57 churches have been permitted in majority-Buddhist Thailand. There are currently 60 religious endorsements. By 2021, the Thai Cabinet required churches to have 200 active contributors as well as a resident priest. Of Thailand’s 69 million inhabitants, 5% identify as Catholic in 2019. A Pattaya-based Christian organization provided food to stranded Russian and Ukrainian immigrants in April. Despite the small number of Christians in Thailand, their philanthropic work has a big influence. To begin discussing Thailand’s religion, it is useful to note that there are three churches. Several of Thailand’s most prestigious educational institutions are run by Christians, demonstrating the significance of religion in Thai culture. Three Catholic churches in Thailand were recognized this week for promoting religious tolerance. The reward, according to Thailand’s minister of culture, would “promote and foster faiths.” I want them to study and live like Christians, he declared in front of the public. The Ministry…

These rules were established last year in reaction to widely circulated images of tourists damaging delicate coral near the Pattaya island of Koh Larn. Authorities have adopted a number of measures to safeguard Pattaya’s marine life in response to damage to coral reefs. When the reefs were put in, a sizable group of ornamental fish and baby fish happily entered their new environment, according to Kiattisak. If the rules are implemented, there will be clearly marked areas where people can wander underwater. The Marine Resources Conservation Office’s director claims that if the new rules are put into place, they may completely deter people from wanting to go sea walking. Coral should not be present in particular regions, if at all possible. If it isn’t possible to build complete zones free of coral, divers won’t be able to approach a reef within five meters. If officials can come up with a…
We describe the current cannabis environment in Thailand, however there may be differences between it and reality. In Thailand, Chinese marijuana users will have leftovers in their urine, blood, saliva, and hair. Chinese people who smoke in Thailand could run into legal issues and be punished for drug misuse if they are drug tested in China. In the past two months, 60 persons experienced acute cannabis side effects, according to the health ministry (from June 6 to Aug 16). The consequences of losing one person each day were catastrophic, but Thailand has 70 million inhabitants. There are limits. According to Article 357 of the PRC Criminal Law, cannabis cultivation, possession, and consumption are all prohibited. The law penalizes anyone who misrepresents cannabis plant parts as herbs. The law forbids the selling of cannabis in parks, schools, dormitories, and places of worship. Parks, restaurants, and temples are now smoke-free areas. The…

The PVS will guarantee that the passenger screening process is efficient and accurate and will prevent unauthorized individuals…

Many people discover that getting a new passport or renewing an old one is required. They usually deal with 700 to 900 passports per day.

The Cannabis industry in Thailand has seen a lot of exciting developments during the last few weeks. The Department of Thai Traditional and Complementary Medicine has already begun issuing licenses for retail, export to other countries, and conducting medical research. The number of people who have registered to grow cannabis in Thailand on the PlookGanja website, which is managed by the FDA, has already topped one million.

289 of the MPs in attendance voted in favor, one abstained, and one opposed. The bill will go a long way toward preventing the kind of political dissidents and pro-democracy activists who have recently disappeared in Thailand, like Wanchalearm Satsaksit, in the future. Wanchalearm was taken hostage by armed guys on June 4 of last year in front of the Mekong Garden Apartment in Phnom Penh. The previous lack of legislation was in conflict with Thailand’s signing of the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2007 and the International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance in 2012. The Rights and Liberties Protection Department’s proposed law aims to protect those who uphold the law while simultaneously discouraging officials from doing so. The proposed law will be presented to His Majesty the King and become operative 120 days after it…

Thai students will be among the first to return to China when it reopens, China’s envoy said last year. Han directed his education counselors to help Thai students and Chinese schools accomplish their academic goals. The mainland allows some students in while keeping its 0% Covid-19 policy, but it hasn’t eased it. Before they can traverse the streets or enter a school, students must spend seven days in isolation and three days monitoring their health at home.Only South Korea has more international students than Thailand. Foreign nationals with a valid Chinese study permit or APEC business travel card can enter China starting today, the Chinese embassy in the US stated on WeChat.
