PHUKET: To facilitate better tourist services, the Phuket local coastal office is converting its third privately-run pier into a smart one.

The office director, Nachapong Pranit, stated that marine authorities are working with concerned organizations, such as the Digital Economy Promotion Agency ( Depa ), to convert Ao Chalong Pier into a smart pier that will cost around 60 million baht.

Ao Por Pier is Thailand’s primary smart pier, and Phuket now has three of them: Explore Panwa Pier, Rassada Park Pier.

According to Mr. Nachapong, the bright piers use digital solutions to raise safety and tourism service standards, increasing traveler confidence.

He stated that in order to enhance services and health, the aquatic office will ask providers of the other piers managed by public and private organizations for assistance.

According to the national, the island state serves 40.000 people daily during high season at 18 piers and 5 marinas. During various times of the year, that amount decreases by half.

According to Mr. Nachapong, a number of business owners are interested in building new boats in Ao Kung, Mai Khoa, and are currently reviewing their development plans.

He continued by saying that because the area is a well-liked stop for cruise liners passing through the area, business operators support the development of cruise terminals.

He claimed that in order to get ready for the upcoming high season, the municipal coastal office and the nearby sea hospitality industry recently organized a workshop for about 100 boat service operators and crew.

According to Mr. Nachapong, catamaran service operators and personnel were strongly urged to research navigational guidelines, evaluate operational standards, examine communications equipment and safety equipment, and strictly adhere to instructions regarding storm warnings.

One of the things that can increase visitor confidence is safety, he continued.

He continued by saying that businesses standards have also been developed by aquatic authorities in Phuket, Krabi, and Phangnga to guarantee the safety of tour vessels. Visit boat trips are required to inform the maritime transportation and security center in their area of their travels.

According to police, the former Danish embassy who was discovered dead in a Bangkok home’s restroom had been mortally stabbed.

After a meeting with police investigating the case at Suthisan authorities station, Metropolitan Police deputy director Pol Maj Gen Noppasilp Poonsawat revealed that the body that was discovered on Sunday night had been stabbed three times in the chest.

Vichit Chitvimarn’s body was discovered on the next floor of a three-story home in the Chatuchak neighborhood of Bangkok. He was 63 years old.

Three attack wounds, according to Pol Maj Gen Noppasilp, were discovered in the past diplomat’s neck. In the kitchen on the first ground, criminal police examined a wooden box containing five kitchen knives and discovered blood stains on two of them.

He claimed that after the house’s first and second floors were discovered to have been looted, it was assumed that house robbery was likely the cause of the death.

He continued,” We’re looking at the images from the house’s security camcorders.”

Two boys, ages 14 and 17, may be called by the police for questioning on the grounds that they might be connected to the death.

Vichit, the prey of the crime, retired on September 30, 2020, from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His significant roles at the government included those of assistant director general of the Thailand International Cooperation Agency, consul general in Kunming, China, consul-general in Osaka, Japan, a ministry-attached ambassador, and adviser to Denmark in Copenhagen. & nbsp,

Vichit & nbsp was a former advisor to the National Intelligence Agency as well.

Early on Sunday, the body of the past Thai ambassador to Denmark was discovered in a bathroom at his opulent Chatuchak neighborhood home in Bangkok.

According to Pol Capt. Puthipong Hongthong, assistant chief researcher at the Suthisan police station, a group of workers visited the home on Sunday morning in the Chomphon area of the Chatuchak district after making an appointment with the owner to perform some repairs.

The alarm at the front gate was pushed frequently by the workers, but no response was given. They quickly became aware of a bad odor coming from the house and called the police. The three-story home had been secured from the inside. A few days prior, neighbors claimed to have noticed a scent filling the air.

The lighting in a room was still on when the police arrived. They searched the home and discovered a system in the second-floor bathroom. Three to four paper sheets were placed on top of the body.

The figure was later determined to be that of Wichit Chitwiman, a 63-year-old past Thai embassy to Denmark.

The apartment had been renovated, and the job was finished about a month ago, the officers discovered after an inspection. The home was occupied by the former diplomat only.

To determine the cause of death, Suthisan officers were looking into the matter.

NAKHON PHANOM: A couple in Pla Pak district of this northeastern border province are certain that, as seen from a picture posted by an online news outlet and widely shared on social media, their son is one of the workers said to have been captured by the Hamas militant forces that launched a major assault on Israel on Saturday.

The picture shows six men, their hands tied to their backs, had been held in captive – with a militant training a rifle at them. Those captured were said to be Thai and Philippine workers at a worksite on the Israeli border.

The couple – Thawatchai and Thongkhoon Onkeaw, both 47 – confirmed that one of the workers held captive by the Hamas is their son – Natthaporn Onkeaw, alias Tui, 26.

The family lives in Ban Nong Saeng, the Moo 5 village, in tambon Na Ma Khua, Pla Pak district.

They said Natthaporn left for Israel to work at a kibbutz in Israel in October 2021 after obtaining a work contract via the Labour Ministry’s Department of Employment and paid about 60,000 baht in total in travel and administrative costs. Under the five-year contract, he was guaranteed a monthly salary of about 50,000 baht.

Mrs Thongkhoon said the family had been in contact on a daily basis with Natthaporn after work via Facebook. But, on Saturday, after the news on the Hamas attack broke out, they tried to contact him, but to no avail. They were also unable to contact with his fellow Thai workers at the kibbutz.

After seeing the picture, they were certain one of them is Natthaporn, she said.

Mrs Thongkhoon said the family has one son, Natthaporn, and a daughter, 12. She said Natthaporn had been the family’s main breadwinner, after his father who also worked in Israel for several years.
