Inhabitants of Loei state are pressing the government to proceed with the long-awaited cable car initiative for Phu Kradueng National Park, which has received unanimous support from both the provincial government and the local area.

Residents and the Loei Provincial Merchant Association have posted banners all over the state calling on the government to prioritize the task, according to Kunawut Budaduang, chairman of the committee canvassing for the wire car. He emphasized that the group is unwavering in its call for action.

According to Mr. Kunawut,” the drive for a cord car has been going on for a while.” The concept was first explored when former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra visited Phu Kradueng National Park and discovered that Thailand had never developed a cable car system to promote tourism and accessibility.

Mr. Kunawut claimed that the concept gained momentum while former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra was in office, who likewise expressed interest in the project and promised to investigate its viability. No progress has been made, but, despite continued attention from several leaders, including Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai.

He criticized the current government under Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra for a lack of cooperation between organizations, claiming that responsibility for the job has been passed around without any clear direction.

The project’s management has not even been given formally written instructions, according to” Dasta]Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration.” We request that Ms. Paetongtarn give Dasta specific instructions so that the project is advance. A final choice is now necessary, he said.

Local support for the cable car is still palpable, with Mr. Kunawut claiming that over 90 % of the population supports the development.

He requested that Thaksin go back to the area and give his assistance once more to drive the project past the finish line.

Chuwit Mitrchob, Dasta’s deputy director, claimed that things are progressing on the government’s part. He claimed that Dasta’s table has been given instructions from Commerce and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong and that an environmental impact assessment is being conducted.

Also, the Budget Bureau is reviewing the site’s design cycle in light of a budget of 28 million baht that was approved under the Srettha Thavisin management.

Once approved, the feasibility research and extensive design period will begin, with an estimated six-month completion date.

According to Mr. Chuwit,” The minister gave Dasta the helm as the main coordinating organization two weeks ago.” With this, we are getting closer to turning this project into a reality, and development is scheduled to start right away.

One assume has confessed, while the other disputes the cost.

A 24-year-old European woman was raped the day after a Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan in this southern province by two American men who have been formally charged with the rape of her.

At 4.50 am on Friday, the incident took place in the Haad Rin shore stones area. The girl claimed in a police report that she had consumed a lot of drinking the night of the incident and that she was unsure about the personality of the suspects. &nbsp,

On Saturday evening, authorities detained two suspects — Vijay Dadasaheb, 47, and Rahul Balasaheb, 40 — following studies. &nbsp,

Mr. Balasaheb refuted the accusation, but Mr. Dadasaheb admitted to it.

The victim resisted him, according to Pol Col Apichart Chansamret, commander of Koh Pha Ngan police station, who claimed on Sunday that he did not murder the girl after he hugged and kissed her on the face. &nbsp,

The two men were wanted on arrest subpoenas issued by Koh Samui Provincial Court on Saturday for allegedly coercing murder into a victim while defenseless. A sentence in prison of 4 to 20 years and a great of between 80, 000 and 400, 000 ringgit are associated with the crime.

According to Pol Col Apichart,” Koh Phangan investigators have gathered information from the landscape, accounts from the sufferer, witnesses, as well as DNA samples from all parties involved,” according to Pol Col Apichart.

No other suspects were discovered by officers besides Mr. Dadasaheb and Mr. Balasaheb who were leaving the scene early on Friday morning. That night, they were interrogated and released afterwards. Both gentlemen immediately denied the allegations and claimed they were unable to recall the events. &nbsp, &nbsp,

An existing Bangkok-Thon Buri freeway ramp that connects to Rama II Road, a major westbound highway, has been severely damaged by the decline of a new expressway on Saturday, and its full reopening may take about a month. Transport authorities are now suggesting detours for drivers.

Surachet Laophulsuk, the governor of the Expressway Authority of Thailand ( Exat ), stated on Sunday that police anticipated very heavy traffic congestion in the area on Monday because the collapse severely impacted both inbound and outbound traffic on the Chalerm Maha Nakhon expressway ramp near the Dao Khanong toll plaza.

He claimed that dust could be removed in seven days and that the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway’s outbound part may be reopened within the next seven times.

However, one strand of the outgoing area was also damaged by the collapse. Replacement columns may become cast and installed as new columns. It will take 30 times, according to Mr. Surachet.

The Rama IX Bridge, which crosses Bangkok and Thon Buri across the Chao Phraya River, is connected to the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway, which is infected with damage. The damaged area connects to Rama II Road ( Highway 35 ), Bangkok’s main thoroughfare to the south.

The Exat government claimed that two temporary roads had been constructed for email traffic on the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway, but that he would prefer that people avoid the Rama IX Bridge. At 5:30 a.m., he advised travelers to leave their homes for function.

Mr. Surachet stated that the investigation into the origin of the collapse may commence after debris was removed from the site and that he wanted authorities to finish it in 20 days.

He said,” There could be some possible triggers, including land subsidence.”

The fresh Rama III-Dao Khanong-Bangkok Outer Western Ring Road road project, which was being constructed above the Chalerm Maha Nakhon road in the Dao Khanong place and over Rama II Road that connects with the Bangkok Outer Western Ring Road, collapsed.

The innovative expressway, which is five kilometers long, won’t collapse when finished, according to the Exat governor, who said collapses are possible during construction.

Between Bangkok and Thon Buri, travelers should use the new Thosamarachan Bridge, Bhumibol 1 and Bhumibol 2, Sathon Road, and the southeastern part of the Industrial Ring Road, according to Withaya Yamoung, assistant permanent secretary for transportation and part of Exat’s table.

Apirat Chaiwongnoi, the ex-chairman of the Exat and the Highways Department’s director general, claimed the collapse occurred along a major traffic thoroughfare and that the parties involved would make an effort to reopen it as soon as possible.

In the meantime, police advised motorists on Rama II Road to use Suksawat Road and pass through the Suksawat toll plaza to either enter or exit the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway.

Additionally, the police advised drivers to avoid Rama II Road, which connected to the collapse site, using Phetkasem and Borommaratchachonnani roads.

A Myanmar man who was reportedly a victim of an accident in the incident was reported to have been declared dead at Taksin Hospital on Sunday, leading to a six-person death toll.

A 39-year-old Thai engineer, two Thai workers, and two foreign workers were among the fatalities that have previously been reported.

After their contentious deportation drew international condemnation and US travel sanctions against local officials, a group from the Thai government did go to China this week to check on the well-being of tens of Uyghur refugees.

The group may involve members of the internet as well as deputy prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai, according to government official Jirayu Houngsub in a statement on Sunday. He claimed that his March 18-20 attend is a response to concerns raised by various nations regarding the migrants ‘ safety.

Thailand&nbsp, which defended its decision to send 40 Uyghurs to China last month, claims Beijing has assured it of their health and connectivity. Bangkok and Chinese officials struck a deal when it agreed to send the Uyghurs again after a decade in confinement as part of the visit.

An unnamed number of current and past Thai officials who are involved in the imprisonment of Uyghurs were put on notice by the US State Department on Friday. According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the restrictions are part of a fresh legislation that aims to combat China’s efforts to force governments to immediately re-indict Uyghurs and other citizens.

The Thai representatives who will be subject to immigration regulations were not identified by the US. It added that the measures might apply to some members of the qualified people ‘ families. &nbsp,

China-related relationships

The Feb. 27 imprisonment was described by Thai officials as the “best answer” to a Beijing backlash earlier this month. In recent years, Thailand has strengthened its ties to China, making its Eastern neighbor its biggest trading partner and a major source of foreign investment. In recent years, Thailand has become a long-standing ally of the US.

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra traveled to China last month, where she met with President Xi Jinping, and she pledged to intensify diplomatic relations, including a shared crackdown on online scams that might have an impact on cross-border travel. &nbsp,

The European Parliament imposed new travel restrictions on Americans the day after a resolution condemning the imprisonment and calling on Thailand to put an end to any further forced migrants ‘ return to places where their lives are in danger. The lawmakers likewise urged Thailand to reform its contentious der majeste law, which shields the royal family from criticism, and grant amnesty to politicians and activists accused of being” under repressive rules.” &nbsp,

Ms. Paetongtarn’s management has been looking for ways to minimize the effects of an intensifying trade battle on its economy due to the dubious stances taken by the US and European Union. In addition to trying to conclude a free-trade agreement with the EU, Thai officials are weighing exports of more US items in an effort to reduce a$ 35 billion industry deficit with Washington and prevent possible reciprocal taxes.

China’s treatment of the Uyghurs, a Muslim minority living in the northwest of Xinjiang, is in the country’s foreign spotlight. Beijing has accused the US and other countries of putting them to work in companies and detention centers, as well as of putting them through exchange programs that force them to leave their homes in rural areas. China has refuted the complaints.

The team sent up to Xinjiang next month was the last of thousands of Tamils who fled China in 2014 and were detained by the then-military state. The management relocated some of the Uyghurs to Turkey the following month and returned 109 of them to China. &nbsp,

According to Mr. Jirayu, Thailand plans to send more formal ambassadors to ensure the health of the Uyghurs and address the concerns of another” civilized nations,” adding that the state fully complies with human rights. &nbsp,

To promote low-carbon travel, Thailand and Japan does co-launch a fresh premium-grade diesel.

H-Fame, a premium biodiesel that lowers the rate of engine wear and is suitable for trucks, has been introduced by Thailand’s National Energy Technology Center ( ENTEC ) and Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization ( NEDO ).

With the assistance of the Japan Science and Technology Agency ( JST ) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency ( JICA ), H-Fame biodiesel was created in 2017.

Sumittra Charojrochkul, ENTEC executive chairman, stated that the item has been thoroughly tested and is now ready for mass production.

Efficiency of true H-Fame is comparable to that of B7, a typical fuel, and it emits less particulate matter.

She claimed that the tests were carried out on a number of different types of cars, including a four-wheel vehicle traveling a distance of 10,000 kilometers, a big truck, and a forklift truck.

According to Yuji Yoshimura, a senior director at ENTEC, the cost of an H-Fame may drop as low as 1 baht per gallon while its level of greenhouse gas emissions is 47 % lower than usual.

The H-Fame advanced diesel is a novel, high-efficiency solution for the transportation industry, according to Nuwong Chollacoop, head of the ENTEC’s Low Carbon Energy Research Group.

H-Fame aims to assist businesses in adhering to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ( CBAM ) of the European Union while supporting Thailand in meeting its carbon neutrality goal by 2050 and achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065.
