Heavy rains have wreaked havoc in Patong, with landslips and potholes forming on waterlogged roads, culminating in a significant incident yesterday when a large tree fell onto power lines between Patong and Kamala. Patong Mayor Chalermsak Maneesri today urged all residents and drivers to remain extra cautious. In an official notice issued on 20th September, the Patong Municipality warned the public to "Watch out! Follow the situation of flash floods, forest runoff, flooding, mudslides, and strong wind waves." Residents affected by these adverse conditions are advised to seek help at the Emergency Operations Centre for Disaster Relief located at Patong Municipality. Incidents can be reported to the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office, which is operational round the clock at 076-342600. Repair teams have been swiftly deployed to fix damaged roads and drains, while officials stay vigilant in monitoring landslide-prone areas. Yesterday afternoon's heavy rain and strong winds were so severe that a large tree collapsed onto high-voltage power lines, blocking traffic on the Kamala-Patong road. Patong Traffic Police responded promptly, cordoning off the area and managing traffic flow. Officials from the Provincial Electricity Authority's Patong branch were on the scene to repair the damaged power lines and remove the fallen tree. Patong Police warned that should the heavy rain persist, the area will stay sectioned off to prevent further incidents, likely causing more traffic delays. Residents and drivers are encouraged to stay updated on weather conditions and take necessary precautions while the situation develops. File photo for reference only -- 2024-09-20

Thailand Tightens Rules on Banks, Telecoms to Combat Online Scams File photo for reference only In a decisive move to tackle the growing issue of online scams, Thailand's Digital Economy and Society Ministry (DES) has announced amendments to regulations, making banks and telecom operators accountable for negligence in handling such crimes. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1338690-thailand-tightens-rules-on-banks-telecoms-to-combat-online-scams/

In a decisive move to tackle the growing issue of online scams, Thailand's Digital Economy and Society Ministry (DES) has announced amendments to regulations, making banks and telecom operators accountable for negligence in handling such crimes. During the "60 Years of Excellence: Creating Great Leaders, Designing the Future" seminar hosted by the Thailand Management Association, DES Permanent Secretary Wisit Wisitsora-At highlighted the new measures. These rules aim to strengthen last year’s anti-technological crime regulations by specifically targeting negligent service providers whose actions, or lack thereof, facilitate online scams. "Enforcement will depend on the negligence level of the service provider related to the victim's losses," Wisit explained, underlining the DES Ministry's focus on enhancing digital trust. With online scams and gambling constituting an estimated 45% of Thailand’s GDP, such measures are deemed critical. Additionally, the ministry allocated 200 million baht (US$6 million) for the 2025 fiscal year to further its e-government "Cloud First" policy, which will transition state agencies to paperless operations and support advanced technologies like data analytics and artificial intelligence. By 2024, Thailand expects 50% of its government services to be paperless, spanning various ministries and agencies. On the manpower front, the DES Ministry will launch a "learn to earn" platform to address labour shortages by efficiently matching skilled workers with market demands. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to boost Thailand's digital competitiveness and improve its global ranking. The ministry's comprehensive approach, from tightening regulations to modernising government operations and addressing digital manpower needs, marks a significant stride toward a safer and more advanced digital future for Thailand.

They came in droves to buy cheap products, a customary activity following the flooding season in this trading hub. The excitement was palpable as shoppers seized the opportunity to find bargains, particularly on electrical appliances starting from just 10 baht.

The Government of Thailand is intensifying efforts to promote its new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) to attract foreign nationals who wish to work while travelling in the country, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Maris Sangiampongsa. Maris announced that the ministry is playing a significant role in promoting the DTV, which is anticipated to generate revenue for Thailand. He emphasised that the visa will facilitate long-term stays for foreigners who want to work remotely while enjoying life in Thailand. “It will help facilitate foreign people who would like to stay for a long time in Thailand and also work long-distance.” Maris mentioned an example of a friend of his son who has been working for Disney World, based in the United States, but has been living in Phuket for the past six months. Hotel operators in Phuket have reportedly launched special packages targeting foreign digital nomads who prefer to live in Thailand while working remotely for overseas employers. These individuals are a key demographic for the DTV. Maris reassured that foreign nationals using the DTV will not need to worry about their visas expiring too soon or dealing with complex visa procedures. The DTV allows foreign nationals to stay in Thailand for extended periods and are considered global talents who will bring unique skills to the Thai economy. Destination visa Their presence is expected to benefit the entire economy, from local vendors to restaurants, hotels, and tourist attractions. “The programme is expected to generate income for local people as these foreign people can spend their money in local areas where they live and work at the same time for between six months and one year in Thailand. “This will also help stimulate the Thai economy. I welcome all of those who would like to come and work [while] in Thailand.” The DTV allows foreigners to stay in Thailand for up to 180 days per visit, with the option to extend for another 180 days, making it possible to stay for up to a year. Additionally, Thailand has expanded its visa-free entry policy, increasing the number of eligible countries from 57 to 93, including China and India. The entry period has been doubled to 60 days, extendable by another 30 days at an immigration office. To prevent potential misuse of the expanded visa exemption system, the government is introducing an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system. This system is designed to be hassle-free for those planning visits to Thailand. Maris explained that the ETA will enhance the screening process of incoming visitors while improving security and travel convenience. The system is expected to be in effect by the end of the year. Upon completing the online ETA form, visitors with visa exemptions will receive unique QR codes, which they will need to present to immigration officials. Maris also mentioned that he recently discussed Thailand’s plan to become a regional tourism hub with foreign counterparts. The government is working on the Six Countries, One Destination scheme to position Thailand as a regional tourism hub. The countries involved are Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, reported Bangkok Post. Maris committed to expediting negotiations with these five other ASEAN countries to implement this joint tourist visa policy with Thailand. “There has been much progress in the scheme, I believe it will take place soon. If it is implemented, it will help encourage more tourists to visit the region and it will greatly benefit the economy in the region. “Think of the Schengen Visa in Europe, which makes it easy for people around the world to travel to several European countries with just one visa.” By Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-09-20

Thailand’s Public Diplomacy Award named three remarkable figures as this year’s recipients, the Thailand Foundation revealed yesterday. A revered monk, an iconic composer, and a leading cultural institution will be honoured for their monumental contributions to promoting Thai culture and values across the globe. The prestigious honour has gone to Phra Phrompacharayanmuni (Ajahn Jayasaro), a British-Thai Buddhist monk, whose dedication to spreading Thai Theravada Buddhism worldwide earned him his spot. “Ajahn Jayasaro has played a significant and rigorous role in making the essence of Thai Buddhism known to the world while promoting an international appreciation of Thai identity, culture, and spiritual values.” Joining him is Somtow Sucharitkul, Thailand’s national treasure and internationally celebrated composer and writer. His art has shaped the global view of Thai culture for decades. “Somtow’s works have been globally admired and helped promote Thai characteristics for years.” Rounding out the trio is The Siam Society, a cultural powerhouse in Thailand. Celebrated for its meticulous work documenting Thai art, culture, archaeology, and history, the Society has been a cultural bridge for over 120 years, fostering friendships between Thailand and diverse global communities. The awards, established by the Foreign Ministry and Thailand Foundation, recognise individuals and groups who promote global goodwill and friendship through cultural diplomacy. The foundation confirmed that the official award ceremony will take place in December at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reported Thai PBS World.

Thai hotels back new co-payment scheme amid fraud cases Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Hotel operators in Thailand have embraced a proposal to revive the co-payment scheme for hotel expenses, viewing it as a potential boost for domestic spending. However, concerns have been raised regarding 1,400 unresolved fraud cases from the scheme’s previous phases. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1338682-thai-hotels-back-new-co-payment-scheme-amid-fraud-cases/

Hotel operators in Thailand have embraced a proposal to revive the co-payment scheme for hotel expenses, viewing it as a potential boost for domestic spending. However, concerns have been raised regarding 1,400 unresolved fraud cases from the scheme’s previous phases. Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong discussed the matter with Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who agreed in principle to reintroduce the stimulus programme, originally launched during the Prayut Chan-o-cha administration. Thienprasit Chaiyapatranun, Thai Hotels Association (THA) President, expressed support for the programme but suggested its implementation be delayed until after the Songkran festival next year. He emphasised the need for the government to consult with the private sector before launching the scheme, citing past implementation challenges faced by hotel operators. “THA wants the government to collaborate with the private sector to avoid the obstacles experienced during the initial phases.” In the same meeting with Sorawong, THA urged the government to tackle the issue of unregistered hotels, which are prevalent across Thailand. Somradee Chitchong, Deputy Governor for Domestic Marketing at the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), highlighted the benefits of the co-payment programme for domestic tourism. However, she noted the lessons learned from the previous two phases, which left around 1,400 fraud cases unresolved and resulted in the blacklisting of 1,400 hotels. “If the government plans to reintroduce this project, it should implement robust mechanisms to prevent fraud. Legal actions against the guilty parties place a significant burden on the police, who have limited manpower. From almost 8,000 plaintiffs and defendants, only 10 cases from previous phases have been closed.” Somradee, who managed the project as deputy governor for administration, suggested the stimulus only be reimplemented during a crisis akin to Covid-19. For the upcoming high season, she recommended alternative measures to stimulate domestic tourism, such as reducing travel costs, including airfares and fuel, which remain high, reported Bangkok Post. “Promoting special airfares in collaboration with Thai airlines during the low season and leveraging the 9.9 promotional campaign this month demonstrated effectiveness, generating more than 1.5 billion baht.” By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-09-20

In a bold move today, a coalition of concerned parents and young people submitted a protest letter to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, opposing the government's recent policies aimed at legitimising the informal economy and legalising gambling. The policies include the construction of a multi-billion baht entertainment complex, which has triggered significant public outcry. Leading the charge, Vasinee Sonsaeb, a mother and advocate, voiced serious concerns. She questioned whether these policies would truly promote tourism or bring in new revenue, suggesting instead that they might largely benefit private investors. Vasinee pointed out that legitimising gambling could expose the youth to addiction, arguing that the Prime Minister should reflect on the potential negative consequences for future generations. The group proposes a different path: enforcing stricter laws and addressing the corruption endemic in government bureaucracy. Among their recommendations, the coalition calls for scrapping the entertainment complex project and revising the policy to legalise gambling. They also urge for the amendment of the outdated Gambling Act B.E. 2478 (1935). Furthermore, the group advocates for a shift in focus towards developing human resources, particularly youth, and improving child welfare. They believe investing in these areas could significantly benefit society without the risks associated with gambling. File photo for reference only -- 2024-09-19

Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1338601-fm-maris-confirms-thailand-to-host-“asean-troika-plus”-on-myanmar/

Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa today outlined what he described as Thailand’s proactive diplomacy that will, among other things, see the country host the ASEAN Troika Plus meeting later this year to discuss efforts to help resolve the crisis in Myanmar. ASEAN countries endorsed the Thai initiative during their recent ministerial meeting in Vientiane which Maris said demonstrated the grouping’s recognition of Thailand’s role in finding a peaceful solution to the conflict. The timing of the meeting has yet to be decided but is expected to be held after the ASEAN Summit which will take place in Vientiane in October. The ASEAN Troika is a consultation mechanism of the 10-country grouping dealing with the Myanmar crisis which comprises foreign ministers of the previous, present, and future chair countries of the bloc -- Indonesia, Laos, and Malaysia, respectively. The "plus" refers to other ASEAN members interested in contributing to resolving the Myanmar crisis. “Thailand will continue to be proactive in engaging key countries, especially ASEAN, in dialogue on Myanmar,” Maris said at a press conference at the Foreign Ministry to discuss priorities of the Paetongtarn government’s foreign policy. He said they are designed to advance what he described as “diplomacy for the people” and “proactive diplomacy.” Maris said high on the agenda are transboundary issues, specifically narcotic drugs, water management, call scams and air pollution. Priority will also be given to efforts to bring peace back to the three strife-torn southern provinces through economic cooperation between Thailand and Malaysia which he said are working on a special economic zone project to be set up in the border area. To help promote tourism, Maris said the Foreign Ministry is introducing what is known as “Destination Thailand Visa” which aims to provide long-term visa for a stay up to 180 days to attract global talents, such as digital nomads wanting to live and work remotely in Thailand. Also on the cards is a single tourist visa under the so-called “six countries, one destination” policy designed to promote tourism and connectivity in the sub-region. Maris, who is now serving his second stint as foreign minister, said the Foreign Ministry also intends to play an active role in promoting Thailand “soft power” with a plan to stage Thai festivals worldwide in at least 30 countries by 2025 to showcase local Thai products.
