The Election Commission (EC ) won’t show up for today’s meeting of the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI)’s special cases board to decide whether to look into alleged collusion in the Senate election from last year, a source told a source yesterday.

The EC agreed at a meeting on Tuesday to rather give the table a letter claiming that the EC is the one with the power to look into the case, according to the source.

The table, which is led by Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, was originally scheduled to decide on February 25 but was delayed so that it could be reviewed.

Mr. Phumtham said he would rather waited until the meeting actually occurs before making any comments about the EC’s judgement on Wednesday.

Mr. Phumtham said he hadn’t seen the EC’s written response to the club’s notice when asked for comment on the EC’s claim that it has the power to move the election fraud analysis under Part 49 of the natural law.

A group of fruitless Senate candidates, including some on the reserve list, made the allegations of vote-fixing and claimed the EC has been slow to act.

The claims are alleged to be directed at “blue union” senators, a nod to a group that supports the Bhumjaithai Party, a member of the government coalition.

Senator Chattrawat Saengphet, on the other hand, reversed on his earlier statement in legislature on Tuesday, saying the DSI board may face legal action if it consents to conduct an investigation. The lawmaker claimed that this might be viewed as an attempt to overthrow political principles.

He claimed monday that he was accusing no one of wrongdoing since what he claimed on Tuesday was stillpending.

A committee vote against the president’s request for the DSI to handle the case, according to red-shirt head Jatuporn Prompan, meanwile, may indicate a power vacuum.

The SAO does work to analyze in-depth data and use it as a tracking mechanism, he said.” The SAO didn’t wait until the damage is done.

According to the labor secretary, 21K tasks are promised

The limit for Thai staff in the agribusiness and construction sectors has been increased to 21, 000 work in Israel this year, according to the labor minister of Israel.

During an official visit to Thailand that is coming to an end now, Rabbi Yoav Ben Tzur, the Israeli Labour Minister, addressed the media monday at the Israeli Embassy.

He and Thai Prime Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday to increase the number of workers needed for the construction industry, 8, 500 of which are in the agriculture industry. Additionally, Israel wants to welcome Thai personnel into the hospitality industry, including care homes and restaurants.

According to Mr. Ben Tzur, Israel has faith in Thai personnel and is willing to pay more.

Because Thai workers are diligent, physician, and experienced, Israeli employers want more of them. Additionally, he claimed, the Israeli government assures that Thai staff will be secure and entitled to full benefits in accordance with the law.

Around 150, 000 Israeli employees have left since the Israeli authorities imposed a common ban on Arab laborers following the Hamas assault on Israel on October 7, 2023. In response, Israel urgently needs workers from different nations to help rebuild its infrastructure and businesses.

According to Mr. Ben Tzur, Israel aims to employ about 300,000 staff from nations like Thailand, Mexico, and Cambodia.

He claimed that Israel would like to employ up to 200, 000 Thai employees in various industries, including old care, hospitality, and construction.

” We adore Thai laborers because they are very experienced. We does appear to other countries as well if we can’t achieve the 200, 000 goal, he added.

When questioned about how Israel may ensure the safety of Thai staff in the continuing discord, he claimed that the majority of the battle has taken place along Israel’s northern and southern territories.

The government will increase protection to stop the conflict from spreading, while Thai workers will only be permitted to work in designated protected areas in the core region. Moreover, Israeli employers have constructed bunkers close to work sites to protect workers.

” Please refrain from worrying about any issues that might occur. He said,” We look after Thai laborers like our family members, and we’ll continue to do so.”

During an anti-drug operation aimed at 10 sites across six regions, authorities had seize assets worth about 80 million ringgit.

Office of the Narcotics Control Board ( ONCB) Secretary-General Pol Lt Gen Panurat Lakboon announced yesterday that a significant suspect in a major narcotics network was also detained during the operation in Suphan Buri.

After obtaining arrest warrants for three suspects, about 200 police and army commanders raided Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Suphan Buri, Ang Thong, Sukhothai, and Ayutthaya between March 2 and 5.

For the moment, authorities have kept their last names a secret.

Mr. Techin, the second suspect, is alleged to possess seized crystal methamphetamine and heroin from a neighboring nation, transported it through Chiang Rai’s borders, and finally transported it to a second nation.

The other two defendants, according to Pol Lt Gen Panurat, were Mr. Chamang, who was involved in drug supply and received requests from Mr. Techin, and Mr. Phakphum, who oversaw funds and controlled substance transportation.

Simply Mr. Phakphum was detained by police during the attacks.

The various two main offenders are still at large.

Land with houses, luxury cars, silver jewelry, and bank accounts were some of the seized assets.

154 kilogrammes of morphine and assets worth about 7.6 million baht were taken after police began their investigation on October 22 after making some arrests.

Three additional system suspects were detained on February 15 and 16, along with 500 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, and 9 million baht worth of assets were seized.

Eventually, the show’s controller in Thailand’s northern and central regions was identified as Mr. Techin.

The Thai government has repeatedly reaffirmed their warning that anyone who engages in regular condominium rental services may face legal action.

At a conference on Wednesday, the House Committee on Administration, led by Korrawee Prissanantakul, raised a concern about unrestricted daily rentals. State agency staff took part to offer explanations.

Renting property products on a daily basis, according to Mr. Korrawee, is against the law. Also, problems have been raised about foreigners owning apartment units above the permitted maximum. He stated that legal actions may be brought against those who violate the law.

According to Voravut Laipoonsawat, deputy director-general of the Department of Lands, foreigners are not permitted to own more than 49 % of a condominium project’s total area, as opposed to 49 % of the total number of units. This rule aims to restrict foreigners ‘ ability to vote in property juristic organizations.

Mr. Voravut also made note of the legitimate flaws that prevent foreigners from ever visiting Thailand to purchase property units through Thai nominees. A single tourist may also purchase many units, as there is no cap on the number of units an individual can own, provided that full foreign ownership does not exceed 49 % of the condominium’s complete area.

Renting out apartment products on a daily basis, related to lodge functions, is prohibited, according to Rattawit Jitsujaritwong, a lawyer with the Department of Provincial Administration. A registration system is required because the resort industry has an impact on both the market and national security.

Owners of Thai or foreign apartment units who rent out rooms like hotels without the proper authorization may be found guilty of breaking the law. Also, if a condominium’s constitutional representative is aware of such actions, they could face legal repercussions.

One issue is that many of these illegal accommodations are made by users who reside outside of Thailand through Airbnb and other online websites, making protection hard.

Authorities intend to enact the Hotel Act more firmly in the near future through combined procedures involving the Immigration Bureau, city workplaces, police, and the Department of Provincial Administration. Additionally, they will request that online platforms stop running monthly rental advertisements and contact condominium jurists to inform residents that it is against the law to offer daily rentals to tourists.
