Thailand was ranked 41 among 133 economies featured in the Global Innovation Index ( GII ) 2024, its highest place in a decade, the National Innovation Agency ( NIA ) has said.

The country climbed from 43rd place in last year’s ranking while maintaining third place among the Asean countries, after Singapore ( 4th ) and Malaysia ( 33rd ), said the NIA.

World economies are ranked according to their innovation potentials using roughly 80 indicators, which are divided into innovation inputs and outputs, according to the GII, released by the World Intellectual Property Organization ( WIPO ).

Switzerland was the first state in the major 10, followed by Sweden, the United States, Singapore, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark.

Nevertheless, Thailand’s technology capacity has improved greatly in particular input and output sub-indexes, which indicates the region has been on the right trail regarding innovation promotion, said Krithpaka Boonfueng, executive director of the NIA.

Thailand’s outstanding innovation indicators lie in the business system category, especially gross domestic expenditure on research and development ( GERD), which is total expenditure on R&amp, D, she said.

Thailand will need to work harder to increase its exports of Internet services and its costs on schooling as a share of GDP, she said.

Ms. Krithpaka noted that there are still many areas that require more government funding, especially when deciding which steps the nation should take to improve its technology potential and how state organizations can assist its private-sector partners.

According to her recommendation, researchers from the public sector should collaborate with the private business to better understand the technology industry.

She continued,” The Ministry of Commerce will encourage cooperation between the public and private businesses.”

This task may include improvements to the environment, restaurants, structures, and cooperation in organising several celebrations that reflect traditional American culture”, he said.

According to him, City Hall wants to organize Indian festivals, establish American markets, and improve footpaths and road signs to indicate the local identity, creating a unique traveling experience in Asia.

“]The ] Little India project will not only increase tourists but also help promote the economy, stimulate employment, generate income through art, culture, music and local traditions. This is sweet energy that will create income for local people”, said Mr Surajit.

The” Green Prison” initiative, which uses black soldier fly larvae to eject organic waste from jail, has been implemented in collaboration with the Department of Corrections ( DoC ).

Both organizations signed a memorandum of understanding ( MoU) to expand the initiative to 143 federally licensed correctional facilities.

DCCE director-general Phirun Saiyasitpanich said management of solid waste is a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, with food waste alone accounting for 35-40 % of Thailand’s community solid waste.

Policies on management of such spend rely on waste processing and the decrease of waste at the supply under the concept of the “3Rs” ( reduce, reuse, recycle ), Mr Phirun said, adding that standard solid waste management methods like hygiene landfills and open-air using release over 8.66 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually, contributing over 50 % of waste-related emissions.

Black man travel eggs would be used to control foods waste in correctional facilities as part of the partnership between the DCCE and the DoC.

Pilots in seven prisons in the country have demonstrated successful agrarian and waste reduction training sessions online for more than 136 facilities, and black soldier travel larvae can be fed and turned into natural fertiliser.

DoC director-general Sahakarn Petchnarin said the program had 277, 950 residents as of last quarter. He said individuals often participate in community service activities, including waste reduction and trees farming, which contribute to environmental improvement.

Now, 17 correctional facilities are using black man fly larval for management of organic waste, and the MoU will help grow this process to 143 areas nationwide.

In contrast, both sections will work together to develop economic protection, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve agricultural output.

The education ministry has provided reassurance that students will receive adequate foods as part of the free breakfast program for the upcoming year.

The government’s free lunch program, which is crucial for children’s learning and development, was recently praised by Education Minister Permpoon Chidchob.

Next month’s program focuses on poor children in rural areas, he said, adding that it is a follow-up to this year’s program for major universities.

He added that a study conducted by the government revealed that some students in lower secondary schools still do not receive adequate nutrition and are thus at risk for developing.

According to him,” It is crucial for children to have a healthy and balanced diet so that they can get everything they need to grow, learn, and develop.”

He stated that the government would collaborate with the Department of Local Administration to ensure that 575, 000 individuals from Mathayom 1-3 rates receive free school meals from more than 7, 300 schools nationwide using the 2.9 billion bass budget approved by the government on March 26.

To improve the access to education for poor children, these schools were included in a government project.

Of the institutions, 6, 855 are supervised by the Office of the Basic Education Commission, 376 by the Department of Local Administration, 109 by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and four by the Border Patrol Police.

The schools, which serve underprivileged students, frequently encounter problems because of the lack of qualified teachers and issues with the quantity and quality of the meals ‘ food.

The budget planning was effective on October 1, which marked the start of the 2025 fiscal year, and it occurred during the second quarter of the current academic year.

The number of students each school has on average affects the breakfast budget. For a class with up to 40 individuals, the expenditure is 36 ringgit per head per day.

The Mathayom 1-3 program is yet another significant step in the global effort to protect students ‘ health. The government has promised to continue to support the program to ensure Thai children’s health and strength, according to Pol Gen Permpoon.

Chaithawat Tulathon, a Progressive Movement member and a People’s Party ( PP ) campaign assistant, has slammed former premier&nbsp, Thaksin Shinawatra for suggesting the PP was bent on passing too many laws, saying the government has failed to grasp the concept of constructive legislative duty.

Kanisorn Khurirang, a PP candidate for the Provincial Administrative Organization president, was speaking on the campaign road in Udon Thani’s Ban Phue district on November 24.

Last year, Thaksin made a campaign stop in the state to support the decision Pheu Thai Party. He claimed that PP and Pheu Thai should not be in a fight over who wins more rules during a rally. He suggested that the PP should replace outdated legislation.

In response, Mr Chaithawat said Thaksin’s note was cause confusion, noting that to withdraw existing rules, new ones must be enacted in their area.

An MP should pass a law that serves the interests of the people, according to the former leader of the now-dissolved Move Forward Party ( MPF), the PP’s predecessor.

Additionally, Mr. Chaithawat criticized authorities MPs as being lazy in their congressional work. ” If anyone really wants to handle person’s grievances, they must work on their words and never open a absurd attack”, he said.

He also cited some of the expenses that were pending before the Pheu Thai-led Srettha Thaivisin leadership, which were not passed.

In order to manage their own transportation budgets, local administrative organizations ( LAOs ) are given the power to delegate authority to military conscription, as well as a bill that aims to end military conscription. The MFP had sponsored the payments.

According to Mr. Chaithawat, the local transportation bill would enable LAOs to successfully reform the transportation system without needing to obtain the Transport Ministry’s approval. He claimed that the transportation bill was rejected by Pheu Thai and other federal partnership functions.

Additionally, Mr. Chaithawat claimed that Thaksin, who enjoys a high level of respect in Pheu Thai, claimed that the government was abolishing its power cartels to increase living costs.

” ]So] why is the power concession still in the hands of a second business”? he said.

Immigration speed and security to the fore

Ready for battle: Suvarnabhumi International Airport expects to welcome more visitors during the high season at the end of the year. Immigration police are preparing for the influx of tourists.
Prepare for battle: Suvarnabhumi International Airport anticipates more customers at the end of the year’s high season. Immigration authorities are getting ready for the visitors.

The Immigration Bureau ( IB ) is putting forth new technology, including the TIS, to enhance its work at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Hat Yai are the main immigration gates ‘ main priorities, according to Pol Maj Gen Choengron Rimpadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, which is in charge of maintaining a balance between quick service and national security.

In an interview with the Bangkok Post, Pol Maj Gen Choengron, 56, said the TIS, which is now under growth, does play an important role in improving the services of immigration officers at the airports.

The commander’s expertise in the commission spans more than 12 years. He was a student in the Royal Police Cadet Academy’s 43rd group and a student in the 27th course of the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School.

His classmates included Pol Lt Gen Itthipol Itthisarnronchai, IB commissioner, Lt Gen Amarit Bunsuya, commander of the 1st Army Corps and Pol Lt Col Wannapong Kotcharak, secretary-general of the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre ( SBPAC ).

He learns quickly and is adept at handling complex issues. For instance, when former prime minister Srettha Thavisin unannounced a trip to Suvarnabhumi Airport, he learned about traffic congestion at immigration gates, which resulted in the hiring of about 300 extra soldiers and a$ 20,000 funds for new technology when he visited.

Suvarnabhumi Airport is a significant proper area in Southeast Asia, according to Pol Maj Gen Choengron, who wants to make it one of the top 20 terminals in the world in the next five years. The airport is anticipated to hold about 150 million people annually at that time.

Better company

At present, Suvarnabhumi aircraft handles an average of 120, 000 people a time, increase the power of Don Mueang aircraft of around 60, 000–70, 000 individuals per time.

” At the end of this year, we expect the number of visitors will increase from an average of 120, 000 people per day to 135, 000 per day during the high season. He argued that more officials must be put in place to prevent overcrowding at the immigration station.

Originally, each immigration official spent an average of 1–2 moments verifying passenger information. He claimed that new methods have been put in place to limit the number of people being subject to immigration power to 45 seconds.

Because the program is connected to the flight information with the airport or carriers, we have made some changes. Thai travelers are not required to have their eyes scanned and fingerprinted upon arrival, he said, despite the fact that officers are no longer required to sign the entrance mark.

With each IB official spending about 45 hours per customer, full time including queuing up at immigration does not reach 20 minutes, he said.

The IB tries to apply a territory management system, which divides arriving passengers among the three immigration zones, to shorten the time between arrivals and departures.

” We have reduced the superfluous inspection actions, but we have not cut checks that affect protection”, he said.

Security vision

Every aircraft immigration officer has a major security task, but they must move quickly through passport control to better assist global arrivals.

According to Pol Maj Gen Choengron, the Advanced Passenger Processing System ( APPS) you notice immigration officials if a card holder has an arrest warrant for them in Thailand or overseas.

We may even check their behavior and look up their card or ethnicity. For example, people with a Taiwanese looks using a Vanuatu card will be strongly monitored”, he said.

The IB has denied access to about 7, 000 individuals, including those who have been involved in contact heart con sites. They are prohibited from entering the land because of their titles, he said.

Legal or criminal groups rely on changing a person’s ethnicity or buying a new nationality. Transnational criminal organizations can hide themselves, so Ba soldiers must be more difficult to spot them.

New technologies

Suvarnabhumi aircraft will also increase its services. The issue of support rate cannot be solved by adding 300 to 500 new IB officials.

” A new engineering program is needed like at Singapore’s Changi aircraft, which uses an automated network technology program for almost all arriving passengers. We have to adapt to that in the future, but our back-end system may become strong”, he said.

In two years, the Thailand Immigration System will have improved stability control thanks to AI research and technology.

The commission is developing a pre-registration system through a website and a smart software, according to Pol Maj Gen Choengron. With the assistance of Thailand’s airports, immediately foreigners will be able to use automated card screening channels.

He sees his principal issue as being able to strike a balance between quick service and national security while working as an immigration officer.

” Our duties are similar to those of a front-door security guard, with the principal gate being at Suvarnabhumi Airport. We expel poor actors while maintaining strict surveillance and control measures, according to Pol Maj Gen Choengron.

As visitors accident victims continue to enlist in a horrible toll, with 48 fatalities per day on average then, according to a community, road accident prevention advocates have called for stricter road safety laws to be enforced.

In a ceremony held at the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre ( BACC ) on Saturday to mark this year’s World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, the Thai Health Promotion Foundation ( ThaiHealth ) and its coalition made a pledge to improve road safety.

Surachai Liengboonlertchai, president of legislature’s road safety committees, said the time gives people around the world the chance to give value to those who have lost their lives to traffic accidents.

In Thailand, Public Health Ministry figures show that last month 17, 498 persons perished in road accidents, or 48 murders each day on average.

Every year, about 1, 000 people are hurt and handicapped in the nation as a result of these incidents. The images drive home the need to educate drivers about traffic safety and advocate for road safety.

Ratchanee Supawatjariyakul, chairman of the Road Traffic Accident Victims Empowerment Network, proposed a set of measures to improve the condition.

Ms Ratchanee lost her child, Waraluck Supawatjariyakul, in a road mishap. On January 21, 2022, a police officer struck Dr. Waraluck, who was employed by Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Medicine, at a cross on Phaya Thai Road in the Ratchathewi region. In response to calls to impose a ban on drivers who ignore bridges, the horror received a lot of media attention.

The system demanded that changes be made to the Land Traffic Act and the Cars Act to reduce the number of of repeat offenses and reduce the speed of law protection. The team also emphasized the need to improve the process for obtaining driver’s licenses for various vehicle types and include a more thorough applicant screen.

Ms. Ratchanee added that all vehicles must travel at 50 kilometers per hour in metropolitan areas. She argued that the penalties for individuals who do n’t stop their vehicles at pedestrian intersections and for motorcycle owners who ride on pavement should be raised.

Additionally, she noted that drunk driving consequences may be increased to make criminals accountable for both jail time and fines, she added.

Dr Withid Sariddeechaikool, deputy secretary-general of the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ), told the forum Thailand has the ninth-highest rate of road accidents globally.

One of the reasons is dozing off behind the vehicle, from stress or medication. The FDA warned individuals to avoid anti-allergy and anti-anxiety medication.
