While some vendors may still be unhappy about having to relocate, it’s good news for visitors and travelers who can now enjoy the golden beaches without having to dodge booths, chairs, tables, and dispersed trash. Without clogging up the beach, they can purchase food and beverages from the sellers, go sit on a mat or beach chair, and take in the beach vibes. On June 27, local authorities made the decision to forbid any local vendors from erecting their businesses on the beach. However, they also pledged to find a suitable spot for the hawkers and peddlers who would be adversely affected by the decision. The majority of Chon Buri locals and visitors were said to be content with the new arrangement, according to the media. And yesterday, the media reported that the previous Na Jomtien Beach vendors had moved to a new street food market located in Soi Jomtien…

10,377 Thai nationals who were discovered to be working illegally in South Korea were deported in only 2022. 10,000 Thai citizens have visited South Korea after the country “reopened” during the outbreak. 50 percent of them—or more than 5,000—have been turned away and sent home, according to the Daily News. Although the Korea Times did not specify if the Thais who were turned away had a K-ETA or the appropriate visa, it is probably safe to infer that 110 passengers on one trip weren’t sufficiently unprepared to possess neither. Therefore, it is unknown why they were denied admittance. The Korea Times reported yesterday that 110 Thai tourists traveling on a single flight were refused admission to the South Korean island of Jeju and deported back to Thailand. According to sources, a startling 50% of all Thais entering South Korea have been turned away at the border since Korea’s post-pandemic “reopening”…

The LGBTQ+ community has no immediate plans to file legal challenges to change the definition of marriage, but the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore said yesterday that the community should respect the Catholic Church’s rights to uphold its position on marriage, which is that a family consists of a father, mother, and children. The Catholic Church made the declaration in response to whether or not the government repeals Section 377A of the Penal Code, which makes sex between males illegal. As the majority of countries in the globe progress toward legalizing same-sex weddings, Singapore has battled with how to make its society more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. We commend and support the government’s concise explanation of its position on marriage and are reassured that it is working to protect the current legal definition of marriage, which stipulates that it must be between a man and a woman. Yesterday, the…
In order to determine how prepared it is to withstand additional floods in Bangkok, Chadchart visited the Bang Sue Canal pumping station on Friday. According to Chadchart, building a water tunnel would cost the city between 5 and 6 million baht, which is less than the 4 million baht cost of replacing one water pump.

For the greatest good, I’ll endeavor to spend less money from our budget. Unimportant projects will either be dropped or delayed. A dam construction project was opposed by certain firms on the grounds that it would be detrimental to their operations. Then, communities and roads were washed away by floods. Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt requested assistance from the city’s commercial sector in resolving the perennial flooding issue facing…

The Chao Phraya River is currently running at a rate of 1,200 cubic meters (m3) per second, which the governor of Bangkok said is normal considering that the amount of water deemed critical and causing the Chao Phraya River to overflow is approximately 2,000 m3. The public has been assured by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) that measures have been taken to handle Chao Phraya River overflows during high tides from this week to the start of next month. The 88-kilometer-long flood wall that protects Bangkok from flooding has 20 gaps that need to be filled, according to Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt. He also said that the BMA has been allocated money to replace 13 of the gaps with sandbags.
