Additionally, Pheu Kradueng is appointed as the new head of rhinoceros management.

After a wild elephant killed a feminine visitor by killing it, Phu Kradueng National Park in Loei has been closed since December 12.

Yet, due to safety concerns, some garden areas remain off-limits to visitors, such as roads to rivers and common beliefs, according to the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation.

A new garden chief has been appointed in conjunction with the reopening. Adison Hemathanon, who was reportedly stepping down for health reasons, may be replaced by Jirachai Arkajak, the commander of the Phu Luang Wildlife Research Station in Loei, according to the office.

Following the visitor tourist’s fatality on December 11, Mr. Jirachai may face the challenge of managing the trouble of wild animals.

The elephant attacked the 49-year-old girl from Chachoengsao state while she was walking along a road from her campground to the Phen Phop Mai river.

Mr. Jirachai was chosen for his experience in managing wild elephants, and he has conducted studies of the rhino population and movement in Phetchabun’s Nam Nao National Park and Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary.

In a related growth, a House committee studying lasting solutions to the problem of wild animals reported that in recent years, there have been more human fatalities and injuries.

The committee’s deputy president, Salit Butnain, reported that in the 2024 fiscal year that ended on September 30th, 34 people were hurt and 39 died, which is the highest number of wild elephant murders in Thailand since records began years ago.

Since October, seven people have died and three have been injured, with four incidents occurring between Dec 1 and 15.

This shows how serious of a concern the wild elephant issue is and how all parties must work together to solve it, he said.

Mr Salit said the committee had proposed some options, including changing rules and payment procedures for damage caused by wild elephants to crops, house, and injuries, disabilities or deaths. Additionally, it supports strategies to reduce the wild elephant people, such as blocking migration routes for protection trees.

Due to paid traffic charges, the Department of Land Transport had refused to issue a tax badge for a car.

A driver who had not paid his traffic fines had a victory in a court decision. The Department of Land Transport ( DLT) had fought against the government’s decision to not issue a vehicle tax sticker.

The district’s attorney, Amnat Kaewprasong, who had brought the case against the DLT, its director-general, the Bangkok Land Transport company, and the Royal Thai Police, was ordered by the Central Administrative Court on Wednesday to challenge the badge.

Because the case involved operational agencies or government representatives performing their duties, the lawsuit claimed that the event fell under the purview of the &nbsp, Administrative Court.

After receiving his quarterly revenue settlement, the plaintiff claimed that the district’s membership division did not issue a vehicle tax sticker. Mr. Amnat just received a tax transaction receipt that was stamped, with the option to use it for 30 days in place of the tax sticker.

Additionally, it printed out a file containing information on traffic offenses that required to be reported to Mr. Amnat before the sticker, which drivers may show on their vehicle’s windshield to indicate that taxes have been paid.

The DLT defended its choice, citing a police-related agreement to share digital data to aid law enforcement and prosecute drivers who don’t give fines on time. According to the agreement, cars ‘ vehicle tax registration may remain suspended for failing to pay fines on time.

The plaintiff claimed that the plan was unlawful because it prevented cars from being able to sue for the charges, which are issued by officers without the need for a permit or court order.

The court determined that the contract was in error and did not follow the Land Traffic Act’s rules and procedures. Thus, the ministry had no power to postpone issuing the duty sticker to Mr Amnat, it said.

It said the unwillingness to challenge the tax decal violated the complainant’s rights. Taxes are directly related to the car, while fines are related to the vehicle. The court’s decision states that linking the two is unlawful and harmful to the driver.

The judge ordered the office to challenge the badge within three days, and pay compensation to the claimant of 3, 151.50 ringgit, plus interest. The other accused ‘ issues were dropped.

The police issued two announcements in October that made it possible to impose predetermined sanctions for traffic violations, according to a ruling from the Central Administrative Court in October.

The decision, which can still be appealed, potentially renders thousands of visitors cards issued since 2020 irrelevant.

In the seventh case, Arnon Nampa was given a second 2 years, 8 months, and more time for lese-majeste and rebellion.

In connection with his speech at a rally in 2020 calling for the restoration of the king, human rights attorney Arnon Nampa received a second sentence for lese-majeste and sedition.

The decision in the case — the fifth of 14 the advocate is facing — will be appealed, his attorneys said. His another five beliefs are still pending on appeal, and no verdict has yet been reached, they continued.

The incident that was heard on Thursday stemmed from a grievance Arnon made about notes at a rally in Bangkok with a Harry Potter theme on August 3, 2020.

The respondent was found guilty by the court in accordance with Area 112 of the Criminal Code, which covers sedition, and Section 116 of the Royal Defamation Law.

” The defendant’s steps were a single action that violated many rules. So, the judge imposed a sentence for him to serve four years in prison under Section 116, TLHR claims.

Because he gave evidence that was important to the test, the sentence was reduced by one-third, to 2 times and 8 times. Arnon received his next conviction this month.

Arnon has been detained since Sept. 26, 2023, pending appeals against all of his views, and his attorneys claim that he has been denied parole 31 days.

Since the start of the Free Youth demonstrations in July 2020, 1, 958 individuals have been charged for social participation and appearance, according to statistics from TLHR to October 31 of this year. According to Section 112, at least 275 people are facing charges of lese-majestety, and 154 others have been charged with rebellion.

As the nation’s aviation industry is on a journey to stronger expansion next year, airports global are expected to accommodate more than 18, 000 flights, according to the Transport Ministry.

As the nation’s aviation industry is on a journey to stronger expansion next year, airports global are expected to accommodate more than 18, 000 flights, according to the Transport Ministry.

From Dec 27–Jan 2, a total of 18, 280 flights, or 2, 211 flights per day, will operate at airports nationwide, up from 14 % when compared with the same period last year, Deputy Transport Minister Manaporn Charoensri says.

The Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Ltd. ( Aerothai ) compiles the figures.

According to the assistant transport secretary, the surge in private air travel is a result of strong demand from visitors to the regions during the holidays and from tourists making trips to the provinces to celebrate the new season.

The aircraft sector is expected to continue to perform highly next season. In comparison to the numbers from the previous year, which is 981, 270 planes, at least a million are expected to serve airports globally in the year ahead.

Ms. Manaporn added that terminals ‘ facilities and technologies will be upgraded to accommodate escalating customers as a result of the steadily recovering tourism industry.

The deputy secretary claimed that she had instructed Aerothai and relevant organizations to take the I-Smart method in handling the flight jump and prepare for the New Year’s eve migration.

I-Smart ( inclusive, safe, security and sustainable, approachable, reasonable price and timely and technology ) is&nbsp, the heart of providing convenience&nbsp, and ease of travel for passengers, she said.

Flights also want to work to reduce overcrowding and avoid flight difficulties.

Nopasit Chakpitak, president of Aerothai, stated that during the holiday season, the company is ramping up High Intensity Runway Operations ( Hiros ) to increase the runway’s flight handling capacity.

Hiros aim to shorten the airport ownership time of each aircraft in order to allow for more airport landing and takeoff.

In contrast, preferred-exit airport may be opened to reduce gridlock on the planes.

Mr. Nopasit claimed Hiros may increase Suvarnabhumi Airport’s existing 68-frequency flight handling capability to 94 per hour. Additionally, it may increase the power at Don Mueang Airport from 52 to 57 to 60 flights per minute.

In addition, the aircraft at Phuket International Airport is anticipating a rise in passenger visitors over the holidays.

The House of Representatives passed both its second and third observations of a bill that would allow political committees to discipline state officials who refuse to appear for political inquiries.

However, the most contentious area, which gives these committees the authority to even impose legal private companies on their summonses, was voted down and axed in the second reading before the remaining parts were approved in the third and final checking.

Numerous Pheu Thai Party MPs viewed this specific section as a flaw that could be easily exploited by an immoral committee member in exchange for a bribe from the affected parties.

” Many state officials have been extorted for money]by a parliamentary committee ] … It’s something of the past now for such an unethical committee to make money out of their authority”, said Cholnan Srikaew, a Pheu Thai Party MP for Nan.

Even though some different sections of this invoice initially faced strong opposition from MPs who argued that these sections were constitutional, they all ultimately passed.

According to Dr. Cholnan and a number of other Pheu Thai MPs, these parts appeared to be in violation of the constitution, and they may have resulted in the Constitutional Court receiving a complaint to view them.

For example, Section 13 mandates that the prime minister and cabinet officials accept responsibility for making sure that state officials under their watch do not provide documents or deliver statements to a commission.

The PM or other government officials are therefore required to appear in man during a committee examination in the event that state officials do not comply with committee instructions.

Pheu Thai MPs had doubted whether it would actually work because the bill didn’t mention any penalties for the PM or other government officials who didn’t show up in person.

In his ability as a member of the House committee vetting the bill, Rangsiman Rome, a record MP from the main opposition party, claimed that the PM and cabinet ministers could face dereliction of duty violations under different laws for failing to show.

The Senate will then be given the opportunity to consider the bill.

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.
