At Phuket Beach, a Vietnamese mother and daughter perish

As soon as the family is contacted and instructions on how to care for the deceased are obtained, the Vietnamese Embassy in Bangkok will inform them of the unfortunate incident. Three Vietnamese tourists disregarded red flag warnings that the sea was hazardous when they were guests at the Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach. Red flags were hoisted to warn visitors about the dangers of swimming in the dangerous offshore seas, which were caused by big waves caused by strong winds. Stop swimming when you are 20 meters from the coast. Two lifeguards start their shifts at 8 a.m. and patrol the water until 6 p.m. every day at the same beach. Authorities cautioned individuals to avoid taking undue risks despite the fact that there are always lifeguards on duty to prevent more drownings. Vachira Phuket Hospital will conduct an autopsy to determine whether there were any mitigating circumstances in the…

Thai woman warns against air-conditioning scam

According to the Facebook website iReview.in.th, which posts news and reviews on electronic equipment, top-up air conditioning devices use the Internet of Things to remotely operate the air conditioning system.

She claimed that she wished to alert others to the dangers of such con games. She wrote, “Top-up air conditioner!!!” on the post.

Due to the monkeypox concern, Phuket suffers a loss of tourism

Tourists typically purchase fruit from merchants at the overlook to give to the 200 or so monkeys who live there. Fortunately, some fruit vendors have been feeding leftover fruit to the monkeys to prevent them from going hungry. Less visitors are travelling to Phuket to feed their furry companions, though, as a result of the recent monkeypox scare following the discovery of the infection in a Nigerian man. He fled to Cambodia, where he was apprehended, after authorities arrived at his condo to take him to the hospital. 27 people who had touch with the man have now been located by authorities; all of them tested negative for the virus. According to local fruit dealers, during Covid-19 limitations, more people reportedly purchased fruit for the monkeys than there are now.

The Phuket Elder Care Development Center in Pa Khlok town is home to 75 senior persons as well as…

In order to stop the spread of monkeypox, increased foreign entry screening is required

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…

Response from the Royal Thai Navy to Koh Samae San’s ban on bikinis

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…

Bangkok records the second incidence of monkeypox in Thailand

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.

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.
