The Royal Thai Army has refuted claims made by an opposition party in parliament that the organization purchased disaster boxes for inflated prices.

The People’s Party ( PP ) raised the accusation earlier this week during the national budget expenditure bill’s scrutiny phase.

The army was accused of spending an unusually large portion of its resources on the purchase of approximately 10,000 disaster trays above the market price.

Col Richa Suksuwanon, a deputy spokeswoman for the military, yesterday said the food boxes purchased in a purchasing job using the fiscal year 2024 resources were made of SUS 304 food-grade metal steel, about 0.8 millimetres wet.

He claimed that the plates are long-lasting and can be used repeatedly, adding that each can be used three times per day.

The lowest rate quoted by the winning company in an e-bidding approach was 520 ringgit every, he said.

The winning rate was almost on par with how much two major cutlery manufacturers, Zebra and Seagull, demand for related trays at a discount, according to the lieutenant official.

Zebra’s standard rate for a comparable food basket is 650 baht every, whereas the agency’s promotional value is 515 baht, he said. With Seagull, the regular price for a similar holder is 619 rmb, while the discounted rate is 520 ringgit, he said.

Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, a PP record MP, claimed during Tuesday’s argument that the army may have opted for boxes that were available for a wholesale cost of 360–380 ringgit apiece.

Col Richa refuted the state, saying such charges were for boxes made of lower-grade metal steel just 0.5mm in diameter.

He claimed that thinner-plastic plates are not strong enough to be used as food containers or tough enough to last a long time.

Mr. Wiroj, who has previously expressed disapproval of the defense budget, insisted that the defense budget’s 1.5 million baht reduction was justified by the mess boxes ‘ price alone. The following macroeconomic season will start the following month.

The business that won the bid to provide food plates to the army may not be able to develop stainless steel kitchenware under the terms of the MP’s opinion.

He had cause to believe that the success of the pay may have purchased the plates from a well-known flatware producer and sold them to the army.

Under Pheu Thai, skeptics ‘ opinions on tidy relations between politicians and companies are unlikely to change, according to platform speakers.

A Bangkok community heard on Thursday that the Pheu Thai-led government’s financial policies favor large corporations over the general public’s.

According to a teacher from Thammasat University’s economics department, Thai institutions and large companies have long had near ties.

According to him, firms profit from their connections to powerful state figures to gain benefits. Monopolies are bad for the entire business, leading to low production performance and a lack of fresh goods, he added.

He noted that the government’s small and medium-sized enterprises are dying, and they cannot engage in terms of production capacity with other countries.

He suggested that the democratic system be altered to better serve the interests of the electorate.

Witoon Lianchamroon, leader of Biothai, stated to the audience that the nation’s system of government is incredibly centralized and closely linked to big businesses. Several board members of significant corporations spent the majority of their jobs in the government sector.

Despite some changes in government, conglomerates remain, and small business users are excluded from the business. The flow of cheap goods from China is worsening the difficulty, he added.

Mr Witoon also criticised the president’s drinking policy and its casino-entertainment difficult plan, saying these initiatives would mostly benefit large investors.

He claimed that unless the state ensures that the money is spent on smaller companies, it will end up in the coffers of big corporations in light of the digital wallet handbook designed to stimulate the market.

Employee representative from the Social Security Board Sattharam Thambuddee criticized social security board policies that do n’t make sense.

He claimed that while subsidies increased taxes on shareholders by over 200 billion ringgit, the return on investment was thought to be half that amount.

However, successive governments have lacked the political will to push for better security benefits for the government, he added.

Last public hearing on the 11 km line planned to make way for more creation

The strategy to construct an 11-kilometer rail series that will connect the city’s westside’s Thap Phraya intersection with Nong Mai Kaen in the eastern has been approved by Pattaya City Council.

Participants on Wednesday approved the structure, framework, and economic effects study for the second phase of the proposed Purple Line rail system at the last common reading.

The reading was chaired by Phutthaset Charoenphat, chairman of the city’s transportation and transportation division.

Despite its large construction costs and maintenance costs, the monorail is best suited for the city, according to the feasibility study because of its small architectural footprint.

The rail system may pave the way for potential urban developments, the research added.

The Purple Line project, which will connect Nong Mai Kaen and the Thap Phraya crossing in the Bang Lamung district’s Nong Prue subdistrict, may have two elements.

The course will include 12 stations located 800 to 1, 000 yards apart from each other, along Nong Mai Kaen Road, Phon Prapha Nimit Road, Pattaya Klang Road and Pattaya Sai 3 Road before ending at the Thap Phraya Intersection.

City Hall is expected to usurp 635 area plots, totalling 64 ray, along the building area. At least 461 buildings in the area will also be affected by the eviction.

The area will attempt to use the rail system’s public-private relationship investment model. Beginning 2027 is expected to be the start of development.

New data points to a man’s behavior that could have led to his death

Authorities in Phuket today believe a Russian man who was found dead in a trench at Karon Beach may have committed suicide.

Phuket police chief officer Pol Maj Gen Sinlert Sukhum stated on Thursday that the data obtained by researchers then suggested suicide as a probability.

Authorities were told that the deceased had exhibited manic behavior and used marijuana, which might have caused hallucinations, nerve symptoms and additional behaviours that led to usage of crime, said Pol Maj Gen Sinlert.

The woman’s husband, who is Russian, claimed that they had tried to kill themselves numerous times.

According to the police chief, researchers are gathering more data before holding a press conference to discuss the death’s reason.

The Soviet man, identified only as Ilia, had several wounds, including wounds near his eye, serious bruising around his left ear and heavy cuts on both hands. He appeared to have been bludgeoned with a difficult thing.

On Tuesday, his body was discovered in the ditch next to the Naga memorial along the Karon Beach road.

Physicians believed he had been dead for at least 8 days before his body was discovered.

Initial theories led to the destruction of his system and the location of his murder.

No compelling proof that a European male had assaulted, was found in the lower court.

Thailand: A doctor who claimed to have been kicked by a European gentleman in February while she was sitting on the actions next to his Yamu Beach home will contest his dismissal on rape charges.

Dr Thandao Chandam, 26, said on Thursday that she was disappointed by the judge’s choice.

She expressed gratitude to the public for her spiritual aid in the case, and promised to fight for justice. She also pledged to stand by her assault accusation.

Her parents, Kasem Chandam, said the family decided to appeal for the sake of justice, adding that he hoped the people do keep up with the help. ” We will do our best to restore justice”, he said.

On February 24, a companion and Dr. Thandao were sitting on the oceanfront steps near his rented palace when a 45-year-old man was accused of kick Dr. Thandao in the rear.

The plaintiff, who ran an elephant camp in Phuket, had reportedly accused the physician of intruding on his occupied property.

The actions leading to the seaside were, it turned out, improperly constructed and not part of the property. They were afterwards demolished.

The alleged blow was captured on a mobile picture, leading a public outcry and calling for Mr Fehr’s imprisonment.

Following a proposal from Phuketan officials, the Immigration Bureau suspended Mr. Fehr’s card on March 7. According to the ministry, Mr. Fehr’s behavior was viewed as a menace to social order. He is contesting the imprisonment purchase.

Following that, Mr. Fehr was charged with rape and the situation was turned over to the Criminal Court.

But, the court on Tuesday acquitted Mr. Fehr, giving him the benefit of the doubt because the plaintiff had no concrete proof of physical assault to back up his claim. It outlined its justifications in a thorough event description that was made available on Wednesday.

Mr. Fehr has always maintained that when he fell on the actions, his foot popped up in the air, which made it appear on the picture that he was kicking.

However, the former chancellor and his supporters must come up with a strategy to maintain their MP status.

Five other members of his class have left as celebration executives as their separation from the gathering deepens, and Thamanat Prompow, who is the party’s secretary-general, has resigned as party secretary-general.

Thamanat announced his intention to start on Thursday, telling the audience. The Election Commission has received the directors ‘ defections.

The action was made ahead of Friday’s group board meeting, which will be presided over by leader Gen Prawit Wongsuwon.

To prevent losing their MP tickets, Thamanat and his colleagues have never given up their PPRP members.

Thamanat acknowledges that he is looking into constitutional options so that he and his supporters may keep Palang Pracharath with their MP reputation intact. The practice has always been for a party to remove an MP so they can keep their chair as long as they can find a replacement party to join.

All told, the important political plumber from Phayao is said to have 20 of the group’s 40 MPs on his part. The other group maintains close relations to Gen. Prawit.

Thamanat tried again before to stir up Palang Pracharath, again in 2021, by targeting Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha but he lost that large, along with his government chair. He left the party but afterwards returned, swearing fidelity to Gen Prawit. &nbsp,

Thamanat claimed on Thursday that he had lost trust in the organization. He claimed that the Pheu Thai Party’s new ministerial nominations were compiled and sent to the ruling party without his knowledge.

Three people from the Thamanat party, including his nephew, are in the new government of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. The criticism includes the remaining Palang Pracharath MPs.

During this year’s discussion on the 2025 budget act, the Thamanat party was spotted seated in the Pheu Thai seats area in the House of Representatives. The Prawit party continued to sit in the PPRP seating arrangement.

Next month, the Pheu Thai Party made a statement about the PPRP’s withdrawal from the partnership. More precisely, it was looking to clean all those dedicated to Gen Prawit, who has been suspected of manoeuvring against Pheu Thai.

Some in Pheu Thai suspect that the 78-year-old former army captain was behind the morality complaint, filed by 40 past legislators, that ended the perfect ministership of Srettha Thavisin. &nbsp, Apart from Thamanat, the five people who exited the PPRP executive board are Narathiwat MP Sampan Mayusoh, Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn ( Chachoengsao ), Boonying Nitikanchana ( Ratchaburi), Phai Lik ( Kamphaeng Phet ), and Boonsing Warinrak.

Palang Pracharath’s committee, which has been reduced from 19 to 13, is scheduled to meet on Friday night to appoint its new chair. Assistant chief Paiboon Nititawan is expected to remove Thamanat as secretary-general.

The Pheu Thai Party-led government’s workers plan, especially the proposal to increase the normal minimum wage to 400 baht global, remains intact, according to Caretaker Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn.

Mr. Phiphat assured readers that the wage increase, which will target particular professions and specific industries, will take effect on October 1 with more details set to be announced shortly.

According to him, the pay committee, which is led by Pairoj Chotikasathien’s permanent secretary for labor, will likely meet half before finalizing and releasing the specifics of the wage increase.

The new wage rate will be made public this month, but it wo n’t affect all workers and business owners.

” The state is committed to carrying on the preceding government’s plan, and the Labour Ministry has previously submitted its proposal]for participation in the administration’s plan statement], “he said.

The Pheu Thai-led government’s important election assurance is to raise the regular minimum income. Within its first year of power, the government wants to raise the compensation from 400 to 600, and by 2027, that is the government’s goal.

Recently, the bilateral council approved a 400-baht regular income on March 26, which took result in pieces of 10 counties on April 13, including Phuket, Koh Samui in Surat Thani, Pattaya in Chon Buri, Chiang Mai City in Chiang Mai, and Pathumwan and Watthana towns in Bangkok. It applied to tourism-related businesses and four-star hotels with at least 50 employees.

Additionally, the labor minister pledged to assist employees who are affected by business closures and pay them fair wages.

According to information from the Department of Industrial Works, 1, 260 factories were opened and 667 factories were shut down between January and July of this year. The rate of factory openings was close to a five-year average.

After dividing the number of closed factories from the number of new factories, there was a rise in investment of 167.6 billion baht and an increase in employment of 25, 663 people.

Meanwhile, Thaweesan Wichaiwong, president of Khon Kaen’s Industry Council, said the Federation of Thai Industries is opposed to the nationwide, across-the-board wage hike of 400 baht.

He argued that the provincial’s inflation indices and economic conditions should be adjusted to accommodate wage increases otherwise they would hurt SMEs ( small and medium-sized businesses ), which would have to bear additional costs.

Mr Thaweesan added that the wage hike is a double-edged sword. Eventually, the extra costs will be passed on to consumers, and some manufacturers might relocate to countries with lower labour costs.

Minister also makes a pledge to assist employees who are impacted by business shutdown.

The employment scheme of the Pheu Thai-led government, especially the plan to raise the regular minimum wage to 400 baht nationwide, remains intact, according to caretaker Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn.

On Thursday, Mr. Phiphat assured me that the wage increase, which will target particular professions and certain areas, will start effective on October 1, with additional details set to be announced shortly.

Before releasing the specific information of the raise, he claimed, the national income commission, which is led by the Ministry of Labour’s permanent secretary, will meet half.

” The new pay rate will be disclosed this month, but it will just apply to specific groups of workers and companies”, he said.

” The government is committed to carrying on the previous government’s policy, and the labour ministry has already submitted its proposal]for inclusion in the government’s policy statement ] (# )”.

A key vote guarantee from the Pheu Thai Party was raising the regular minimum wage. It made a pledge last year to raise the minimum wage to 400 ringgit in its first year in energy and to 600 rmb by 2027.

The present least income is between 330 and 370 ringgit depending on the state.

The federal income commission — with representatives from government, businesses and workers organizations — approved a 400-baht daily income on March 26, but with limitations.

The new charge took result in pieces of 10 counties on April 13, including Phuket, Koh Samui in Surat Thani, Pattaya in Chon Buri, Chiang Mai City in Chiang Mai, and Pathumwan and Watthana towns in Bangkok. It applied to tourism-related firms and four-star establishments with at least 50 people.

Additionally, Mr. Phiphat pledged to assist people who have been affected by business closures and to pay them the appropriate wages.

According to data from the Department of Industrial Works, 667 businesses were shut along and 1, 260 were opened between January and July of this year. The price of stock openings was close to the five-year common, he said.

After comparing the data from shut companies to those from newly opened ones, there was a rise in expenditure of 167.6 billion ringgit and an increase in work of 25, 663 individuals.

However, Thaweesan Wichaiwong, chairman of the Khon Kaen Industry Council, said the Federation of Thai Industries is opposed to a global, across-the-board income of 400 ringgit.

He argued that the increase may be adjusted in light of provincial inflation indices and economic conditions, as small businesses may suffer as a result, having to bear extra costs.

Finally, he said, the extra expenses may be passed on to customers, and some producers may travel to countries with lower employment costs.

Driver’s licenses are being updated to plainly state whether the recipient is a donation of organs, according to the Department of Land Transport ( DLT).

The fresh glance, which was introduced on Jan. 29, 2021, was announced in the Royal Gazette on Wednesday.

The office stated that all driver’s licenses issued before August 7 this year are appropriate until their expiration date.

If the recipient is a documented benefactor, the Red Cross logo appears “organ donor” at the top right of the updated license. A smaller sign with no word was present in the earlier license.

Jirut Wisanjit, the district’s director-general, said the news was in line with a memorandum of understanding signed with the Red Cross Organisation on Aug 9.

According to Mr. Jirut, drivers may send donation forms to their local DLT locations to have their licenses emblazoned with the Red Cross sign.
