Thailand welcomes you home, with no closets!

We travel the world wandering from place to place only to find a spot that you can finally call home. A place where you are loved and welcomed with numerous hugs and zero judgements. A place where you feel is your true belonging; somewhere you have the freedom to be who you are like it’s no one’s business. Mostly these ‘places’ are not just locations or spots; they are just corners with someone you love the most and everything around just seems even more beautiful than otherwise. Thailand has been one country to have welcomed tourists from across the world who have different tastes and preferences but there’s always something for everyone. It is one such country which celebrates love and companionship and also wholeheartedly embraces all colours of the pride flag.

The people residing in the ‘Land of Smiles’ takes inspiration from nature and believes that whichever part of the pride flag one may identify with, all of our hearts bleeds the colour of love, red. The country is ranked one of the top ten safest countries for the members of the LGBTQIA+ communities owing to their openness in welcoming people of different nationalities as well as orientations. Alongside safety, the warmth and inclusiveness are also key factors that make Thailand a desired destination for a lot of members of the community. To ensure the seamless communication, https://www.gothaibefree.com is a website dedicated to sharing updates about relevant events and information across the country for visitors.

The gorgeous landscape, the pristine beaches and even the glistening night life of Thailand offers a wide variety of options to find one’s corners with loved ones and experience the feeling of home away from home. Owing to Thailand’s beautiful natural canvas, it is also ideal for destination weddings and honeymoons for couples seeking an intimate space to embark on new journeys, irrespective of their communities.

This pride month was observed with a lot of isolation and distancing which made us realise the true value of love and acceptance for one another. Although the world has experienced several pandemics, through all dystopia and ‘new normal’s love never went out of style. Thus, whenever travel resumes, Thailand will be waiting to welcome you home where there’s only room for loved ones and closets only for your shopping! 

Thailand Prime Minister leads National Committee to promote 5G development

[Bangkok, Thailand, May 24, 2020] A 26-member National 5G Committee has been formed with Thailand Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha as chairman to coordinate the 5G development and boost the digital economy in the country.

The committee is also tasked with mitigating obstacles regarding the recall of unused spectrum, from state agencies for the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), in exchange for compensation. It is expected to enhance cooperation between related agencies for 5G development support.

Deputy prime ministers Somkid Jatusripitak, Prawit Wongsuwon and Wissanu Krea-ngam serve as the deputy chairmen of the committee. The minister of finance, minister of tourism and the minister of education are also part of the committee.

The permanent secretary for the Digital Economy and Society Ministry serves as the director and secretary of the committee.

This committee is formed to promote vertical 5G development, ensuring optimum benefits of 5G adoption for the economy and end users. It will promote a clear roadmap for 5G adoption and infrastructure development by ensuring the participation of representatives from key ministries, said Thailand NBTC secretary-general Takorn Tantasith.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted Thailand's major telecom operators to rev up deployment of 5G technologies. The country's top mobile operators are racing to deploy 5G networks at hospitals to support doctors and medical personnel to fight the virus.

“Application of 5G to public health demonstrates how digital infrastructure can have a significant impact on people's health during a major emergency,” said Buddhipongse Punnakanta, Thailand Digital Economy and Society Minister.

The Digital Economy and Society Ministry, together with Huawei Technologies Thailand, are providing AI-assisted solutions with 5G technology to hospitals in the country with the aim of enabling output diagnosis results more efficiently through a high-speed network.

Industrial organizations such as GSMA pointed out that 5G technologies are crucial in the fight against the pandemic and will be a “backbone” for the economic recovery. It is increasingly accepted in the industry that ICT and digital economy will be a major push as work resumes post pandemic.
