Koh Samui, a popular tourist resort island in Surat Thani province, is grappling with a significant water crisis as declining rainfall and amplified water demands take their toll. Many of the water reserves on the island, such as the district’s Phru Na Muang and Phru Krajud reservoirs, along with the renowned Hin Lard waterfall, have seen their water levels drop significantly, indicative of a severe water crisis. This dip has disrupted clean water production, as the total volume of freshwater available continues to dwindle. Presently, amid the ongoing water crisis, the island’s local freshwater reserves are deemed to be sufficient for the needs of its residents for just a mere 30 days. The scarcity has also started wreaking havoc on the region’s thriving tourism industry. According to Ratchaporn Poonsawat, the chair of the Tourism Association of Koh Samui, the escalating dearth might force the hand of tourism business owners to buy freshwater, resulting in a surge in operation costs. “The mounting costs associated with the shortage could also adversely affect the livelihood of hospitality workers on the island. If water supplies continue to deplete, these hard-working individuals might be forced to bear higher living costs,” he explained. by Mitch Connor Photo Courtesy of digitalnomads.world #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/koh-samui-grapples-with-freshwater-shortage-amid-rising-tourist-demands -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

In an effort to digitise various government-provided services and increase their accessibility, Thailand’s Interior Ministry officially rolled out a novel mobile application as part of its digital ID programme on Friday. The launch event was graced by none other than caretaker Prime Minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha, who wholeheartedly endorsed the newly unveiled ‘ThaID’ mobile application. Prayut outlined the primary motive behind introducing this innovative app – to streamline the way citizens utilise an array of state services. He went on to elucidate that this advancement is a seminal part of the ambitious Thailand 4.0 strategy. The successful creation and introduction of ‘ThaID’ marks a significant stepping stone in the government’s campaign to enrich the country’s digital ecosystem. Prayut put forth his earnest aspiration that the digital ID system would soon be widely adopted by various state and private agencies to enhance the efficiency of their respective services. He used the platform to encourage media channels to aggrandise its use amongst the public. Interior Minister Anupong Paojinda shed some light on the chronology of the digital ID programme’s development. by Mitch Connor Photo by Bangkok Post. #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thailands-interior-ministry-rolls-out-digital-id-app-in-drive-towards-thailand-4-0 -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

In the face of rising electricity bills, a new opportunity is emerging for a free power trade system in Thailand, as spotted by Banpu Power Plc, the power generation arm of energy conglomerate Banpu Plc. Expecting a worldwide shift in electricity markets, the company, under Kirana Limpaphayom, its CEO, is poised to take advantage of this imminent change. The combined effect of advancing digital technology, mounting climate change concerns, and declining costs for developing renewable power plants fuel this progression. Additionally, the hike in energy prices due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict is facilitating this transition. The Thai population, both households and entrepreneurs, is showing an increased preference towards energy derived from rooftop solar panels as a counteraction to expensive electricity costs. Banpu is planning to pivot more towards the power trade business while further pushing its branches into energy solutions and electric vehicle sectors, Bangkok Post reported. A potential market is visualised by Kirana where electricity sellers and energy types are chosen freely by customers based on their individual needs and financial situations. Similar to the retail oil market, the aim is for businesses to be able to freely trade electricity generated from sources like solar panels without intervention from the state-run Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand or the government’s power distribution divisions, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority and the Provincial Electricity Authority. by Alex Morgan Photo by The Scientific World. #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/banpu-eyes-free-power-trade-system-amidst-rising-thai-electricity-costs -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Photo by Department of Provincial Administration. An unlicensed pub masquerading as a food shop was inconspicuously hiding in plain sight in the Pathum Wan district of Bangkok. After a series of complaints, officers successfully conducted a raid in the early hours of this morning. The food store, Larb Ped Yaso Jae Nim Rong Muang, enjoying a prominent location near Wat Chamni Hattakarn on Rama I Road, was discovered to be an underground pub. Officers from the Department of Provincial Administration’s (DPA) law enforcement operations centre, accompanied by territorial defence volunteers, were involved in the operation that took place around 3am. The trigger for the raid was numerous grievances that had been reported against the shop, which had a reputation for its spicy minced duck salad, a popular Thai delicacy, larb ped, but was under suspicion for functioning as an entertainment venue. During the raid, it was established that the pub was cleverly camouflaged within the second floor of the three-storey building. With sound-proof walls installed, it was evident that the shop was meticulously running a hidden pub. Almost 250 patrons were carousing on the premises at the time of the raid. Surprisingly, 25 of these individuals; A mix of 21 Laotian nationals and four Thai, were below the legal age limit of 20. On seeing the enforcement officers, a flurry of panic ensued with many patrons attempting to escape but swift action by the officers ensured that all exits were blocked. Alongside patrons, seven employees were also arrested. These staff members were illegal migrants from Laos, who wore polo shirts with the food shop’s logo, Bangkok Post reported. #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/bangkok-food-shop-exposed-as-illegal-pub-arrests-made-during-surprise-raid -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Influential airport operator, Airports of Thailand (AoT), is set to inaugurate a new satellite passenger terminal at the famed Suvarnabhumi Airport come this September. This addition is expected to bolster the airport’s passenger handling capacity significantly, managing an impressive 15 million extra passengers annually, which effectively raises the total capacity to a staggering 60 million per annum, revealed AoT’s president. The soon-to-be-launched, massive terminal – reported to cover an area of over 216,000 square metres boasts 28 contact gates and a playful zone exclusively for children. The only remaining responsibility is to undergo the installation of seating equipped with USB power outlets – a noteworthy modern convenience for today’s tech-savvy traveller. Astonishingly, the airport has witnessed an exceptionally high surge in passenger footfall – the figures skyrocketing by 230.8%. This increase in numbers, observed from October through May, is in comparison to the count from the identical monthly span the previous year. Contextualising the numbers reveals over 31.6 million passengers, with international visitors making for over 74% of this figure. The daily count hovers around somewhere between 140,000 and 150,000 passengers, as stated by the airport. by Alex Morgan Photo Courtesy of Arina Sofiah, humanresourcesonline.net #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/business/suvarnabhumi-airport-to-boost-capacity-with-new-terminal-and-tech-upgrades -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

The second quarter of this year saw the Tourism Confidence Index remaining subdued, sliding from the previous quarter. The contributor to this drop was a blend of Thailand‘s low season and decreased earnings from tourism. The president of the Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT), Chamnan Srisawat, announced that the second quarter’s score was two points lower than the prior quarter at 72. This noticeably fell short of the identical period in 2019, which recorded 100, inferring weakened optimism. The findings came from a survey conducted from April 20 to May 30, comprising 740 operators. A pressing concern was the cost of electricity, scoring 3.94 out of 5, yet only a meagre 14% of surveyed participants decided to transfer this expense onto their patrons. The shortage of labour had a mild score of 3.11 as the employment rate climbed to 90% of the rate in 2019. In relation to revenue earned from tourism operations, 68% of companies are still earning less than in 2019, with most of them only acquiring 60% of earnings made prior to the pandemic, Bangkok Post reported. by Alex Morgan #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/tourism/thailands-tourism-confidence-slides-amidst-global-economy-concerns -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

This week, American Ambassador to Thailand, Robert Godec, rejected claims by conservative activists that the United States had interfered or swayed the May 14th General Election. He said the US stood ready to support any new incoming government, whatever its political background. The envoy restated his country’s respect for the Thai Monarchy. He also firmly rejected any suggestion that Washington has its sights on an American military base in the kingdom. It comes as polls show that already there is opposition to the new government as nearly 49.16% of people are convinced Thailand will see more political conflict on the street while 29.06% fear another coup is likely. The United States has become a target for conservatives who were roundly defeated in the May 14th General Election and who are expected to quickly lead a return to street protests and conflict after the formation of a new government in July. It appears that despite over nine years of military involvement in the kingdom’s government, the lines of division have only shifted away from populist policies and power plays. The country, today, is divided between democrats and conservatives as well as those who support the United States and China with the latter dividing line already being used by the right to swell its ranks for the next struggle to take to the streets. The top American envoy to Thailand Robert Godec came out this week to assure the public that the United States respects the integrity of Thailand’s democratic process and was prepared to work with any incoming government no matter what its political allegiances may be. The statement comes as tensions are rising within conservative factions in the kingdom with the growing likelihood of a Move Forward Pheu Thai government coming to power this month. The election of a new democratic government may be somewhat marred by a recent national poll which shows that opposition to any new government is already running at 29.54% with 49.16% of people feeling that a return to street conflict is on the cards and 29.16% believing that the kingdom faces the prospect of a future coup d’état. by Joseph O' Connor #news Full story: https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2023/07/02/poll-political-conflict-still-on-the-cards-us-ambassador-denies-interference/ -- © Copyright Thai Examiner 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

In an unforeseen turn of events earlier this morning, a sailing yacht near Ao Yon in the northern part of Chalong Bay, Phuket, was reported to have been forced onto the shore due to wave action. The yacht is understood to have been detached from its mooring and was seen adrift prior to being swept ashore. This unexpected incident occurred as members of the Phuket Yacht Club Community and Phuket Cruising Yacht Club, two respected Facebook groups for the Phuket sailing community, shared the news about the yacht’s location being “at the North end of Khao Khad beach” at approximately 8am. However, information regarding the yacht’s ownership public wasn’t available at the time of report, The Phuket News reported. A significant contributing factor to the yacht’s mooring slip-off lies in the severe weather conditions currently being experienced in Phuket.

Faulty suitcase wheel may have triggered Don Mueang airport walkway accident By Mitch Connor Photo: @kiti_harnz via Thai Rescue News. A malfunctioning suitcase wheel is potentially behind an unfortunate incident that took place at Don Mueang airport’s moving walkways, causing a woman to lose part of her left leg, according to the Engineering Institute of Thailand (EIT). An advisor to the EIT’s mechanical engineering committee, Boonpong Kijwatanachai, recently provided an update about the ongoing investigation into the travellator system malfunction, which resulted in the unsettling occurrence yesterday morning. The EIT’s initial analysis suggests that a wheel from the victim’s suitcase could have got stuck, causing damage to the moving walkway’s comb section. This breakage might have created an opening in the platform large enough for the woman’s leg to slip through and get trapped. Contrary to what one might anticipate in such an incident, the sensor systems of the moving walkway functioned as expected, ruling out any errors in the system while the mishap happened, stated Kijwatanachai.

Thai ex-judge sentenced over 20 million baht bribery allegations by Mitch Connor PHOTO: Thai Banknote by lifeforstock from Freepik. A recent court ruling unfurled in the Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases which witnessed a former appellate court judge handed a five-year prison sentence. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1299430-thai-ex-judge-sentenced-over-20-million-baht-bribery-allegations/

A recent court ruling unfurled in the Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases which witnessed a former appellate court judge handed a five-year prison sentence. The sentencing comes as a consequence of corruption allegations involving a whopping 20 million baht bribe request dating back to 2018. The judge had famously sought the bribe from an arrested Taiwanese individual, significantly affecting the judicial justice system’s integrity. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) was instrumental in bringing this judicial anomaly to light, charging the judge under the Organic Act on Anti-corruption in addition to NACC regulations pertaining to bribery. NACC records indicate that the Taiwanese individual’s arrest occurred from November to December 2018 and was held in remand at Samut Prakan Provincial Court, Bangkok Post reported. Upon investigation, it was found that the offender in question was familiar with the incriminated judge who presided over Region 8 of the Appeal Court. It was during the Taiwanese defendant’s temporary release plea when the former Appeal Court Judge commanded a ‘tea money’ amount of 20 million baht. During the trial, substantial evidence brought forward by witnesses was considered, and the corruption allegations against the defendant gained ground. Continuing the unfolding saga, the Taiwanese offender had indeed bribed the Appeal Court judge on four separate occasions in 2018. This disturbing revelation came after the judge received the first instalment of 1 million baht on November 7 at the agreed location, the Sinthavee Hotel in Phuket. by Mitch Connor TOP PHOTO: Thai Banknote by lifeforstock from Freepik. #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/thai-ex-judge-sentenced-over-20-million-baht-bribery-allegations -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-01 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
