Bangkokians can book their jab from Thursday onwards


Bangkokians will be able to book their Covid-19 vaccine via www.ไทยร่วมใจ.com or through the "Pao Tang" app from noon on Thursday, while the administration of vaccines will kick off on June 7.


Bangkokians can book their jab from Thursday onwards

Governor Aswin Kwanmuang said the city administration has coordinated with Krungthai Bank and the National Health Security Office to come up with a registration system specific to Bangkok residents.

Vaccines will be available to all Bangkok residents between the ages of 18 and 59, with the exception of those with seven chronic conditions.
To make things easier, Bangkokians who have used the “Pao Tang” app before will not have to re-enter their information. However, those who have never participated will need to register on the website. People who do not have a smartphone can have a family member register on their behalf, though the number of times this can be done will be limited. They can also register at convenience stores like 7-Eleven, Family Mart, Tops Daily and mini Big C stores from 8.30am to 6pm.

Bangkok administration, in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, city hospitals and related agencies, is setting up vaccination stations at the following venues:
• University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce
• The Street Ratchada
• Central Plaza Lat Phrao
• SCG Vaccination Center, Bang Sue head office
• Siam Commercial Bank headquarters
• Sripatum University (Business Administration Technological College)
• CentralFestival EastVille
• Thai PBS
• Samyan Mitr Town
• Asiatique
• True Digital Park
• Thanya Park
• Central World
• Siam Paragon
• Tesco Lotus Rama VI
• The Emporium
• The Mall Bang Kapi
• Robinson Lifestyle Latkrabang
• Tesco Lotus Minburi
• Big C Romklao
• Iconsiam
• Central Plaza Pinklao
• The Mall Bang Khae
• Big C Bang Bon
• PTT Station Rama 2 outbound (KM12)

I have been thinking of having the Singapore traditional spring roll, popiah, for a very long time. Since yesterday was a public holiday I decided to make this myself for the very first time.

Kratom no longer on drugs list

Bangkok Post PUBLISHED : 28 MAY 2021 AT 05:00

The Kratom plant has been removed from a list of narcotics listed under the amended Narcotics Act.
Justice Minister Somsak Thepsutin said the Act has been modified and the new version was published in the Royal Gazette on Wednesday to annul the plant's narcotics status.

The amendment will take effect on Aug 24, Mr Somsak said.

He thanked the organisations involved in pushing for the plant's removal from the list, noting Kratom is a part of local people's lifestyle.

However, cultivation of the plant will still be restricted until a new law to regulate kratom plantations is enacted, the justice minister said.
He said this legislation, also known as the Kratom Law, will detail how the plant is allowed to be used.
It has currently been approved by the Council of State, and the Justice Ministry will forward a proposal to the cabinet.
The ministry has worked with the Food and Drug Administration on an announcement declaring the legality of kratom.
Regarding ongoing criminal cases, the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) has been ordered to identify cases that have not been finalised.

It is expected to drop pending cases after the law comes into effect.
Kratom is typically used in traditional medicine.
However, the plant is known to have stimulating effects on the mind, which makes it a popular recreational drug -- one of the reasons why it was classified as a narcotic for many years.
