After cannabis was decriminalized, the street vendors of Pattaya could be the next target in the ongoing battle to bring cannabis sales under control. The police are informing market and street vendors that they cannot sell cannabis products without a license and are issuing a warning. The caveat is that permits can only be obtained by businesses with a physical location, which pop-up stands lack. This is a requirement for acquiring a license. According to a report published yesterday night in The Pattaya News, police officers have informed street vendors that they will be asked to leave Pattaya Walking Street if they cannot present a valid license. The chief of police in Pattaya highlighted that since cannabis is a controlled narcotic, only vendors with the proper permissions are permitted to sell the drug. In June, when cannabis was ultimately decriminalized and made lawful, relatively few regulations and prohibitions also became…

The Royal Thai Embassy as well as its Consulates-General in 23 other countries have started providing electronic visa services to the local communities in those nations.

Now, a number of government institutions are emphasizing the country of Thailand’s spectacular temple architecture and extensive cultural heritage. A new tour in Bangkok called “Hidden Temples” is responsible for funding the restoration of 17 temples in southern Thailand.

Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is attempting to lure more Thai tourists in 2019, capitalizing on the region’s overall tourism growth. The head of the Marketing and Attraction Division under Jakarta’s Department of Tourism and Creative Economy praised the merits of Indonesia’s most populated city as a tourist and business travel destination worthy of consideration. Jakarta has long been regarded as the “heart” of Indonesia, the “main international hub” for tourists from all over the world, and the “business core” of the country. Although East Kalimantan’s Nusantara may soon become the new administrative capital of Indonesia, it is likely that Jakarta will continue to operate in this role for the foreseeable future. Even though the virus halted tourism during that time, the Chief of Marketing and Attractions declared that Jakarta’s economic growth continued unabated. “Instead of being compelled to reset by the pandemic, Jakarta developed on its foundations, resulting in…
The legal deckchair touts in Patong have requested that the local authorities increase the number of available chairs and umbrellas by a factor of two. They argue that the current quantity is insufficient to meet the demand for their services on Phuket’s Patong Beach. As part of a new strategy to restrict the activities of approximately sixty small-scale operators along Patong Beach as a whole, the beachfront area that they are allowed to use has been reduced to just 10%. There have been allegations that “some people” are blocking views of the beach and the ocean. Patong Beach, which is populated by wide-eyed tourists interested in looking at the very ordinary daytime vista, is not exactly a beauty spot, at least not in the traditional sense. Patong Beach is located in Phuket, Thailand. It has never been made clear who these complainers are or what their motivations are for making…
Every passenger was required to stay the night in Phuket as the jet touched down at exactly 01:00 in the morning. In addition, there were another two hundred passengers who were awaiting a flight from Novosibirsk to Thailand who was also left stranded. The unique route taken by the plane has not been addressed in any official announcements made by Phuket International Airport or Azur Air, nor has the airline informed the general public about the incident. It flew over the Koh Yao islands in Phang Nga Bay, which is located to the east of Phuket, on many occasions before continuing its journey into the Andaman Sea. There, it continued to do so in a cyclical rhythm for close to an hour before deviating from the pattern, traveling to the south and then returning to the pattern. After circling for a further 40 minutes, the airplane flew back over the…
