  6. BANGKOK (NNT) - State agencies have been unveiling their New Year’s gifts for the Thai people, with the Ministry of Commerce providing discounts of as much as 86% on products and services at some 32,000 stores and malls nationwide through its sales campaign. The campaign will conclude on January 31, 2022. Wattanasak Sur-iam, director-general of the Department of Internal Trade, inspected the sale of goods under the “New Year Grand Sale 2022” campaign at Bang Bon Supercenter in Bangkok’s Bang Bon district to ensure that activities fall in line with the requirements of the campaign. Meanwhile, patrol teams from the Department of Internal Trade are being deployed nationwide to ensure that sellers clearly display prices of items, and to prevent opportunistic price hikes. Many products at Bang Bon Supercenter are on discount in accordance with the campaign. Most were household staples such as rice, vegetable oil, shower cream, laundry detergent and fabric softener. Some items are being sold at as much as 71% off, while others come with a “buy one, get one” free promotion. The director-general also urged consumers to check the prices of hampers during this New Year’s period, when many people need to purchase gift baskets to present to acquaintances and loved ones. Each basket must display a list of all items included and the expiration dates for all items must be at least 6 months away. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-01-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates
  7. BoT Reports 0.9% Economic Growth for December BANGKOK (NNT) - The Bank of Thailand (BOT) has reported a 0.9 percent growth for the Thai economy in December, but said it was concerned that the Omicron coronavirus variant might slow activity for the first quarter of this year.

  8. BANGKOK (NNT) - The Bank of Thailand (BOT) has reported a 0.9 percent growth for the Thai economy in December, but said it was concerned that the Omicron coronavirus variant might slow activity for the first quarter of this year. According to Chayawadee Chai-Anant, senior director of BOT’s Corporate Communications Department, the central bank believes the economy will improve if Thailand continues opening up to foreign tourists. A rise in the Business Sentiment Index has prompted the private sector to invest more in machinery, equipment and infrastructure. Meanwhile, the labor market has also seen recovery based on improved economic activity. The senior director nevertheless advises that people keep a careful eye on the COVID-19 situation, as it may continue to disrupt the supply chain and keep fuel prices high. Food prices have risen temporarily due to floods while energy prices remain high amid surging world oil prices. Chayawadee also urged the government to issue new stimulus measures, adding that overall consumer confidence and improving household incomes have helped revitalize the economy. The BOT has reduced its GDP growth projection to 3.4 percent from 3.9 percent due to a drop in people’s purchasing power and business concerns over possible restrictions to prevent the spread of the Omicron variant. The Central bank said Thailand is different since its economy has not recovered as quickly as that of other industrialized nations. As a result, the Monetary Policy Committee will prioritize economic stability before raising interest rates. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-01-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates

  10. Chonburi (NNT) - Many provincial authorities have indicated their readiness to take charge of handling travel and tourism activities during the New Year’s holidays. Antigen test kits (ATKs) for COVID-19 testing are being used to proactively detect infections among travelers in Songkhla, Chiang Rai, and elsewhere. Chonburi Vice Governor Naris Niramaiwong inaugurated the launch of a service station for water transportation users during the New Year period at Sriracha-Sichang pier in Chonburi province. The service station was established to increase safety for those crossing between the mainland and Sichang Island, one of Chonburi’s most popular tourist destinations. Staff at the station have been told to ensure that people at the pier keep their masks on at all times, and to provide alcohol gel so they can clean their hands before boarding the vessels. Passengers are required to wear life vests while crews are prohibited from drinking alcohol. Operations at the pier at onboard vessels must be in keeping with measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Hat Yai Municipality in Songkhla is meanwhile providing a free testing service to the public. Those who test negative will be issued a certificate that can be presented during their travels or when attending events. The number of coronavirus infections in Songkhla has so far been on the decline. In Chiang Rai, provincial governor Pasakorn Boonyalak and officials from relevant agencies have inspected Chiang Rai Bus Terminal 2 in the province’s capital district to ensure that personnel are ready to implement Covid prevention measures as they accommodate an expected influx of bus passengers traveling into Chiang Rai. The group also inspected a vaccination site set up at the bus terminal. The governor said the 11 Blue Zone districts have established ATK test points for the general public, with people having the option to take kits home to test later. Additional vaccination sites have been set up at the bus terminal and Rong Khun Temple, also in Mueang Chiang Rai district, to administer 1st, 2nd, and 3rd COVID vaccine doses to the general public. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-01-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates
  11. House Speaker Addresses Lack of Quorum BANGKOK (NNT) - With recent parliamentary sessions delayed over a lack of quorum, the House Speaker is asking members of parliament (MPs) to uphold their end of the bargain by attending legislative sessions next year.

  12. BANGKOK (NNT) - With recent parliamentary sessions delayed over a lack of quorum, the House Speaker is asking members of parliament (MPs) to uphold their end of the bargain by attending legislative sessions next year. More hours could be added to the sessions to allow more motions to be processed. House Speaker Chuan Leekpai acknowledged that the absence of a quorum paints the image of Parliament in a negative light. The insufficient quorum mostly occurs in the evening when some MPs have to leave the main assembly to attend other meetings. The speaker also reiterated that it is the duty of all sides, especially the coalition that holds the most seats, to meet the quorum for each session. He also said they must attend legislative sessions to pass laws, in addition to their duties as representatives of their constituencies. House Speaker Chuan is set to discuss the matter with leaders of the opposition, with new measures such as additional meeting hours to be introduced in order to give Parliament more time to deliberate motions and bills. Opposition leader Dr. Chonlanan Srikaew meanwhile said the issue had already been discussed between the speaker and the opposition whip, with opposition parties pledging to keep the administration in check. He added that the opposition is willing to support the work of all parliamentary committees, while urging coalition MPs to show due diligence by attending legislative sittings. The parliament’s first meeting of 2022 has been postponed to comply with COVID-19-related guidelines. The new date will be decided following a situation assessment by the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-01-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates

  14. 2021 is now in the rear-view mirror and Pattaya celebrated it with flair, with fireworks, concerts, markets, temples, and more full of people marking the end of what had been an incredibly difficult year for Pattaya and indeed much of the world. Although there were plenty of Covid-19 precautions last night, such as requirements at official events at Bali Hai Pier for being fully vaccinated AND recently tested, the many that went out still appeared to make the best of the situation. The biggest countdown event was at Bali Hai and the biggest star was BamBam, a Thai-born Korean Boy Band/Thai Hip-hop star from the famous Korean Boy band Got7, which had hundreds of fans lined up and waiting for roughly sixteen hours before the event even began! We are aware that the English-speaking audience may not be aware of him or follow K-pop or Thai hip-hop, however, so will give a little bit of his background. BamBam, 24, whose name is actually derived from BamBam from the Flintstones, is known for his rapping, dancing, and being a significant fashion influencer with Vogue Thailand recently selecting him as one of the top 100 influencers.
