According to acting director-general of the Department of Employment Somchai Morakotsriwan, visa application and improvement charges for migrant workers from neighboring Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam may be reduced to 500 baht starting on November 11.

According to Mr. Somchai, the price changes went into effect on November 11 and became effective for four years after being announced by the Labour Ministry in the Royal Gazette on October 27.

This came in response to a government resolution on October 3 that Phiphat Ratchakitprakan, the minister of labor, had put forth. It was an agreement on the cooperation of Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and other countries in the area’s labor employment.

Beginning on November 11, the price for applying for a visa may be reduced from 2, 000 baht to 500 baht, each of which is valid for two years. Additionally, the cost of an extension will decrease from 1, 900 bahatt and be applied for an additional two-year period.

According to Mr. Somchai, the lower fees were meant to allow workers to reduce expenses and aid in economic recovery.

Civil servants coming in for earn increase: record

The government is considering raising civil servant earnings as a suitable price research is anticipated to be finished by this quarter.

The Office of the Civil Service Commission ( OCSC) is conducting a study into how the pay of civil servants and state business workers will be increased, according to Chalermphol Pensoot, chairman of Budget Bureau, on Sunday.

According to Mr. Chalermphol, the Budget Bureau and the OCSC will discuss the issue after the investigation is finished before submitting it to the case this quarter.

When asked how the pay raise would be paid, he replied that either the 2024 or 2025 financial years’ budgets could be used to pay for it.

If state companies are unable to meet the anticipated income increase, there is still a key funds set aside for civil servants’ salaries even though agencies have already submitted requests for funds allocations for the 2024 financial time.

The funds for the 2025 fiscal year can also be used to finance an raise because, according to Mr. Chalermphol, the Budget Bureau will present the budget to the government in January and still have time to distribute funds as requested by condition agencies.

The commission’s committee has written to state authorities about an education given by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin during a cabinet meeting on October 31. This information is based on an official government resource.

The teaching called for both an increase in the regular minimum wage for employees and a raise in civil servant pay.

According to the cause, Mr. Srettha informed the cabinet that the government’s policy statement made public in parliament included the regular minimum wage increase and the increase in civil servant pay.

According to the cause, the PM gave the Labour Ministry instructions during the meeting to investigate the possibility of the everyday wage increase and update the government on its progress as soon as possible. Although the state has promised one, it is still unclear when that will go into effect.

Before presenting the findings to the government by this quarter, the OCSC was even given instructions to collaborate with various organizations, such as the Finance Ministry, Budget Bureau, and National Economic and Social Development Council, to research the proposed increase in polite servants’ wages, a time frame and its potential impact.

Chai Wacharonke, a federal official, downplayed speculation that civil servant salaries would rise sooner rather than later on Sunday and NBP.

He claimed that the PM had just mandated a study to determine whether civil servant wages could be raised.

” Those organizations will need to give the P a presentation of the study.” There hasn’t been an urgent raise in the salaries however. It is still unknown when wages will be raised when the study is presented, he said.

In the meantime, it is unknown whether the proposed increase will be covered by the expenditure for the 2025 financial month, pending the study’s findings. He continued,” On the source of funding, the government did not come to any decision.

There are roughly 1.68 million position leaders at the moment.

Of them, on 427, 000 work as educators and teachers, while around 421, 000 are government employees and about 325,000 work in the armed forces.

Additionally, 1.24 million people work for people organizations, institutions, state firms, and state organizations.

The youngest child of former top Thaksin Shinawatra, who is currently the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, said civil servant spend may begin at 25, 000 ringgit if the group took power during an election campaign in Ubon Ratchathani on February 17.

The group’s then-leader, Cholnan Srikaew, stated that Pheu Thai has a plan of raising the monthly pay for bachelor ‘ degree graduates to 25, 000 baht by 2027, and that civil servants should also be given the same raise.

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin refuted claims that the Internal Security Operations Command ( Isoc) should be abolished, saying that it is not part of the government’s policy stated to parliament.

Yesterday, Mr. Srettha posted on his X( previously Twitter ) account that the ruling Pheu Thai Party had every right to declare that it would continue to operate.

Mr. Srettha, who also serves as the chairman of Isoc, declared that he would change the firm’s function to better support both democracy and economic growth as well as national security.

He will transform Isoc into a tool to defend people’s fundamental rights and improve financial protection as part of the government ‘ effort to modernize the military forces.

” We are totally aware that Isoc’s task of vanquishing the enemy of the country, which has been its primary goal since the Cold War, is now complete ,” he wrote.

According to Mr. Srettha, Pheu Thai favors progressive change. The group would not choose to make matters worse in the midst of the social issue that has torn the nation apart for the past 20 years. We support the idea of unity, he declared.

However, according to Super Poll, the majority of people think Isoc should not only stay in business but also broaden its responsibilities to protect online safety.

1,210 people aged 18 and older from numerous occupations participated in the crown on the role of Isoc from November 1 to 4.

According to 62.9 % of respondents, the company may broaden its responsibilities to monitor social media threats to national security or computer security. Isoc should continue to exist, according to 51.5 % of respondents, but its administration needs to be improved in order to better serve the needs of the populace.

45.7 % said Isoc brings together organizations that work together for the nation’s security and solidary, while 51.4 % said it has played a crucial role in coping with natural disasters like wildfires and flooding. 42.9 % of respondents also stated that Isoc has upheld national security, combated violence, drugs, and secession, as well as safeguarding the interests of the country.

As the conflict between the Myanmar junta and regional ethnic militias intensifies, the government is developing plans to return 162 Thai people who are imprisoned in Myanmar’s Shan status via Kunming in China, according to assistant police chief Surachate Hakparn yesterday.

The way, according to Pol Gen Surachate, was chosen to handle their relocation because the condition in Laukkaing, which is near the Chinese border in north Shan state, is deteriorating. This decision was made verbally during a recent discussion with Chinese and Myanmar authorities.

The deputy federal authorities chief is expected to visit Yangon today to work out the specifics for the return of the 29 Thais who were tricked into working as swindlers by human smugglers and ended up in Myanmar.

These patients were trafficked by gangs of Taiwanese criminals.

When they arrived in Laukkaing, the capital of the Kokang self-aggrandized territory, their visas were seized, making it impossible for them to keep the border town that had been hit by the conflict, he claimed.

They were rescued by Myanmar officials on Saturday from a resort in Laukkaing, where they had been hiding ever since they managed to get away from their criminals.

They joined 133 another Thais who had been rescued from smugglers in October after being taken to a house at the nearby military camp.

When Pol Gen Surachate gets to Yangon, he’ll go see the Thai soldiers’ defense station where they’re staying while they wait to be repatriated.

However, he did first meet with Myanmar authorities to discuss the most secure method of returning the stranded Thai citizens.

It would be safer to return the Thais via Kunming in China across the frontier as there has been reportedly furious battle between the Burmese army and military ethnic militias in the area. According to Pol Gen Surachate, it would be simpler to handle planes from Kunming.

All Siamese citizens in this group, according to a cause from an international anti-human trafficking organization, were safe and sound.

The Royal Thai Embassy in Yangon had teamed up with Myanmar authorities to save the Thais and give them safe protection, according to a post made earlier on Friday by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on X( previously Twitter ).

According to official Chai Wacharonke, he even gave state agencies instructions to deliver all Thais home safely and with immediate assistance.

In a warehouse in Phetchabun, representatives from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation discovered improper reports of wood for about 33 million baht.

30 Narra reports were discovered during a inventory raid, according to Panatchakorn Potibandit, chairman of the Forest Protection and Fire Control Office’s protective and suppression strategy system.

Nine were smuggled from the Phu Soi Dao National Park’s wood supply in the state of Uttaradit. According to Mr. Panatchakorn, officials also discovered 51 Cambodian oak logs, 59 Narra trees, and 50 pieces of Burma wood.

The 33 million baht worth of timber logs, according to officials, belonged to a forest group that kept them in the warehouse before smuggling them to neighboring nations.

According to Mr. Panatchakorn, police had received a statement from officers against the owner of the inventory.

A more detailed research is currently being conducted to find the gang’s members.

A forest group that cut Narra trees in Ban Huai Hin Fon of tambon Na Yang Klak in the Thep Sathit area earlier on Saturday had its den raided by officers from the Forest Resource Management Office in Chaiyaphum state.

They discovered five offenders. Only one person may be apprehended by the officers as they fled.

A Chaiyaphum resident named Saifon, 40, was discovered carrying an electric saw.

Police are currently investigating the financiers behind the forest crew after she was taken to Thep Sathit place.

Additionally, more than 60 sizable Narra files were processed by officials. According to police, the crew delivers the fraudulently obtained logs to international clients.

Social media rumors about seeing the northern lights over a mountaintop in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi have been refuted by the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand( Narit ).

It claims that rather than the renowned aurora borealis, the light in the sky is a reflection from jellyfish fishing vessels.

The images of brilliant green light in the sky above the park are” certainly not the northern lighting ,” according to Matipon Tangmatitham, an astronomer at Narit, in a Facebook post.

He claimed that Thailand cannot see the northern signals because its parallel is too far from the magnetic poles of the earth.

Additionally, because northern lights along the Arctic and Antarctic are typically open, observers can also make out stars in the night sky. However, he wrote,” The pictures taken at the mountain in Kaeng Krachan National Park show an opaque green surface that blocks the stars.”

He claimed that day, there were tiers of clouds obscuring the stars. However, it is difficult for the northern lights to look beneath cloud layers because they typically appear hundreds of kilometers above cloud height.

He speculated that the natural light may have originated from human activity or from the bright green lights used by jellyfish fishing boats. Because fish can see the wavelength of natural light at night, fishermen in this region of the world typically use it to catch them. The Gulf of Thailand is home to nations that use natural lighting to tuna jellyfish. He claimed that because of how bright the lighting is, astronauts from area stations have previously reported seeing enigmatic natural lights in the Gulf of Thailand.

The explanation came after a Facebook post from Kaeng Krachan National Park claiming that on November 3, northern lights had appeared at the summit of Khao Phanoen Thung hills to welcome visitors. The article quickly went viral.

Visitors to the area, according to garden chief Mongkol Chaipakdee, have previously seen the same incident. On November 2, 2021, and January 1, 2022, photography had taken pictures of the natural lighting atop Khao Phanoen Thung.

He speculated that the dispersion that occurs in Thailand during the change from the rainy season to the winter may be the source of the natural light. When light from lower ground strikes the mountain’s top layers of cloud, it may stretch.

Wuttiphong Thonglour, a past Move Forward Party member who was kicked out due to sexual harassment allegations, is being courted by the Thai Civilized Party, an ultra-party that did not win any House seats in the May 14 vote.

The Thai Civilized Party is ready to pleasant Mr. Wuttiphong into its collapse, according to party chief Mongkolkit Susintharanon on Facebook, as key members of the party do not view the claims made against him as being as serious as fraud or other unlawful activities.

Since they both hail from Phitsanulok and graduated from the same colleges and universities, Mr. Mongkolkit stated in the blog that he would like to give Mr Wuttiphong another opportunity.

Wuttiphong, according to Mr. Mongkolkit, accepted the invitation with open arms, though he has not yet made a final determination on the subject.

According to group innovator Thawatchai Tulathon, MFP professionals and MPs will determine within the next two days whether Chaiyamphawan” Puaut” Manpianjit may be kicked out of the party. The party has found evidence to support the sexual harassment claim made against him.

He claimed that the party managers were scheduled to meet online yesterday to debate whether Mr. Chaiyamphawan may be kicked out of the organization because he disobeyed the group’s demand to publicly apologize to the three women who reported him for abuse by Saturday.

According to Mr. Thawatchai, the meeting’s outcome will be revealed at a larger meeting of directors and MPs that will take place over the course of the next two days.

On November 1, a joint celebration meeting determined that Mr. Wuttiphong and M. Chaiyamphawan were wrong about various alleged cases of sexual abuse.

Mr. Chaiyamphawan was spared the purging because there weren’t enough votes in favor of his exclusion from the party, while Mrs. Wuttiphong was expelled.
