Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health, stated that his department is organizing airport screening and concentrating on travelers from nations that are dealing with an outbreak of monkeypox. Monkeypox, according to Anutin, is not nearly as dangerous or contagious as the Covid-19 pandemic that the globe recently experienced, but it is still crucial to try to stop its further spread. However, the government is pushing for proactive measures to stop the spread as well as testing and reporting potential infections, and health authorities are stepping up their educational efforts. There are now two confirmed cases of monkeypox in Thailand. In the first, a 27-year-old Nigerian man was diagnosed on July 18 in Phuket and fled the nation by swimming into Cambodia, where he was apprehended in Phnom Penh. Although no infections have been discovered thus far, 138 tourists from Africa and 2389 travelers from Europe will have been screened…

The sign that raised eyebrows was photographed and uploaded on Facebook, where it quickly gained popularity. Thailand is well-known for its stunning beaches, and the island of Ko Samae San in the province of Chon Buri is a tropical paradise jewel with stunning marine reserves and beaches to unwind on. Tourists from abroad and locally began to inquire as to why they were not permitted to enjoy the beaches while wearing bikinis. According to a Navy official, the island is intended for eco- and conservational tourism rather than for typical beachgoers to enjoy themselves carefree. So, a “No Bikini” sign was posted on the beach. Please respect our way of life. The island is looked after by the Royal Navy, which is committed to keeping it a popular spot for ecotourism. However, the Royal Thai Navy recently generated controversy when a picture of a sign prohibiting bikinis on the beaches…
Naresuan University researchers are investigating the monkeypox virus in wastewater at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The second case of the virus in Thailand since the global pandemic began in May of this year has been discovered in a Thai guy in Bangkok. Testing wastewater could find local epidemics early because the virus can be discovered in feces long before symptoms show. Anutin Charnvirakul, the public health minister, announced at 2:30 p.m. that the Ministry of Health had verified the positive outcome from Bangkok’s Wachira Hospital. The Thai man, 47, first felt ill on July 12. Two days later, the patient developed a fever, aches all over their body, and swollen lymph nodes. A week later, the man went to the hospital for evaluation after developing a rash that covered his genitalia, body, face, and arms. Due to their regular interaction, 10 members of a Bangkok family are at a very high risk…

Travelers are making the most of their vacation time and are eager to visit both domestic and foreign places in Asia, according to Omri Morgenshtern, CEO of Agoda.

Thai travel aficionados applauded Agoda for connecting its booking data with the Thailand Pass system, which made the paperwork and pre-arrival processes more smoother, before Thailand’s entry…
[wpdiscuz-feedback id=”334_intro” question=”What do you think?” opened=”0″]Following the extension of the State of Emergency in Thailand the 60-day “Covid” visa extension application date has been extended by one additional month. The deadline was originally scheduled on July 25, but Thai Immigration discreetly updated the date to August 24th. (as they have continued to do in the past).[/wpdiscuz-feedback] One thing to note is that this is the first time they have reduced the order of the extension to only 1 month instead of 2 months. For the past two years the covid extensions have been following the emergency decree extensions, and this divergence may be signaling that this could be the last opportunity to obtain this type of extension. (note the actual visa extension remains 60 days) Those who are unable to return home because of the continuing Covid-19 crisis are eligible for a visa extension. Required Documents for Extension ฿1,900…

The new landmark for Phuket is being built with aid from the island’s provincial administration in an effort to draw both Thai and foreign tourists.

Some regions received about 100 millimeters of rain in an hour. There are 94 millimeters per hour in Phrakhanong (Sukhumvit). Thawee Wattana (Sukhumvit/Asoke region) received 88 millimeters per hour, while Saphan Sung (15 km east of the city center) received 92 millimeters per hour (143 mm overnight) (130 mm overnight). The Gulf of Thailand will become more active, the southwest monsoon will dominate over the Andaman Sea, the monsoon trough will span the north, northeast, and upper central Pacific, and a low-pressure system will form over the middle coast of Vietnam, according to local forecasts. This will probably result in more rain falling across the entire country. Around seven o’clock on Friday night, a rain flooded the city and soaked homebound commuters. The wet season has already begun. Northeastern Bangkok’s provinces include Amnat Charoen, Loei, Nong Bua Lam Phu, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan, Yasothon, Kalasin,…
More than 50 people took part in a demonstration against the scarcity of water and the politicians’ hollow promises on Tuesday in the village of Moo 4. The village is situated in the Bang Lamung district of the Chon Buri province. The Pattaya mayor formed a task force to address the city’s problems on the same day as the protest. Pattaya’s mayor, Poramese Ngampiches, admitted that as the city constructed its infrastructure in accordance with the Eastern Economic Corridor Development Plan, there would surely be some growing pains. It remains to be seen whether these current measures to repair Pattaya’s infrastructure will ultimately make it easier for residents of Moo 4 to access drinking water. After 30 years, residents of one East Pattaya hamlet are sick of not having access to tap water. According to a local government spokeswoman, residents of the Nong Plalai sub-district had access to tap water…
Over 30 cm of water cover certain Bangkok roadways. To prevent damage to their vehicles, drivers had to open their windows, turn off the air conditioning, and go gently. Many drivers chose to leave their vehicles parked on bridges as they waited for the rain to stop since flooding in certain areas was so bad. Chadchart captured his staff carefully and cautiously managing the high water on the Ratchada, Asoke, and Sukhumvit rivers on Facebook Live. According to the governor, the water level in the Khlong Saen Saeb canal had not been this high in a very long time. Up until July 24, there will be “isolated heavy to very heavy rain in most parts of the nation,” according to the Thai Meteorological Department.

A Japanese passport offers hassle-free travel to 193 countries, one more than passports from Singapore and South Korea, according to Henley & Partners, an immigration consultant. However, as travel hasn’t entirely recovered from Covid restrictions, the index simply offers a speculative look of the most important documents to have while the world recovers from the pandemic. Out of 147 nations, 79 of which do not require visas, Thailand was ranked 70th. Malaysia ranked third among its immediate neighbors with only 47 visa-required countries, behind Cambodia (93rd), Laos (95th), and Myanmar (96th) (99th). As of 2017, the survey showed that Asian passports hardly ever made the list of the top 10 most popular passports globally. As Europe’s influence has eroded more and more, Germany is currently second to South Korea. 119 nations easily accept the 50th-ranked travel documents from Russia. China ranked 69th having access to 80 countries, followed by India…
