Bangkok’s governor says officials would talk about lowering the necessity for wearing a mask outside
Bangkok’s governor says officials would talk about lowering the necessity for wearing a mask outside
Thailand’s Public Health Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, is still opposed to the mask requirement being relaxed. Thailand’s Covid infections could reach 10,000 every day, according to Anutin, now that the country’s nightlife has ‘officially’ reopened. According to the Associated Press, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Public Health warned that “venues are at a greater danger since they are noisy and persons need to converse loudly.” “Some people may take off their masks and talk to one another, potentially sparking disease outbreaks.” Bangkok’s new governor, Chadchart Sittipunt, has indicated plans to consider lowering mask rules in Thailand’s capital, following the perplexing mask policy flip-flop in Phuket. On the other hand, Chadchart has not set a date for the meeting. The governor also intends to investigate the legality of extending nightclub closing times past the existing midnight limit. Keeping the closing hour so early, he claimed, only served to increase crowds and…
According to a Nation Thailand study, Phuket welcomed 150,596 guests over the weekend of May 13–16, generating 1.82 billion baht in tourism earnings. During such long holidays, the province’s occupancy rate was 44.46 percent. The Thai government is praising itself for easing entry restrictions, which authorities claim has increased tourism in regions like Phuket and Koh Samui. All of this is down to the government’s decision to relax travel restrictions during the country’s peak season, which runs from March to May. According to Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, a government spokeswoman, up to 10,000 foreign visitors enter the nation each day, albeit the days of large tour groups are past — at least for now. He predicts that occupancy rates would rise to 60 to 80 percent, especially in popular areas like Patong Beach and Phuket Old Town. The prime minister also urged Thais to maintain a positive tourism image in order to…
The mayor of Koh Samui, Chayapon Intharasupa, said he received information that four Thai visitors were about to drown at Chawaeng Beach. All of them were rescued by local jet ski riders and rescue personnel. Three women and one male were admitted to the hospital in total. The women were all well, but Jakkapan Boonchanya, the male, was thought to be in grave condition and unlikely to survive. According to the holidaymakers’ family members, the group had swum too far from the beach and been hit by a large wave. Four Thai tourists went swimming in heavy waves despite a red flag warning on the beach at Chawaeng Beach on Koh Samui in the southern district of Surat Thani on Wednesday. One of the passengers drowned, but the remaining four were saved. According to staff at a jet ski rental company on the beach, one foreigner was also rescued not…

Hundreds of security cameras have been installed on a famous tourist island off the coast of Pattaya
The pier at Tawan Beach on Koh Larn isn’t the only one in need of repair. Four tourists went down the pier at Sangwan Beach after a railing on the pier shattered in February. The guests were taking a photo and lounging over the fractured railing when it shattered, and they fell into the rocks below, incurring serious injuries. Security is being beefed up on Koh Larn, a major tourist island off the coast of Pattaya. At seven beaches across the island, the municipality has installed 200 CCTV security cameras. Meanwhile, authorities on Koh Larn are working to rebuild a pier. The installation is nearly complete, according to Pattaya Deputy Manager Kiattisak Sriwongchai, and the cameras will be completely operational early this month. He claims that the cameras are high-tech and that they can zoom in to 800 meters. According to Kiattisak, the Tawan Beach Pier on Koh Larn, which…
The lack of direct flights is the most significant impediment to Australians visiting the Land of Smiles. Following Thailand’s massive efforts to entice Saudi tourists to the nation, the tourism industry in Phuket is anticipating a surge in Saudi visitors. It also hopes to attract more Australian visitors, who have long been a mainstay of the island’s tourism industry. Australia is currently the second largest market for Phuket, according to Suladda Sarutilavan, director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Sydney office. Last month, Indians were reported to be Phuket’s largest group of visitors, a trend that has been expanding since the start of the year and the reintroduction of daily flights from major Indian cities. There are now only direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Phuket and Bangkok. According to Suladda, TAT encouraged Thai Airways to begin direct flights from Perth, where demand for flights to Phuket is high.…
Thailand’s online SAIJAI homecare marketplace, which includes ‘on demand’ services for elderly or senior care, is one solution that addresses these demands. With more people working from home, having these services available when and as needed fills a gap in a hectic schedule. Thailand’s aging society is quickly expanding, with one-third of Thais aged 60 and older expected to make up one-third of the population by 2040. SAIJAI’s caregivers have a wide range of experience, including cleaning, companionship, and mobility, as well as those with more specialized knowledge. Other sorts of support include accompanying the elderly to Bumrungrad Hospital for medical appointments, taking a walk in Lumpini Park, or shopping at CentralWorld. Despite predictions that the country would witness a significant increase in the number of assisted living and nursing homes, COVID-19 proved to be a game-changer. While many Thais have traditionally lived and grown up in multigenerational households with…
