In order to facilitate people’s ability to learn more about HIV and AIDS, request a free test, and request medication, Ratchada announced that the Division of AIDS and STDs would establish a formal account on the Line application called “Stand by you.” The Thai government has set aside a budget of roughly 4 million baht to address the issue since it believes that children in Thailand are more susceptible to STDs and HIV infection than adults.Teenagers would consequently become more knowledgeable about the dangers posed by the diseases.

The Thai Cabinet authorized a nearly 1.6 billion dollar budget on September 7 to address Thailand’s ongoing flood issues. According to reports, water levels in certain regions rose to approximately 30 centimeters, which caused traffic issues, especially for tiny vehicles. In the flood, numerous electrical items suffered damage. A ten million baht damage estimate has been made. 664 million baht has been designated for new water pumps, while 912 million baht has been set aside for water management throughout the wet and dry seasons. Floods are causing devastation all around Thailand, and recently, the eastern part of the country has seen a lot of damage. Due to the village’s proximity to a canal, the water level there rose to 50–60 centimeters. The extensive amount of waste in the canal that blocked the drainage system contributed to the flood in addition to the severe rain. A representative of the Chonburi Province’s…

Despite the controversy, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is in discussions with BTS. It is difficult to integrate transportation providers with alternatives for public transportation. The BTSC has been considering combining Rabbit Card, a ticket that covers all means of transportation, with ticketing systems for some time. After the Pink and Yellow lines open, a new joint card might be used. While OTP focuses on one ticket, other collaborations continue. The companies are negotiating a combined MRT/BTS ticket. If the proposed legislation is passed, commuters and users of Bangkok transit will benefit from having a single card for all modes of transportation. Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob would submit the suggestion for final approval and ratification to the Cabinet, Council of State, and Parliament if the panel approves a single Bangkok public transportation ticket. Bangkok’s traffic could get less complicated if the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning has its…

Staff from Hat Noppharat Thara – Mu Koh Phi Phi National Park on Friday saw a group of about ten bottlenose dolphins in the southern part of Maya Bay. The three-year closure of Maya Bay was successful in reintroducing plant and animal species that had vanished as a result of visitor overpopulation. The blacktip shark is the most prominent animal to return to reproduce in the bay. It was “the most gorgeous site she had ever seen,” according to a German woman. August 1 marked the beginning of Maya Bay’s closure, which will last until September 30. Prior to that, it had reopened on January 1 following a 2018 closure. A park ranger told NPR in March that no one would ever consider seeing the local sharks before the park closed, when there may be over 6,000 visitors per day. He claimed that 160 sharks may be observed on a…

Because of the terrible flooding in the Rangsit area this week, an irrigation officer in the Thai province of Pathum Thani has been moved. Bowdaeng Takeew is in charge of the Southern Rangsit Operation and Maintenance Project. Thursday, the water in Rangsit rose to a dangerous level. Bowdaeng says that the replacement parts will be sent from outside the country and will arrive in about three days. The water level in the Rangsit Canal went from 1.78 meters in the morning to 1.8 meters in the afternoon, according to the district’s website. On the other hand, he said, water pumps made things easier. He told the RID to move faster with the draining. Nine of Rangsit’s twenty water pumps were not working. Even though no one is sure, it is thought that Bowdaeng moved because the project failed and caused a lot of flooding. A statement from the Royal Irrigation…

Travel sector workers were treated to an opening night extravaganza on the ferry, replete with an open bar, wonderful food, and live music. We don’t know how many weekly excursions there will be. When regular service begins, the ferry will travel from Sattahip’s Chuksamed Terminal to Koh Samui’s Nathon Pier. On Friday afternoon, the test flight left Pattaya and arrived on Koh Samui. Samui Cruise had a launch party after testing the new route between Koh Samui and Pattaya. Different seats, beds, and hotel kinds have different costs, but overnight accommodations cost approximately 3,000 baht. The Seahorse Ferry’s owners were thrilled to begin service. Even though there are no specific dates, service may begin later this month. It boasts reclining chairs, capsule beds, and first-class-style private suites, making it more like a cruise ship than a ferry. Each way takes 12 hours. Pattaya and Samui commence at 5 p.m., and…

According to the head of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, the country’s inclination to set rice prices unnecessarily high relative to its quality is the reason for the decline in the quantity of rice exported from Thailand. Charoen recently proposed establishing a “Rice Board” to enhance and develop new rice breeds. To meet customer demand, according to the president Charoen Laothamatas, new breeds must be developed. He asserted that the board members may develop regulations that are beneficial to all parties. During his four decades in the rice industry, he argued that Thailand had not developed any new rice kinds. Numerous innovative breeds have been discovered or produced by colleges and universities, but according to the speaker, they have not received the necessary development and support to be used for mass production and export. According to Charoen, the Thai government should give high priority to the development of a rice…
