For walk-in candidates who are at least 20 years old and have previously held a passport, automatic passport kiosks will also be accessible at both offices.

The website also displays the number of served and unfulfilled waits. The MBK Centre office can handle 1,000 applications everyday, but the Central Westgate office can only handle 500.

Automatic passport kiosks will also be available at both locations for walk-in applicants who are at least 20 years old and have held a passport in the past.

Patients with the Omicron variation of Covid-19 as opposed to the Delta variant exhibited noticeably fewer Long Covid symptoms, according to a new study published in the Lancet. Furthermore, it was found that Long Covid patients will gradually get better over time.People shouldn’t be alarmed by the rise of Long Covid patients, said Yong.

Teenagers love psilocybin mushrooms, or magic mushrooms. The Thai Narcotics Control Board will produce hallucinogenic magic mushroom medication to cure depression. The Narcotics Control Board will grow magic mushrooms in Khon Kaen and ask Thai institutions to participate. Somsak Thepsuthin, the justice minister, told the media that the Narcotics Control Board is researching the health advantages of magic mushrooms alongside Khon Kaen University in Isaan. Numerous studies suggest mushroom psilocybin could help alcoholism, insomnia, and depression. The Category 5 narcotic appears to cure cluster headaches, anxiety, anorexia, OCD, and drug addictions. Somsak projected that magic mushrooms, like Kratom, would be removed from Narcotics Category 5. Somsak said large pharmaceutical corporations in the U.S., U.K., and Thailand have applied for a patent to investigate magic mushrooms. Sellers face 2–15 years in prison and fines of 200,000-1.5 million baht. Infringers could face 20,000 Baht penalties, a year in jail, or both. According…
Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health of Thailand, and the minister of public health of Malaysia are scheduled to meet to discuss Thailand’s process for legalizing medical marijuana. Recently, Anutin met with the Thai ambassador to Malaysia to discuss the future tour of his counterpart. Similar regulations to those Thailand adopted to permit the use of cannabis for medical purposes in that nation are currently being considered in Malaysia. Anutin’s party had fought for the legalization of cannabis but then withdrew its support, claiming that they had only only intended it for medical purposes. Cannabis consumption in public and in settings where it shouldn’t be ingested is eventually subject to limitations and laws. This week, new regulations are anticipated to be ratified by the parliament and then submitted for royal assent. Patients can now rely on cannabis treatment with confidence, and medical professionals can publicly prescribe cannabis-based medications. Although…
Rohypnol induces drowsiness and blackouts. The drug’s 20-30-minute effects endure 8-12 hours. In some nations, it’s a sleeping medicine. Thai insomniacs take Rohypnol. It’s not in pharmacies. A 25-year-old man shot his friend in Bangkok after taking rohypnol. Blue tongues should be reported to police. Online Rohypnol may be cut with other drugs. Teens buy drugs online using the hashtag. Many women report being raped after drinking Rohypnol. Drug “knocks out” victims, leaving them vulnerable to rape, burglary, etc. In Thailand, Rohypnol is colored to deter misuse. Pharmaceutical companies made the pill green/blue so the color would change if it was mixed with a drink. Rohypnol is a psychotropic drug that requires a prescription, according to Thailand’s FDA. Rohypnol is a Type 2 psychoactive substance in Thailand. You face 3 years in prison and/or a 60,000 baht fine without a prescription. Thai teens post photos and videos of their blue…
The mishmash of yes and no regarding the handling and prosecution of cannabis is to put it mildly bewildering, despite the fact that roughly a million people have now been granted licenses to sell cannabis. Smoking in public can also be penalized as a nuisance. Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health, has called for the arrest of marijuana dealers on Khao San Road after his political party lobbied for its legalization and later complained that they had expected everyone would only consume it for medicinal grounds. Wasan Boonmuenwai, the district head of Phra Nakhon, has asked police to pursue anyone who sells marijuana on Khao San Road in Bangkok, making it clear that sellers there are not permitted to lawfully sell the drug. The poster allegedly smoked cannabis on a tourist street and ended up getting quite unwell, according to accounts on social media, she added. Four of the…

One of Thailand’s top virologists expects that by year’s end, nearly everyone will have Covid-19. Most people will have Covid within three years, like influenza. Yong Poovorawan, chief of Chulalongkorn University’s Clinical Virology Centre, predicted this using current and past data. Before the third Covid wave last year, he projected another wave or two and two years until herd immunity stopped the virus. Since most new infections are minor, scientists think most go undiscovered, and 2,000 to 3,000 daily hospitalizations suggest tens of thousands everyday. The daily death toll is 20 to 30. The first human-to-human transmission in Thailand occurred in a taxi driver in late January 2020. Coronavirus avoidance may be futile. Yesterday, the Ministry of Health reported 2,316 new Covid infections and 35 deaths. Dr. Yong believes medical care and immunizations kept death tolls down while the Coronavirus became less deadly, but the epidemic persisted longer. Epidemics like…
