According to hoteliers, the proliferation of marijuana shops and outdoor smokers causes more harm than good.

As they believe illegal marijuana shops have done more harm than good to tourism over the past month, tourism users have praised the prime minister’s promise to outlaw recreational cannabis use within six weeks.

In an interview with Bloomberg this year, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin insisted that the state would change the hemp scheme so that it could only be used for medical purposes within six months.

He previously stated that he personally disapproved of using the plant for outdoor purposes.

According to Thanet Supornsahasrungsi, team executive director of Sunshine Hotels and Resorts in Pattaya,” You can now easily find a cannabis store every 200 to 300 meters along the roads of Pattrayan, and 90 % of them are not for health functions.”

He claimed that because there have been a couple instances of hotel guests using excessive amounts of cannabis and needing to be taken to the hospital while unconscious, the loosening of regulations and weak police have had more negative effects on tourism than positive economic effects.

Additionally, there were issues for visitors from nations that forbid the consumption and importation of marijuana products, many of whom were unaware that some items purchased here, such as foods and beverages, contained marijuana.

According to Mr. Thanet, law enforcement may be stricter if we want to use it for health purposes to ensure that we can provide them with health care that is healthy for their health.

He claimed that while Thailand was failing to properly control this industry, the majority of tourists were abusing the loophole and had no intention of traveling there solely to smoking cannabis.

After the flower was taken off the cocaine list, many cannabis shops opened on every street in Phuket, according to Suksit Suvunditkul, chairman of the Thai Hotels Association’s southern book.

He claimed that most resorts must forbid cigarettes in their rooms because it annoys other guests, particularly families with young children.

He claimed that if the government restricts cannabis use to just clinical uses, hotels completely concur.

In order to prevent unchecked business expansion, the private sector in the provinces recently discussed the effects of uncontrolled businesses and proposed planning cannabis use for outdoor purposes.

Phuket’s tourism industry, however, would not be impacted if the authorities decided to close all cannabis-related businesses because the area is already recovering to a 2019 level, even without marijuana liberalization.

According to Mr. Suksit,” European guests have recovered by 80 %, with forward bookings reaching 40 – 50 % in the upcoming high season.”

” The hospitality industry would not be impacted if the government closed marijuana stores.” Yet before cannabis was legalized, Phuket experienced steady progress.

Swiftly resolving the issue, Skytrain operator agrees to evaluate safety precautions.

After an online video of the incident went popular, a BTS Skytrain running with one of its doors wide open shocked people and drew harsh criticism.

On Wednesday, the train was traveling between the Bang Chak and Punnawithi stations in Bangkok when one door was visible in the video, which was initially posted by a TikTok user using the account @ star111042 and later widely shared elsewhere.

No one was hurt, but the incident alarmed several passengers and raised concerns about the operator’s safety precautions.

The event was apologized for by Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc on Thursday. It stated that a difficulty had arisen with the door on Wednesday but made no mention of it.

Train control staff were notified by the control center to take staff to stand close to the door to stop passengers from approaching it. When the coach reached the following place, the issue was resolved.

The operator promised to carefully evaluate the aforementioned BTS train carriage and devise plans to stop the incident from happening again.

Four sites in the county are suggested for inclusion on the cautious list in this review document. They include the historic communities of Phangyang, Phakho, and Sathing Phra, as well as Songkhla’s former town and the old fortresses at Khao Daeng and Laem Son.

Police make imprisonment in bruise operation following specialist problem

A 13 million baht LCD display initiative has resulted in the arrest of the mayor of a city in Samut Prakan province’s Bang Phli district on charges of demanding and accepting bribes.

The Muang Bang Kaew municipality’s president, Nathapong Taengsuwan, was detained on Thursday during a pang that was carried out at his company on Bua Nakarin Road in the town of tambon Bang.

The operation included representatives from the Office of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission ( PACC ) as well as police officers from a division of anti-corruption ( ACD ).

The ACD captain, Pol Maj Gen Jaroonkiat Pankaew, claimed that a limited partnership had complained to his office that Mr. Nathapong had demanded payment in exchange for the company being hired to carry out the 13 million baht LCD screen project.

The bribe, which represented 25 % of the cost, was to be paid in two installments — one on Thursday and the other after the project was finished.

Mr. Nathapong accepted an envelope from the company on Thursday that contained 1.56 million baht in cash at his business.

Mr. Nathapong immediately made his way from his business to the parking lot and threw the envelope away when he sensed something was wrong. The police arrived to make the stop at that time.

Mr. Nathapong was accused of deceitfully demanding and accepting a reward. He refuted the accusation.

For more legal action, he was turned over to the ACD.

According to Tawee, original PM is not the only prisoner permitted to receive more than 30 days of outside treatment.

Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong stated on Thursday that Thaksin Shinawatra is one of many prisoners whose hospital gets may be extended depending on the decision of pertinent specialists and physicians.

Mr. Tawee was in response to a report that Thaksin had been at Police General Hospital for 30 weeks before the Department of Corrections had permitted him to remain longer. On the first day after his return to the country on August 22, Thaksin was transferred from Bangkok Remand Prison to a hospital.

According to the justice minister, the director-general of the Department of Corrections has the authority to extend a prisoner’s doctor be based on medical advice.

” For more than 30 days, some other prisoners have received treatment outside of their incarceration.” The parson noted that Thaksin is not the only instance of this kind.

The permanent repository for justice will need to approve any stay at the hospital that lasts longer than 60 days, and a stay of more than 120 days must be supported by the judge minister. According to Mr. Tawee, for clearances may primarily be based on the advice of pertinent physicians.

The minister claimed that because he had not spoken with the corrections director-general about the operation next week, neither the cause of Thaksin’s operation nor any specifics about his present condition were known to him.

Thaksin underwent surgery last month for a number of reasons, according to Pol Lt Gen Dr Sophonrat Singhajaru, general practitioner at Police General Hospital, who announced this on Tuesday. He remained silent out of respect for individual anonymity.

Thaksin is well known for having high blood pressure, heart and respiratory issues, and another aging-related illnesses.

It had been almost a quarter since he was taken to the hospital, according to activists who demanded an update on Thaksin’s heath on Monday. He was released from prison, where he is currently serving a one-year word, only 13 hours after being committed.

The Department of Corrections also announced on Monday that Thaksin would need to serve at least six months in prison, or until late February, before he could request password.

After spending 15 times in self-exile, Thaksin, 74, returned to Thailand on the morning of August 22. During his presence, he had been found guilty, given a sentence, and accused of new offenses.

The Supreme Court sentenced him to eight years in prison for the three circumstances that were ultimately resolved on the same day. Yet, due to health reasons, he was transferred from Bangkok Remand Prison to Police General Hospital at around 2 a.m. the following day.

His Majesty the King later reduced his sentence to one time in prison.

Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong asserts that” Thaksin is not the only event of this kind.”

It would be foolish of me not to ask PM’s mind and that of other prime ministers, he says.

NEW YORK: Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin claims he envisions Thaksin Shinawatra holding a position in government after being released from prison, which is evidence of how the original top continues to dominate the nation’s politics.

During an interview with Haslinda Amin of Bloomberg Television in New York, where he is attending the UN General Assembly, Mr & nbsp, Srettha said,” He has value to add to the government and the people of Thailand.”

The new prime minister wants to resuscitate an economy whose growth has lagged neighbors for almost ten years under a military-dominated state.

Mr. Srettha said of Thaksin, who is still regarded as the main planner of the Pheu Thai Party,” He was, and perhaps still is, the most popular perfect secretary in the history of Thai government.”

It would be foolish of me not to get his opinion and that of other prime ministries as well if he were to become free.” Evidently, that comes with good reasons.

On August 22, Thaksin made his way back to Thailand after more than 15 years of self-exile worldwide. He was transferred to Police General Hospital just days after starting an eight-year prison sentence that was later reduced to one month for abuse of authority and conflict of interest. He is now recovering from surgery there.

Since taking office earlier this month, Mr. Srettha has not traveled abroad before his presence at the 78th treatment of the UN General Assembly. On Friday nights Thailand time, he is expected to handle the General Assembly. & nbsp,

In his Bloomberg interview, Mr. Srettha admitted his political ignorance after more than 30 years in the private sector as a property developer, but he dismissed any worries about the longevity of the clumsy 11-party ruling coalition, which includes military-aligned parties from the preceding leadership.

He declared,” I think it is a very, very firm government.”

It is less clear what part Thaksin may play in the new administration. Mr. Srettha said,” This enjoy it by ears.”

The group’s executive committee member, Ms. Mallika, announced her resignation on Wednesday night during a live broadcast on the TikTok social media platform, stating that she would leave politics behind and live her life in solitude.

On Thursday, she promised to formally announce her departure to the gathering.

Domestic strife was a common problem for the Democrat Party, an opposition party in the House of Representatives. The Democrats called two public assemblies to choose a new leader after Jurin Laksanawisit resigned from his position as party leader, but both times there was no quorum, so they were unable to move forward.

Mr. Jurin announced his resignation in order to accept accountability for the Democrats’ dismal performance in the May 14 general election, which saw them win only 25 House seats — roughly half of the total they received from the 2019 poll.

Adm Choengchai Chomchoengpaet, the head of the army, announced on Thursday that he would ask the cabinet for permission to buy a Chinese underwater with an engine made in China, though the government does take various factors into account.

A Chinese-made CHD620 engine will be installed in the S26T Yuan-class submarine that the Thai navy ordered from China Shipbuilding & amp, Offshore International Co.( CSOC ). According to Adm Choengchai, the website had previously undergone inspection and approval by the army, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.

The submarine motor insurance has been increased by CSOC from two to eight years to further help the choice of the Chinese engine. According to the army chief, this insurance will protect spare parts and call for the implementation of Chinese officials to assist with submarine maintenance over the eight-year period, which may include submarine upgrades.

He emphasized how important it was for the army to acquire a new submarine in order to improve maritime safety.

Adm Choengchai stated that Germany had declined to offer its website for a Chinese-made submarine, despite the possibility that the new government would negotiate for the German-built engine to be used in the Chinese submarine project as originally planned or would purchase an American submarine in its place. The military’s resources might be exceeded by a new procurement project, he continued.

For the hero task, the military had previously expressed interest in Germany’s MTU396 gasoline engine.

ACM Choengchai, who is scheduled to retire from work at the end of this quarter, stated that he would make an effort to complete the military’s underwater request for the new government within the upcoming week. In addition, & nbsp,

If the government approves the Chinese-made website, it will take nearly three more years to finish the development of the ordered Foreign submarine, he said.
