Health Groundbreaking National Centre for Microbiome Medicine & Microbial Health Technologies
Picture courtesy of Naewna, A leap in Thailand’s health and biotech sectors was announced yesterday with the official launch of the Hub of Talents in Microbiome Medicine and Microbial Technology for One Health (MMOH), the nation’s first integrated centre for advanced expertise in medical microbiome science and microbial technology for health. The launch event, held at the Kamolmas Room, The Sukosol Hotel Bangkok, was a collaboration between the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), Khon Kaen University, the National Phenome Centre, leading universities and industrial partners across the country. The initiative aims to revolutionise the country’s capacity in personalised medicine, microbial biotechnology and One Health policy through a centralised hub of high-level experts. MMOH has received an initial government investment of 2 million baht in the 2025 fiscal year and is designed to address urgent health challenges including chronic diseases, antibiotic resistance and weakened immunity, issues increasingly prevalent in Thai society. With advancements in microbiome research now recognised as key to understanding inter-individual variation and developing precision healthcare, MMOH is poised to become a national engine for next-generation medical science. A National Hub of Expertise Across Four Core Fields The centre brings together specialists in four key domains: 1. Health Sciences and Medicine 2. Food and Pharmaceuticals 3. Medical Biotechnology 4. Agriculture and the Environment This cross-disciplinary approach will drive innovation in health promotion, personalised nutrition, disease prevention and the sustainable application of beneficial microbes across human, animal, plant and environmental ecosystems. Five Strategic Missions of MMOH 1. Human Capital Development: Train high-skill professionals in microbiome-based medicinal products (MMPs) and microbial biotechnology. 2. Accelerated Innovation Transfer: Bridge research and clinical application through collaboration between clinicians, scientists, and industry. 3. Standardisation and Policy: Develop national policy frameworks and certification systems for microbiome-based products. 4. International Research Visibility: Elevate Thai microbiome research onto the global stage. 5. Global Collaboration: Establish international networks with top institutions including Murdoch University (Australia), Imperial College London (UK), Zhejiang University and Fudan University (China). Dr Suchaon Saengnipanthkul, Associate Professor and Head of MMOH, described the centre as “a strategic infrastructure linking knowledge, research and technology to create a modern and precise health system for Thailand and the ASEAN region.” Ms Sirinporn Diowtrakul, Deputy Director of the NRCT, added that “Thailand urgently needs an academic hub capable of driving the BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) Economy Model and steering the nation towards sustainable biomedical and bioeconomic futures.” Khon Kaen University President, Assoc. Prof. Dr Charnchai Panthongviriyakul, affirmed the university’s full support for MMOH as a training ground for the next generation of researchers and innovators, while Ms Nijaporn Chongudomrerk, CEO of Mod Gut Co., Ltd., welcomed the centre as “a much-needed bridge linking research outcomes to the design of truly personalised health products.” Dr Jutarop Petcharaburanin, Deputy Head of MMOH and Director of the National Phenome Centre, concluded: “Thailand has the potential to become a regional leader in microbiome medicine. MMOH is a critical step in advancing sustainable health technologies for both Thais and the global community.” As microbiome science continues to shape the future of medicine, MMOH’s launch represents a bold move by Thailand to position itself at the forefront of this transformative field.

Cheap gym for walking
Not to mention the added risks of: •being caught in expected tropical storms, downpours and lightning strikes •lack of toilet facilities in an unexpected bilious attack •hit by an errant motorist - or motorcyclist using the footpath •attacked/harassed/robbed by one or more of Pattaya’s many druggos, drunks or other random criminals/lowlifes. A cool, comfortable, safe walking environment at home is by far the most sensible and convenient location for the serious walker/jogger. Home treadmills can be purchased for as little as 1,600 baht. -

Report Instant Savoury Delight: French Salami Debuts in Thai 7-Eleven
Sucharit Mailarp BANGKOK - French culinary flair is making its way to Thailand's convenience stores, as Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF) introduces Bucher Rosette Salami and Bucher Chorizo Salami from France at 7-Eleven. Starting from July 31, 419 select branches will offer these gourmet delights, with further expansions planned across Bangkok and tourist hotspots. Crafted by renowned Montagne Noire, in collaboration with the French Embassy, these premium cold cuts target discerning shoppers and international visitors. Presented in 30-gramme Grab & Go packs, priced at 59 baht, they're perfect with a glass of wine or a cheese platter and available at select stores. "This is the first time authentic French salami is available at a convenience store like 7-Eleven," stated Sucharit Mailarp, Senior Managing Director of CPF Global Food Solutions. "We aim to make premium products more accessible to Thai consumers and tourists." The initial rollout targets 419 branches, with expansion plans across Bangkok and its sprawling network of over 6,000 stores. CPF envisions these high-end snacks reaching 50% of all 7-Eleven locations eventually, according to Brand Buffet. Sucharit explained that the company is examining consumer behaviour to steer its future offerings. "We are studying our customer base for potential expansion. Changes in product size and packaging are on the horizon to match spending trends." "In the past, shoppers might have spent 50–60 baht. Now, it’s 30–40 baht," Sucharit noted. "Smaller package sizes could encourage more purchases." CPF’s premium concept adapts to economic shifts, highlighting health-focused choices without hefty price tags. "Economic downturns lead to health-consciousness. Premium isn’t just about price; it’s about well-being," Sucharit added. We predict that tourist-centric areas like Phuket and Pattaya will thrive with these French-style salamis, as they appeal to global tastes and food trends. With this strategic move, CPF appears poised to entice the palates of both locals and tourists. The salami’s debut marks a significant expansion of international flavours in Thailand's retail space, with its unique appeal likely to shape future culinary offerings in convenience stores nationwide.
