Is There a Chance That Cannabis Will Be Reclassified as a Narcotic?

According to Deputy Prime Minister Wisanu, the ONCB may inquire about the concerns of the cabinet and other parties, and may also request assistance from the Ministry of Public Health in presenting explanations for any difficulties that may arise as a consequence of the investigation’s findings. Due to the fact that the board does not possess the necessary jurisdiction, the ministerial pronouncements cannot be postponed, suspended, or changed.

A district in the northeast of Thailand is hosting a two-month “Christmas Festival”

In recent years, there has been a rise in the number of tourists traveling to explore the flower-rich regions of Thailand. Because there are so many pink lotuses, the lake and swamp of Bueng Boraphet, which is located in the northern region of the province of Nakhon Sawan, are becoming increasingly alluring to visitors. The region of Bueng Boraphet which is today home to a thriving lotus industry spans more than 100 rai. Those who have an interest in flora may contract the services of a private boat operator in order to have a better look at the lotuses.

They are mostly going to the Khun Yuam district so that they can witness the stunning Dok Bua Tong blossoms, which are sometimes…

Asia has a slower rate of international tourism than other regions

Tourism in Thailand may be on the rise, but compared to other regions of the world, Southeast Asia has had a much lower return rate among international visitors. The tourist industry has fully recovered in a number of Europe’s most popular vacation locations, with some even establishing new records. Nevertheless, Asia is losing behind because of the progressive loosening of Covid-19 restrictions. The projected date for the initial full reopening of Thailand’s border is November 1, 2021, more than a year after initial preparations for the restoration of the border began. During those times, travel was difficult and expensive. In addition to the quarantines and the Thailand Pass, several Covid tests were conducted. All pandemic restrictions were finally lifted at the start of the prior month, a very new development. Officials projected that the refurbished attraction, which reopened in November of last year, will have 15 million visitors this year.…

Nan’s Road 3 has been a picture-perfect destination in recent years

As a result of the recent surge in popularity of the stunning road as a destination for tourists, the path has not yet been overrun by merchants offering a variety of goods to tourists, including food and beverages as well as mementos. Pavements in the neighborhood have been upgraded by the government, and efforts have been made to maintain the surrounding area tidy. There aren’t any obstructions to the vistas or the road, but there are a few restaurants hidden away where tourists may relax and have a meal. Even though the route is becoming increasingly popular and attracts a growing number of visitors, the hills continue to provide opportunities for people to observe and photograph the way the road carves its way through the gorgeous hillside. Cars pull over to the side of the road and out of the way of the scenery so that people with properly timed…

PM Prayut anticipates a tourism surge as a result of hosting APEC

When attempting to pick where to spend our time off during the holidays, it’s likely that all of us have a similar train of thought: “what would APEC do?” The recently concluded Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Bangkok is expected, in the opinion of Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, to have a significant positive impact on the country’s worldwide tourism industry. After seeing Thailand highlighted as part of the APEC Summit, an official spokeswoman for the government stated today that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha hopes that more international tourists will be interested in visiting Thailand as a result. After a meeting with the Royal Family on Friday and the closing ceremony with the formal leaders’ proclamation, the organization’s Economic Leaders week just finished off yesterday. But despite the fact that tourists probably do not choose their vacation spots based on which political conferences are held there, Thailand made it…

Next week, Pattaya will host the International Fireworks Festival

Because of the regulations that were put in place by Covid-19, only a certain number of participants were allowed to take part in the event in both 2020 and 2021. However, at this point in time, city officials in Pattaya anticipate that the festival will return with an attendance that is far higher than in years past. The organizers of the festival have stated that one of their goals is to make this year’s event one that will be remembered by incorporating, among other things, musical performances and cultural activities.
