The state will increase its New Year’s Day road safety plan from seven to ten days.

The National Alcoholic Beverage Policy Committee approved the improvement with an extra three times, according to Vice Prime Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong on Thursday. As previously agreed, the strategy will begin on December 27 and ending on January 5.

The authorities wants the plan to include more gates to prevent road injuries, especially those brought on by drunk drivers, because Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is concerned about people’s protection, he said.

He claimed that many people died next New Year as a result of drunk driving. During the last New Season health plan, there were 2, 288 injuries, 2, 307 accidents, and 284 fatalities. The federal intends to reduce these figures for the New Year’s Eve in 2025.

More anti-drinking initiatives will be launched by the federal both online and offline. In addition to the authorities checkpoints, there will be more area checkpoints established by village leaders.

Local authorities may be instructed to totally enforce the law against all vehicles by determining alcohol consumption at checkpoints across all provinces.

In all cases, he said, police officers must arrest the drivers or riders if the blood alcohol content exceeds the legal limit of 0.05 %, he said.

‘ Unity undamaged’ despite vote split

Despite the Bhumjaithai Party voting in opposition to another coalition parties to use the contested double-majority rule in a contract amendment referendum, according to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, government unity is still alive.

There is no need to “break echelons,” according to Ms. Paetongtarn.

Allow the legislative process proceed. Yet MPs in the same party are exempt from similar thought patterns. It doesn’t matter. The majority of coalition parties and the major opposition Women’s Party on Wednesday voted to reject the election act that included the dual majority rule, saying,” We also work together, regardless.”

Following the Senate’s vote on Tuesday, where a majority of lawmakers supported the double-majority condition, the House of Representatives were able to cast a ballot on the legislation.

More than 50 % of voters had cast their ballots, and the majority of those who cast their ballots may endorse it, with a double lot.

The Senate argued that passing a referendum that would consider matters of national importance, such as the constitution’s rewriting, was the best way to go about doing so.

But, the House of Representatives argued that the proposed rule would make it more difficult to pass referendums, and instead offered a second majority, which would allow for a winning vote of any size to be deemed legitimate.

Before, the joint House-Senate council tried to iron out dissenting opinions between the two Homes. In the end, the panel’s individuals in the Senate managed to win, and the council voted in favor of the double majority rule.

The House rejected the dual majority rule-incorporating election act on Wednesday, with one acquiescence and one no-vote, by a ballot of 326 to 61.

Those opposing the costs were the alliance Pheu Thai, United Thai Nation, Democrat, Prachachart, Kla Dharm and Chartpattana functions. Its opposition events, including PP, Thai Sang Thai, and Palang Pracharath, even opposed it.

59 MPs from Bhumjaithai and two Members from Thai Sang Thai were the people who cast ballots for the costs.

The two tanks have presently convened individually to vote on the legislation. They stood strongly by their positions.

The unresolved disagreement has necessitated the bill being put on the back burner for 180 days during a” cooling-off” period. If the House persists on the individual lot standard after that, the expenses will be presented to the King for approval and enacted into law.

How many elections will be held in order to amend the contract as the next issue arises?

The Constitutional Court has stipulated three referendums: a second one inquiring if voters agree with a mandate update, a minute on whether Part 256 of the law, which makes way for setting up a charter-drafting system, needs amending, and a third on whether voters ‘ support for a new charter may be adopted.

In an effort to save time, the PP is consulting Parliament President Wan Muhammad Noor Matha to lessen the polls to two sessions in order to allow the current state to complete the mandate update within its lifetime.

The Department of Agriculture is encouraging the use of aircraft technology to assist the country’s aging producers.

Speaking during a conference on” Professional Farming Drone under Academic Principle and Laws” organised on Wednesday by the office and planting companies, Pongthai Thaiyotin, the district’s deputy captain, said that the agricultural industry plays a major role in the country’s economic growth.

Thailand has 150 million ray of farm, with over 7 million gardening people, he said. Their average period is around 57, and he added that the figure is expected to rise to 65 by the upcoming generation. Due to this demographic trend, there is a need for agricultural services, particularly chemical spraying aircraft service, he noted.

” Drone technology will be more important in the farming industry. However, there is no set standard for the service, so he said the department has collaborated with partners to create the best practices for the best outcomes.

The department has released a checklist for using drones to spray pesticides. The guidebook is intended to assist drone operators in developing the skills and best practices for chemical use on farmland, according to the department.

Additionally, the department has introduced identification cards for providers of drone services to verify standards and evidence that they have completed training.

Kelly Stange, consultant to the US Embassy in Thailand’s agricultural sector, told the audience that drone technology is a “great innovation” for helping farmers to reduce the cost of investment, higher crop production and proper use of chemicals with less impact on the environment.

” We hope to see further development of drone technology through our cooperative partners,” she said.

According to Chortip Salayapong, director of the Plant Protection Research and Development Office, using drones effectively in farming would lessen environmental effects and improve safety for users and communities.

The doctors who are allegedly involved in treating a former prime minister who has been imprisoned are the focus of the ethics research.

Thailand’s Medical Council is requesting detailed information from Police General Hospital regarding Thaksin Shinawatra‘s condition, therapy, and extended stay there instead of prison.

In response to claims that favors had been made to allow the original leading to remain at the doctor, a subcommittee led by Dr. Amorn Leelarasamee, a former committee president, is conducting an honest investigation.

The sub-committee, which is seeking to establish whether health professionals breached any honest guidelines, apparently sent a written need to the director-general of the doctor on Monday.

It demanded information about Thaksin’s entrance and treatment, all medical professionals who treated him, their statements about the treatment, and all accredited documentation regarding his treatment for six months, beginning on January 1st, 2018.

It requested that the data be made available by January 15.

Democratic activists gathered on Wednesday at the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s headquarters to demand that it finish its investigation into Thaksin’s expanded clinic stay within the next three months.

They refute earlier claims that Thaksin’s health was brittle and that he appeared healthy and engaged in activities like golf and traveling shortly after leaving the hospital.

Thaksin paid all the expenses for his six-month remain, including a VIP room on the patient’s 14th surface that cost 8, 500 ringgit a day, a parliamentary commission was told next month.

Thaksin, who graduated from the Police Academy and worked at the Metropolitan Police Bureau before turning to business and then to elections, &nbsp, returned to the state on Aug&nbsp, 22 last year after 15 years in self-imposed captivity.

He was taken to the Supreme Court that evening, where he received a sentence of eight years in prison for violating the constitution and having conflicts of interest while serving as prime minister earlier to 2006. Following the royal mercy, the sentence was afterwards reduced to a year.

Doctors at Bangkok Remand Prison decided that he should be transferred to the hospital because he had neck pain, hypertension, and lower blood oxygen levels on his first evening there.

Thaksin, 75, was legally permitted to get treatment outside captivity for&nbsp, 120 days, but the Department of Corrections allowed him to maintain his hospital stay for 180 days, saying that problems in prison was threaten his career.

On the grounds that he was elderly and seriously ill, he was released from the hospital on February 18. When he arrived home, and on a few occasions over the course of the following month, he was seen wearing a neck brace and a sling on one arm.

Since then, however, he has been highly active, travelling around the country and campaigning enthusiastically for the Pheu Thai Party that is nominally headed by his daughter, the prime minister.

The former prime minister’s one-year prison term was officially overturned on August 31 of this year.

According to the Bangkok meeting, the military dictatorship is available to inviting foreign ballot observers.

In the midst of an escalating civil war, including the potential invitation of unusual surveys observers, the foreign secretary of Myanmar gave information to neighboring nations on plans to hold elections next year, according to Thai officials ‘ reports on Thursday.

Thailand is holding two distinct local discussions on Myanmar in Bangkok this year, the first of which will feature members of the war-torn nation’s five neighbors, including China, Bangladesh, and India, followed by one for some members of the Asian regional bloc on Friday.

In Thursday’s meet, Foreign Minister Than Swe outlined a political strategy and development on election procedures, including a community survey and register of 53 political parties, said Thai Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa.

” He said there is an intention to invite foreign (election ) observers, such as from neighbouring countries”, Mr Maris told reporters, referring to Than Swe and providing details of a rare explanation to the international community by the Myanmar junta.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, Myanmar has experienced unrest because its military overthrew a civilian government and resisted pro-democracy protests, triggering a strong, global military rebellion.

The coup is pushing to hold an election in 2025 despite being battered on numerous frontlines, contending with a collapsing economy, and having lots of political parties banned, an exercise that has been extensively derided as a fake by its detractors.

The effect of Myanmar’s neighborhood to the regime’s election strategy was “positive overall”, said Nikorndej Balankura, spokeswoman for the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, adding that all countries wanted a sharp answer to the issue.

According to him,” the foreign minister of Myanmar stated that it has an open doorway for equitable political dialogue.”

The Asean Five Point Consensus peace plan will be a central component of local efforts to end the conflict, according to Thai authorities, despite Myanmar’s neighbors ‘ calls for ongoing ties with the coup.

A group of Asean people, including recent head Laos, Thailand and Malaysia, which will get over the bloc’s chairman in 2025, may meet in Bangkok on Friday.

” Tomorrow’s discussion will be a discussion at the Asean level”, Mr Maris said,” Laos is chair and I will report to the meeting the result of this meeting”.

Former Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra has been roped in as Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s personal adviser. Shinawatra will take over the bloc in the following year.

Thaksin, the father of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, previously sought a mediation role in the Myanmar conflict but was rebuffed, Thai media reported earlier this year.

According to Dulyapak Preecharush, a professor of Southeast Asian studies at Thammasat University, Thailand is trying to gain more traction with regional diplomacy in Myanmar.

He continued,” Thailand has been trying to draw these nations that are affected by the Myanmar civil war to talk together.”” This will be a test for Thailand as a host,” he said.
