street continues to make headlines. On Monday at around 4 am on Walking Street, a gang of street vendors beat a “European tourist” with a metal chair after he allegedly failed to pay for his lunch. Officials claim that several entrances were blocked, making it challenging to flee the building swiftly in the case of a fire. However, inspections revealed that many of the fire exits were “not viable.” The authorities did not single out any particular venues, but they did state that all venues that did not pass the inspection would need to make the required adjustments and upgrades to their areas before they could reopen to Walking Street revelers.…

The monsoon season is already well started in Thailand, so as a welcome gift to the island, each guest was given a waterproof rucksack. On the day of the Vietnamese flag carrier’s inaugural flight to Phuket, the auditing firm Deloitte Vietnam published a report that raised questions about the airline’s capacity to continue operations. The tourists will take part in activities organized by the Phuket Office of the Thailand Tourism Authority while they are there. Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City and Phuket International Airport will be connected every Thursday by a nonstop flight. In addition, the airline has already begun discussing measures to cancel the purchase of four Boeing B787 and Airbus A320 aircraft with suppliers. Vietnam Airlines’ first flight from Ho Chi Minh City landed at Phuket International Airport with 161 people on board. There aren’t any tickets available for purchase on this route…

In Phuket’s largest city, food poisoning was discovered at a school on August 19. The Darasamuth Phuket School’s director asserted that the water system was to blame for yesterday’s disaster (Wednesday). Coliform bacteria are present in the feces of all warm-blooded creatures, including humans.
