According to Rungruang Kitphati, the Head of the Ministry of Public Health’s Health Technical Office, temperature checks were one of the first Covid screening techniques because the most common symptom of most patients was a high fever. The Ministry of Public Health will recommend to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration that temperature measurement equipment and checkpoints are removed from all Thai airports and other sites since there is no proof that they reduce the transmission of coronavirus. As a result, temperature measurement devices and temperature checkpoints were installed across the country. Last year, Singapore discontinued temperature inspections, and the US and Canada did not even promote them, so Rungruang believes it is time for Thailand to follow suit. The administration will propose eliminating the temperature checkpoints at the next CCSA conference, according to Rungruang. He went on to stress that the ministry would continue to advocate booster doses, wearing…

Apart from infrastructure, Thepthai stated that lawful entertainment complexes would be welcomed by communities. Residents want the area to flourish at the same rate as Myawaddy, Myanmar, where many Chinese investors run casinos, according to him. Land is rare in this area, and land is expensive. According to Thepthai, the entertainment complex would require 1,000 to 2,000 acres, and because the vast majority of the land is owned by the Treasury Department, it is unlikely to be sold to a private company. Additionally, because many of the workers in the Mae Sot district are from neighboring nations, the area would require skill development institutes to train Thai personnel in casino service in order for the business to succeed. The findings of the report, on the other hand, were not entirely positive. Mae Sot is said to have three major issues, according to Thepthai. The government’s tax collection is also a…
Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) went into effect on June 1st. Then, two weeks ago, there was a story about a woman who avoided photographing burglars because she was afraid of being sued by the thieves for “sharing their personal information” under the PDPA. Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn, Thailand’s Minister of Digital Economy and Society, is advising crime witnesses that sharing images or videos of the occurrences via online channels ‘may’ violate the country’s new Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). As a result, Chaiwut clarified the legislation and stated that this instance did not fit under its purview. He argued that there was no need to be concerned because the act was introduced to protect people and their personal information. He also stated that posting photographs or films that inadvertently contain others was not prohibited as long as the users did not intend to disparage those individuals. According to the minister,…
According to National Security Council Secretary-General Supoj Malaniyom, any requested revisions would be debated by the CCSA’s operations center before being forwarded to the CCSA’s main committee. The CCSA welcomes fresh ideas and comments from a range of sources for improving the present Covid regulations. The Ministry of Public Health has a clear plan and timeframe in place for when and how the face mask restriction will be abolished, and coronavirus will be declared an epidemic outbreak.

Before any suggestions to expand reopening to other provinces are considered, any difficulties with the current reopening arrangement must be overcome. Adapting the color-coded Covid concept and relaxing the restrictions for nightclubs will be among the options discussed. The ministry is creating new standards…

Thailand is the first country in South-East Asia to take steps to decriminalize cannabis cultivation and usage, despite the region’s reputation for harsh, often draconian drug regulations. Thailand’s new cannabis regulations have made headlines all over the world, with CNN, Fox News, Australia’s ABC, and pretty much everyone else reporting on them. However, once readers get past the headline, the details present a more nuanced picture of what the recent “legalization” implies.“Thailand became the first Asian country to legalize cannabis on Thursday, but the minister who championed the reform says heavy punishments would still apply to individuals who use the drug to get high.” CNN, for example“The government has stated that it is solely pushing cannabis for medical purposes, cautioning individuals who want to smoke for pleasure that doing so in public might result in a three-month term and a fine of 25,000 Thai baht (about $780).” And if the…
Taopiphop was charged with making craft beer without a license in 2017. He suggested that he run for Parliament and immediately modify the law. The 33-year-old gentleman has kept his word. The Progressive Liquor Bill, which allows municipal governments to convert agricultural goods into alcoholic beverages, could be viewed as a step toward economic equality.

According to Pita Limjaroenrat, leader of the Move Forward party, if passed into law, the proposal, combined with the Marriage Equality Bill, will pave the way for positive improvements in Thailand. Following the vote, the bill’s proponent, Taopiphop Limjittrakorn, was applauded by a big crowd. The significant legislation aims to break the monopoly of corporate brewers and…

Minor hiccups are now becoming a major issue in the processing of British passports in the United Kingdom. It’s been in the headlines a lot recently in the UK, and it’s now affecting a lot of British expats in Thailand.

Apart from traffic and lighting difficulties, Narit wants the government to close the street to autos to protect tourist safety. Business owners on Pattaya Walking Street have accused the authorities of creating a public nuisance and sullying the city’s reputation due to an unfinished road reconstruction project. If the Pattaya Walking Street Business Association wants to maintain its public image, the road must be completed faster than the current schedule and more street lights installed. On Wednesday, Narit Petcharat, president of the Pattaya Walking Street Business Association, met with a group of business owners to discuss the unfinished road work. In January, Pattaya officials announced that 80 percent of the rehabilitation of Pattaya Walking Street, overseen by former city mayor Sontaya Klunpluem, had been completed. The project’s suspension, according to Narit, is due to a local election issue. A mayoral election was held in Pattaya on May 22, however the…
