Thailand launches anti-drug campaign in 10 pilot provinces
Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Thailand is taking decisive action against drug-related issues by designating 10 provinces as pilot areas to test new strategies. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra emphasised the broader societal impacts of drug problems during her visit to Roi Et, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive approach to tackle this challenge. Drug problems are seen as a significant barrier to national progress and other policy successes, making it a critical focus for the government. Parliament has been briefed on this initiative, underlining its importance. The 38 year old PM pointed to the successful anti-drug efforts in Thawatchaburi district, Roi Et province, and Tha Wang Pha district in Nan province, as a basis for expanding the initiative to additional provinces. Chiang Mai, Uthai Thani, Pathum Thani, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Rayong, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, and Narathiwat have been chosen as the ten pilot provinces for this intensified anti-drug campaign. Paetongtarn outlined this plan during a meeting attended by National Police Chief Kitrat Phanphet and Narcotics Control Board secretary-general Phanurat Lakboon. The strategy includes lessons from the Thawatchaburi Model, which stresses community cooperation, suppression, and rehabilitation, and the Tha Wang Pha Model, which involves comprehensive addiction mitigation, asset seizure from dealers, and support for rehabilitation graduates to reintegrate into society. Paetongtarn has tasked the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) with centralising its database to facilitate better data sharing. This improved data management is intended to enhance both operations and policy implementation. In combating the narcotics trade, the prime minister stressed the importance of confiscating assets from those involved, viewing this as a crucial tool in reducing both drug abuse and trafficking. She also called for diligent monitoring of officials to prevent complicity, aiming to bolster public trust. On the subject of rehabilitation, Paetongtarn noted the ongoing collaboration among the ONCB, local governments, the Ministry of Public Health, police, and military to support those seeking treatment. Career training is set to be a government priority, aiding those recovering from drug use to rebuild their lives with dignity. Paetongtarn affirmed the government’s commitment to aiding all agencies ready to collaborate on eradicating the drug problem. She encouraged other provinces to approach this challenge with confidence, using Roi Et’s success as a testament to the campaign’s potential effectiveness, reported Bangkok Post.

How to Squander Money and Ruin Our Reputation in this World
I'm surprised to learn you are only 70 yo. I had figured you were much older from the opinions you express.. I think you have some unsupportable beliefs about homosexuality in any event. You seem to be triggered by a wide variety of things going by your numerous posts on many topics. You repeatedly mention seeking psychiatric help, have you considered the same? I wouldn't go so far as to suggest this but you seem to be angry and unhappy. Best of luck to you. -

Expats in Thailand urged not to worry about negative income tax
"The fundamental idea behind NIT is to provide financial assistance to individuals who earn below a minimum income level set by the government." So, the foreigners, who (involuntarily) pay into this, will also be eligible for financial assistance if no, or a low income?? 😆 Thanks, Thailand, I will certainly make sure to never again spend more than 179 days/year there... -

How about a solar car port on a budget?
We have an ATS to switch the whole system to grid in the event of inverter failure. We maintain the grid to inverter connection to allow the grid to top-up should the solar/battery be insufficient (which is how the Deye hybrids work). It makes the whole system "wife-proof" (fully automagic) if I'm away and something goes pear-shaped. -
