Det var väldigt höga nivåer i vissa sporter i Asiatiska spelen. Jag följde volleybollfinalen mellan Japan och Iran och den var i världsklass. Jag kollade på många sporter som höll en högre nivå än i Europa. Thailand har bra framtid i många sport i asien.

THAI AIR FORCE PLANS SECOND PHASE OF GRIPEN FIGHTER JET PURCHASE
13 October 2026
BANGKOK – The Royal Thai Air Force plans to proceed with the second phase of its Gripen fighter jet procurement project, with funding included in the fiscal 2027 budget, Air Force chief ACM Seksan Khantha said on Monday.
Speaking on 12 October, Seksan said the procurement was intended to strengthen Thailand’s defence capabilities against potential threats. He stressed that manned fighter aircraft remained necessary because critical decisions in complex situations still required human judgement, particularly when assessing life-and-death risks.
He said Air Force personnel would be trained to work with increasingly sophisticated technologies to improve the effectiveness of decision-making. Manned aircraft would therefore continue to play an essential role in the country’s combat capabilities.
Seksan said the quality and number of aircraft must be sufficient to protect Thailand’s sovereignty. The project would also need to include technology transfers, personnel training and infrastructure development to ensure the country was prepared to defend its airspace against potential threats.
He said the goal was to ensure that key areas could be protected from attack in the event of war.
The Air Force expects to receive the Gripen aircraft under the second phase of the procurement project in 2029.

Phuket ska få ett av södra Thailands största shopping- och upplevelsecentrum. Fastighetskoncernen Siam Piwat, som ligger bakom välkända Siam Paragon och ICONSIAM i Bangkok, investerar 10 miljarder baht i det nya projektet ICONPHUKET. Invigningen planeras till 2029.
Siam Piwat Group, Thailand’s leading retail and real estate developer behind Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Siam Discovery and joint owner of ICONSIAM and Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok, has unveiled ICONPHUKET, a THB10 billion destination development in Phuket scheduled to open in 2029.
ICONPHUKET marks a major expansion beyond Bangkok for Siam Piwat and will bring together the culture, creativity, products and economic potential of Southern Thailand’s 14 provinces in one destination. The project is designed as a first-of-its-kind Hybrid Retail-Attraction and Entertainment Destination,featuring 12extraordinary world-class attractions designed to captivate global audiences, integrating tourism, public spaces and nature with year-round experiences for Thai and international visitors. Building on the success of ICONSIAM and Siam Paragon, which have helped position Thailand as a global benchmark for destination development, Siam Piwat sees ICONPHUKET as its next transformative destination project.
Chadatip Chutrakul, Chief Executive Officer of Siam Piwat Co., Ltd., said: “ICONPHUKET represents the next chapter of our vision to create destinations that generate economic value while showcasing Thailand’s strengths to the world. By connecting the capabilities of all 14 southern provinces with global opportunities, ICONPHUKET will serve as a gateway to Southern Thailand’s potential, helping strengthen Phuket and the region as a leading destination for tourism, investment and the creative economy.”
ICONPHUKET will serve as the centerpiece of Synthesis Ark Phuket, an integrated mixed-use megaproject developed by CV Group of Companies, with an investment value of more than US$1.5 billion (THB 50 billion) and spanning over 80 hectares in Thalang, Phuket, Thailand. The wider project will include residences, hotels, offices, serviced apartments, educational institutions, and health and wellness facilities, with convenient access to Phuket International Airport and yacht marinas. Phase 1 of Synthesis Ark Phuket is scheduled to be completed by 2032. The development is envisioned as a future-ready urban destination that supports the long-term growth of a sustainable Southern economic cluster.
More than 40% of ICONPHUKET will be dedicated to green and open spaces, while one-third of the project will comprise attractions and entertainment. Developed with local communities, government agencies and private-sector partners, the project will incorporate green technologies, resource-efficiency systems and smart mobility solutions. It will also provide a platform for SMEs, community enterprises and local products from across Southern Thailand.
ICONPHUKET will unite the strengths of Southern Thailand’s 14 provinces in one destination. As a gateway to the region’s potential, it will connect local enterprises, communities and products with new opportunities in international markets, while presenting Southern Thailand’s distinctive character to Thai and global visitors and bringing the region’s extraordinary potential to the global stage.
The development is expected to support 50,000–80,000 jobs from construction through full operations and encourage longer stays and higher tourism spending across the southern region. Further details on ICONPHUKET will be announced in the coming months.

BANGKOK, Thailand – Thailand’s Meteorological Department has issued its second warning for heavy to very heavy rain from October 18 to 25, cautioning residents about flash floods, forest runoff, landslides and strong wind gusts in affected areas.
The warning, issued on October 17, says southern and eastern Thailand will face persistent rain and isolated heavy to very heavy downpours from October 18 to 20. From October 21 to 25, rainfall is expected to increase across the lower Northeast, Central Thailand, Bangkok and surrounding provinces, the East and the upper South.
Chonburi is among the eastern provinces named in the forecast. Heavy rain is expected on October 20, with very heavy rain forecast on October 21 and 22. Chonburi and Rayong are also listed for heavy rain on October 23 and 24.
The department warned that prolonged rainfall and accumulated runoff could cause sudden flooding, flash floods and landslides, particularly near foothills, waterways and low-lying areas. Residents are advised to avoid repeatedly flooded roads and prepare for possible short-term flooding.
Seas in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea could see waves exceeding three meters in thunderstorm areas. Boat operators should navigate cautiously and avoid sailing through thunderstorms.
Residents are urged to monitor official weather updates and plan travel carefully throughout the warning period. Updates are available at the Meteorological Department website, www.tmd.go.th, or by calling 1182 and 0-2399-4012–13 around the clock.

Officials seized mats, chairs and other related items found during the inspections. The confiscated belongings were taken to the Pattaya City municipal enforcement center, where they will be held pending legal proceedings and fines. The city said inspections would continue to maintain order along the beach and ensure public areas remain accessible for everyone.

BANGKOK – The Resort Tow of Pattaya is facing a severe tourism drought that threatens to destabilize Thailand’s broader economic recovery. During the recent summer months, some hotels in this famous coastal city reported occupancy rates plunging to a devastating 15 percent. This figure is alarming for a hospitality sector where a standard property needs at least 40 to 50 percent just to break even.
Visitors strolling down Beach Road recently might have noticed the eerily quiet atmosphere. Hotel pools sit empty with sunbeds neatly stacked at noon, while iconic baht buses roll down the streets with nobody in the back. Pattaya was never supposed to be a quiet city, but the bustling noise that once defined it has noticeably faded away.
This drastic slowdown in Pattaya is far more severe than the general dip seen across the rest of the nation. Through early October 2026, Thailand as a whole counted about 23.5 million foreign arrivals. That represents a drop of just under four percent compared to the previous year, which is a mild bruise for the national economy.
However, regional tourism officials report a much darker reality for the eastern seaboard. The Chonburi Tourism Federation and the local chapter of the Thai Hotels Association estimate that visitor numbers crashed by 20 to 30 percent. The old saying rings true today: when Thailand catches a cold, Pattaya gets pneumonia.

Det enda jag eventuellt sätter mig emot är ju att det kommersiella tar de bästa platserna, och så brukar det vara men tänker på familjer som kanske inte vill eller kan betala för sittplatser. Dom får helt enkelt sitta i ”baksätet”. Världen har aldrig varit rättvis så är väl ett mindre bekymmer.

Ett land där turismen utgör 13 procent och ibland upp till 20 procent av BNP har inte råd med den barnsliga politik som Thailand har fört under de senaste åren. Det kommer att bli allt svårare för Thailands turism det är bara början eftersom världen inte längre ser ut som den gjorde 2015.Hej
Pattaya Faces Severe Slump: Empty Hotels and Silent Bars
October 19, 2026 8:44 am
BANGKOK – The Resort Tow of Pattaya is facing a severe tourism drought that threatens to destabilize Thailand’s broader economic recovery. During the recent summer months, some hotels in this famous coastal city reported occupancy rates plunging to a devastating 15 percent. This figure is alarming for a hospitality sector where a standard property needs at least 40 to 50 percent just to break even.
Visitors strolling down Beach Road recently might have noticed the eerily quiet atmosphere. Hotel pools sit empty with sunbeds neatly stacked at noon, while iconic baht buses roll down the streets with nobody in the back. Pattaya was never supposed to be a quiet city, but the bustling noise that once defined it has noticeably faded away.
This drastic slowdown in Pattaya is far more severe than the general dip seen across the rest of the nation. Through early October 2026, Thailand as a whole counted about 23.5 million foreign arrivals. That represents a drop of just under four percent compared to the previous year, which is a mild bruise for the national economy.
However, regional tourism officials report a much darker reality for the eastern seaboard. The Chonburi Tourism Federation and the local chapter of the Thai Hotels Association estimate that visitor numbers crashed by 20 to 30 percent. The old saying rings true today: when Thailand catches a cold, Pattaya gets pneumonia.

Thailands regering har beslutat om ett omfattande stödpaket på nästan 59 miljarder baht för att stabilisera rispriserna och förbättra ekonomin för landets risbönder. Målet är att förhindra kraftiga prisfall när årets stora risskörd kommer ut på marknaden.
Thailand’s Cabinet has approved five rice support and production-reform schemes worth a combined THB58.91 billion, aiming to ease pressure on paddy prices as large volumes of the 2026/27 main crop enter the market in October and November.
Deputy Government Spokesperson Lalida Persvivatana said on Tuesday (October 20) that the measures were proposed by the Ministry of Commerce, overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun.
The package combines measures to stabilise paddy prices with longer-term production restructuring under the “New Rice Economy” concept.
Of the total funding, THB49.28 billion will be provided through loans, while THB9.64 billion will cover government compensation and other non-repayable expenditure.
