Bhumjai Thai government curtails power of Parliament sub-committees

Bhumjai Thai party’s nominated Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sophon Saram, has approved guidelines to reorganize the operations of all 35 standing committees, stripping committee chairs of absolute authority to summon individuals or agencies for clarification without a formal committee resolution.

The new rules also strictly prohibit overlapping meetings on the same topics and require joint dispute resolution when issues overlap between two or more committees.

Additionally, the guidelines prohibit committee chairs from unilaterally altering meeting agendas set by committee resolutions, ensuring that all committee operations strictly adhere to legal frameworks and unified directions.

Opposition Cries Foul

Suphanat Minchaiynunt, a People’s Party MP for Bangkok, heavily criticized Sophon Zarum, Chairman of the House Committee, accusing him of setting an unprecedentedly low standard for Parliament.

Suphanat pointed out that across all 3 branches of power—the executive cabinet, legislative assembly, and judicial supreme court—the leaders possess the clear authority to schedule meetings and set agendas without needing prior assembly resolutions. The Chairman’s actions undermine the dignity of lawmakers and actively obstruct the oversight duties of the opposition and committee members.

Expressing deep frustration, the opposition MP asserted that even under Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha’s administration, parliamentary committee operations were not shamelessly silenced in this manner.

Suphanat concluded by stating that if a representative of the people exhibits such behavior, they dishonor the dignity of the Thai Parliament and should not hold the office of a lawmaker.

Anti-Government Protestors Head to Bangkok

A protest movement that is being backed by former leader of the “People’s Alliance for Democracy” (PAD) – Sondhi Limthongkul, is heading to Bangkok to stage a sit in protest. Sondhi’s PAD protest eventually led to the coup against Thaksin Shinawatra government in 2006.

Mano Kraikaew, a local sub-district headman known as “Kamnan Mano” is leading a protest movement called the “People’s Revolutionary Front for Land Protection.”

He has announced plans to mobilize a caravan of 1,000 vehicles and trucks from southern Thailand to the Government House in Bangkok, starting on November 5, 2026.

The protest’s primary demands focus on severe economic pressures, high living costs, surging fuel prices, and the rampant drug crisis affecting local communities and farmers.

Media personality Sondhi Limthongkul has publicly pledged 100,000 Baht in fuel financial support for the convoy, while former MP Thepthai Senpong has warned the government not to underestimate or obstruct the demonstration.

The southern vehicle caravan is scheduled to depart from Khuan Nong Hong intersection in Nakhon Si Thammarat—a historically symbolic protest site—and pass-through multiple checkpoints in Surat Thani, Chumphon, and Phetchaburi before converging on Gate 4 of the Government House in Bangkok.

Khuan Nong Hong intersection was also the starting point of a protest led by former Deputy PM Suthep Thaugsuban, who was the leader of the People’s Democratic Reform Council (PDRC) that eventually led to the coup against then Prime Minister Yingluck Shianwatra in 2014.

No Pressure from Thaksin says Anutin

Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul dismissed rumors that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is using the upcoming no-confidence vote as leverage to negotiate amnesty rights under the Peace Promotion Act.

Anutin stated that he had never received such news and asserted that everything must follow the constitution and statutory laws equally, stressing that political matters cannot be tied to such arrangements. If journalists asked him about these rumors, his response would be zero interest, as he gives no weight to unrealistic reports.

Addressing coalition stability, Anutin expressed full confidence in the support of the Pheu Thai Party during the censure debate. He confirmed that in weekly discussions with Pheu Thai’s leader, secretary-general, and senior cabinet ministers, coalition partners have repeatedly reaffirmed their unequivocal backing without any hesitation or conditions.

Finally, the Prime Minister confirmed that the partnership between the leading government factions remains solid. Both parties continue to work seamlessly together as key components of the ruling coalition.

Meanwhile during a dinner gathering in Udon Thani ahead of the mobile cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Deputy Prime Minister Yoschanan Wongsuwan shared a lighthearted moment by playfully singing Thai pop hits—such as the Prime Minister performing “Chai Loei” (“That’s Right”) and the Deputy Prime Minister responding with “Kon Sudthai” (“The Last Person”)—while holding hands to demonstrate close political harmony.

The event took place amid intense political tension, driven by an upcoming no-confidence debate against the Prime Minister and 17 Bhumjai Thai Party ministers, alongside widespread rumors of political bargaining and parliamentary vote negotiations.

Addressing reporters about the opposition’s upcoming censure motion, Prime Minister Anutin expressed full confidence, emphasizing that his administration has done nothing wrong while maintaining a jovial and collaborative atmosphere with coalition partners.

Yesterday Piyasiri Wattanavrangkul, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, chaired a meeting of the subcommittee screening amnesty applications under the 2026 Promoting a Peaceful Society Act. The panel reviewed 23 agenda items containing cases of political demonstrators from January 1, 2005, to July 16, 2025, to summarize for Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn Nilprapunt, who leads the main committee.

The act explicitly excludes Article 112 (lese-majeste) offenses, corruption cases, serious crimes against life and body under Article 297, and personal offenses.

Regarding former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the subcommittee’s review indicates that his four requested cases stem from official corruption rather than political rallies. Consequently, these cases fall outside the criteria and are expected to be ineligible for amnesty under the act.

It is reported that the meeting agenda included 5 case files concerning political demonstrations, involving a total of seven individuals. Among these is a special case under the purview of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) related to the PDRC (People’s Democratic Reform Committee) protests, in which Abhisit Vejjajiva and Suthep Thaugsuban are named as the accused.

The meeting concluded that the circumstances of the case fall under the category of “political offenses” as defined by Section 7; consequently, it was recommended that amnesty be granted, and an order was issued to terminate the DSI’s investigation.

General Chaiyapruk Duangprapat, Secretary-General of the National Security Council (NSC), will convene a meeting with representatives from various agencies this week to outline the projected security landscape.

The meeting aims to drill existing contingency plans to ensure operational readiness, allowing for effective implementation should an incident occur. This scope extends beyond the potential repercussions of the conflict in the Middle East—such as impacts on energy, oil, and certain imported goods—to encompass other types of disasters that could cause hardship for the Thai public, particularly in instances where government agencies have failed to translate existing plans into concrete action, as seen in the lessons learned from past flooding events.

Thailand currently has a 5-year framework—comprising the “National Preparedness Plan” and the “Crisis Management Plan” (2023–2027)—developed by the Security Division for National Preparedness and Defense under the NSC. This framework is designed to enhance the nation’s capacity to prepare for and manage national-level emergencies. It focuses on five key threat areas: cyber issues, emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases, terrorism, energy, and food security.

The framework operates along 2 primary dimensions: strengthening national preparedness during normal circumstances and managing crises when emergencies arise.

Nirat Pongsitthitavorn, Director-General of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM), clarified that while Thailand is not among the countries urged to prepare for Middle East conflict risks, the department continuously advises citizens to assemble emergency survival kits.

He emphasized that these preparedness kits are essential for basic survival during a wide range of emergencies, including natural disasters such as flash floods, landslides, earthquakes, and epidemics, as well as human-made crises like fires, riots, and sabotage.

The Director-General highlighted that the “first 72 hours” is an international standard for emergency preparedness, marking a critical window when individuals must self-sustain while government assistance is being dispatched. Maintaining sufficient water, food, and essential supplies for three days ensures basic survival and resilience until official aid reaches affected communities.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul officially opened the 2026 International Horticultural Exposition in Udon Thani, emphasizing its role as a global platform for agricultural knowledge-exchange, technological innovation, and economic growth in Thailand’s northeastern region. Spanning 134 days, the international event highlights sustainable wetland management, biodiversity preservation, and enhanced market opportunities for local farmers and businesses.

During the opening ceremony, amid strong winds and intermittent lightning, the Prime Minister humorously remarked that he needed to expedite his speech due to the weather and because he had “made a lot of oaths.” He noted that the government will continue to develop the site into a long-term green space and educational hub following the conclusion of the exhibition.

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI), in collaboration with the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) and the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), has intensified its investigation into financial transactions and digital assets linked to the Shuffle website. This joint effort follows an inquiry into a Member of Parliament’s husband over potential connections to online gambling and scam networks.

Authorities have invited cryptocurrency businesses regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide relevant transaction data and are coordinating with international agencies to verify the website’s directors, shareholders, and domain registry information. Meanwhile, AMLO is examining fund movements for potential money laundering offenses to determine further legal actions.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced that Thailand has formally raised concerns with Myanmar regarding ongoing border clashes and daily explosions impacting areas near the border. High-ranking Thai officials, including the Foreign Minister and the Supreme Commander of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, urged Myanmar to prevent the conflict from spilling over and harming Thai territory or civilians.

In response to minor property damage on the Thai side, the government has strengthened border security, increased troop patrols, and instructed forces to maintain readiness while avoiding direct escalation.

Addressing the influx of individuals fleeing across the border, Prime Minister Anutin stated that Thailand will continue providing humanitarian aid. Authorities have planned for their eventual voluntary return once stability is restored, ensuring that displaced persons will not be forcibly pushed back while active fighting persists, while unauthorized individuals remaining in Thailand will be handled under immigration laws.

Following Myanmar military airstrikes near the Thai border—which caused damage to buildings on the Thai side opposite Mae Sam Laep—Thai officials strongly condemned the spillover of violence.

Thailand has intensified border security measures, including deploying F-16 fighter jets for patrol flights over areas like Mae Sot. Authorities remain on high alert to protect local residents, safeguard Thai sovereignty, and press for safety zones to shield communities from ongoing civil conflict in Myanmar.

Swap old vehicle for a brand-new Pick-up Truck with 40k Govt. Subsidy

The Excise Department has submitted a 6 billion Baht budget proposal under the government borrowing framework for the 2027 fiscal year to implement a nationwide trade-in program for new pickups.

The scheme will provide a 40,000 Baht grant per vehicle for up to 150,000 eligible Thai citizens aged 20 and above (limited to one privilege per person).

Operating through a co-payment mechanism with private sector partners, the subsidy will serve as an immediate down payment discount or price reduction to ease monthly installment burdens, complemented by low-interest loans from the Government Savings Bank (GSB Soft Loan) to improve credit accessibility.

The initiative aims to mitigate PM2.5 and nitrogen oxide pollution caused by older Euro 1 to Euro 3 diesel pickups. Thailand has 8.18 million passenger cars, pickups and vans that are at least 10 years old. Of these, 3.09 million vehicles are between 20 and 30 years old, while another 1.77 million have been in use for more than three decades.

Furthermore, the program seeks to revitalize Thailand’s domestic pickup market—a key economic “Product Champion”—which is experiencing a severe slowdown due to increasingly stringent auto loan approval standards imposed by financial institutions.

Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn has announced a budget of over 327 billion Baht to advance 78 transportation infrastructure projects across five upper northeastern provinces, namely Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Loei, and Nong Bua Lamphu.

The comprehensive plan encompasses road, rail, water, and air transport developments designed to lower logistics costs, improve travel efficiency, and boost border trade and tourism in the region.

The ministry is prioritizing rail transport as the primary backbone for passenger and freight logistics, supported by road networks functioning as feeder systems. Key initiatives include the Khon Kaen-Nong Khai double-track railway project—slated for completion by 2028—alongside ongoing expansions of major highways to four lanes and coordinated preparations to manage holiday traffic and maintain fair airline ticket prices during upcoming festivals.

Ministry of Finance reported that net government revenue collection for the 2026 fiscal year reached 2.94 trillion Baht, exceeding the target by approximately 27 billion Baht. This performance was driven by recovering domestic consumption, higher oil prices, and strong business earnings, which helped the Revenue Department collect over 75 billion Baht above target alongside robust state enterprise remittances.

Consequently, this solid financial performance kept the fiscal deficit well below projections at 3.4% of GDP. The Ministry of Finance aims to further reduce the deficit to 3% under fiscal discipline frameworks ahead of its original 2029 target.

Ekniti Nitithanpraphas, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, stated that Thailand’s fiscal position for the 2026 fiscal year is stronger than anticipated. The fiscal deficit stands at 3.4% of GDP—a full 1% lower than the 4.4% previously projected.

The Ministry of Tourism and Sports reported that from January 1 to October 31, 2026, Thailand welcomed a cumulative total of 25,464,306 international tourists—a decrease of 4.59% compared to the same period last year—generating 1,241,067 million Baht in revenue from their spending. The top five source markets were :

China 4,244,376 tourists

Over the past week, 538,661 international tourists arrived in Thailand, an increase of 7.31% from the previous week. The “short-haul” market segment grew by 3.14%, showing signs of recovery and a return to normal travel patterns following a period of stagnation. The “long-haul” market segment rose by 13.60%, marking its fifth consecutive week of growth, bolstered by preparations for the upcoming winter holiday season in November. It is anticipated that the long-haul segment will continue to see an upward trend; however, certain factors warrant close monitoring, including protests in Europe and flight reductions on specific routes—particularly those from Russia—which could impact tourist travel to Thailand.

Meanwhile Bangkok was Thailand’s biggest tourism money-maker, generating 445.1 billion Baht from foreign visitors in the first nine months of 2026—well ahead of Phuket at 369.5 billion Baht. The figures come as Thailand welcomed 23.2 million international visitors during the same period. Tourism Authority of Thailand expect to welcome as many as 33 million tourists in 2026.

The SET Index closed yesterday at 1,507.20 points, down 11.39 points or 0.75%, with a trading value of 55,798.72 million Baht. The index declined due to sell-offs in large-cap stocks—most notably DELTA, which saw its share price fall below the 200-Baht mark. Meanwhile, energy stocks weakened in line with oil prices following reports that Iran might open the Strait of Hormuz; this pressured shares of PTTEP and PTT, further weighing down the SET Index.

Additionally, investors have been looking to reduce risk amid uncertainties surrounding the U.S. midterm elections and rising tensions in the Middle East, contributing to a volatile and negative investment climate.

For today, the index is expected to remain volatile. While the downside risk appears limited as the index approaches the 1,500-point level—provided no new negative catalysts emerge—there is potential for a short-term recovery driven by bargain hunting. However, the upside remains somewhat constrained as investors await the results of the U.S. midterm elections. Investors should closely monitor foreign fund flows, following a recent streak of net selling by foreign investors. The projected trading range is 1,500 points for support and 1,515 points for resistance.

True Corporation (TRUE) reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, marking its seventh consecutive profitable quarter with record-high service revenue, EBITDA, and net profit. Net profit after tax reached 6.7 billion Baht (or 7.0 billion Baht when normalized for one-time items), representing a 4.2x increase year-on-year. Meanwhile, EBITDA grew 5.7% year-on-year to 28.5 billion Baht, and normalized service revenue rose 2.0% year-on-year to 41.6 billion Baht.

CEO Sigve Brekke highlighted that the stellar performance was driven by strong execution, operational discipline, and the successful implementation of an AI-orchestrated customer value management system. During the quarter, mobile subscribers increased by 142,000 to reach 48.8 million (including 20.5 million 5G users), while online subscribers grew by 30,000 to total 3.3 million. Supported by strong earnings quality, improved cost management, and a reduced leverage ratio of 3.6x, the Board of Directors approved an interim dividend of 0.16 Baht per share (totaling 5.5 billion Baht, representing an 83% payout ratio). Management emphasized that the company remains firmly on track to meet its full-year 2026 financial commitments and mid-term targets.

Today, Advanced Info Service (ADVANC) will announce its financial results for the third quarter of 2026.

Phillip Securities forecasts ADVANC’s Q3/2026 net profit at 13,236 million Baht, up 9.9% YoY, driven by core service revenue, 5G packages, bundled broadband, and late-quarter iPhone 18 sales. However, profit slipped 3.5% QoQ due to a 210 million Baht loss share from the Virtual Bank (CLICX) venture and higher IT investment expenses. Q4/2026 earnings are expected to hit a new annual high, buoyed by the year-end tourism high season, rising consumer spending, and full-quarter revenue recognition from iPhone 18 sales. Phillip Securities maintains a “BUY” recommendation with a 2027 target price of 414 Baht per share.

Smith Banomyong, Chief Financial Officer of Gulf Development Public Company Limited (GULF), revealed that Gulf Waste to Energy Holdings Limited (GWTE), a 100% owned subsidiary, has completed 20-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) for 12 industrial waste-to-energy power plant projects with a combined capacity of 96 megawatts. These plants, alongside three Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) production facilities, are scheduled to begin Commercial Operation (COD) in 2027. Additionally, GWTE recently acquired a 100% equity stake in Waste Absolute Company Limited (WAC) for approximately 400 million Baht to integrate its waste management supply chain.

The acquisition of WAC directly supports GULF’s renewable energy operations by managing non-hazardous waste disposal, sourcing compliant industrial waste for SRF fuel production, and handling ash disposal in accordance with sanitary landfill standards. This strategic investment aims to streamline operational efficiency across the group’s waste management ecosystem, secure long-term fuel supplies for its power plants, and optimize project costs over the long run

The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has urged holders of all seven series of JKN Global Group’s debentures to urgently submit their debt repayment claims to the Legal Execution Department by December 1, 2026. This follows the Central Bankruptcy Court’s absolute receivership order issued against the company on August 25, 2026, with the official announcement published in the Royal Gazette on October 1.

Debenture holders must complete the submission process electronically or in person to preserve their rights to debt recovery before the two-month legal deadline expires. The SEC advised investors to review the required documents and guidelines via the Legal Execution Department’s website or contact the official receivers and debenture holders’ representatives for assistance.

Thai Union Group (TU) reported third-quarter 2026 sales of THB 35.7 billion, representing a 3.4% year-on-year increase and marking three consecutive quarters of growth. Profitability also strengthened, with operating profit rising 16.2% to THB 2.1 billion and the gross profit margin reaching 20.4%, supported by strategic investments in core brands and higher-value product lines.

For the first nine months of the year, total sales grew by 4.0% with a record gross margin of 20.0%, while net profit for the third quarter rose 3.2% year-on-year to THB 1.35 billion. Backed by disciplined execution under Strategy 2030 and targeted international expansions, management remains confident in achieving its full-year guidance.

The Ministry of Industry has suspended the issuance of new licences for industrial waste treatment and disposal facilities (Factory Categories 105 and 106). Industry Minister Varawut Silpa-archa launched a comprehensive, year-long nationwide inspection campaign targeting all 3,049 registered waste factories to evaluate compliance, identify unlicensed facilities, and protect communities living nearby. Fifty special inspection teams have been initially deployed to high-risk “red zone” provinces—including Samut Prakan, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chachoengsao, and Prachin Buri—before expanding to the remaining 71 provinces.

Beyond standard administrative compliance, the government’s enforcement strategy involves deep investigations into corporate ownership structures and potential nominee arrangements used to conceal true business controllers. The Ministry of Industry is collaborating closely with the Ministry of Commerce, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to check for customs violations, false declarations, and illegal operations.

The acting governor of Prachinburi province, Chanathip Khokmanee, visited Ban Ko Yang in Prachantakham district to meet with local fishermen and consumers, urging the public not to generalize that all fish and aquatic animals from the province are contaminated. Accompanied by local representatives, he shared a meal prepared with freshly caught fish from a local canal to demonstrate their safety and help restore confidence after negative news reports severely impacted local fish sales.

While addressing public concern, the acting governor acknowledged that certain areas remain under strict monitoring while awaiting official water and aquatic testing results from the Pollution Control Department. He stressed that Prachinburi spans a wide region with diverse water sources, and authorities will enforce targeted restrictions if any contamination is officially confirmed to protect public health without unfairly damaging the entire provincial fishing industry.

Meanwhile Dr. Sonthi Kotchawat, a Thai environmental expert, has warned against consuming fish from Prachinburi’s Phra Prong branch and local cages following the PCD’s discovery of high aluminum levels in surface waters (up to 3.547 mg/L). Pointing out that WHO safety standards recommend no more than 0.1–0.2 mg/L, he cautioned against eating high-accumulation organs—such as heads, gills, liver, and eggs—and urged a temporary consumption ban to protect public health.

He called on government agencies to conduct comprehensive testing of water, agricultural runoff, sediment, and aquatic life across Kabin Buri, Si Maha Phot, and Si Mahosot districts for heavy metals and toxins. Additionally, he emphasized the need for authorities to immediately release all laboratory results to the public.

Heavy rainfall lasting over two hours caused flash floods and severe water logging across Kathu and Mueang Phuket districts in Phuket. Torrents of water rushed down from the hills into local communities, including Nanai Road in Patong, Kamala, and several sections of Thepkrasattri Road, severely disrupting local transportation and travel.

Authorities issued warnings urging motorists—especially drivers of small vehicles—to exercise extreme caution and avoid flooded routes with strong currents. Relevant agencies are closely monitoring weather and water conditions while managing drainage efforts in the affected areas.

Myanmar authorities raided a hotel in Tachileik, located just 300 meters from the Thai-Myanmar border, and arrested 83 Thai nationals—comprising 42 men and 41 women—operating an illegal online scam center. During the operation, security forces seized 40 laptops and 75 mobile phones while the suspects were actively working at their computer stations.

The raid is part of ongoing regional crackdowns by Myanmar and neighboring countries against transnational cybercrime and call-center syndicates. Local reports noted that while many illicit operations shifted away from Tachileik following previous clampdowns, authorities continue to target unauthorized online operations and communication bases near the border.

A 15-year-old Thai junior golfer, Aya (Ayawarin Pradabyat), tragically passed away after being struck by lightning near the 11th hole during a golf tournament in Chachoengsao province. Despite medical efforts to resuscitate her and keep her stable with medication, she succumbed to her injuries after her father arrived from Myanmar to say a final goodbye.

Aya’s family expressed deep grief and raised serious concerns regarding the tournament management, noting that play had continued despite prior lightning strikes in the area that afternoon. Her mother and grandmother have publicly urged golf courses and event organizers to implement stringent safety measures, preventive rules, and rapid emergency responses so that no other family has to suffer a similar loss.

Customs officers at Suvarnabhumi Airport arrested a Chinese passenger arriving from Dhaka, Bangladesh, after discovering 8,900 unregistered GLP-1 weight-loss injection pens concealed in two suitcases. Valued at over 5.34 million Baht, the products lacked authorization and approval from the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Customs Department has intensified inspections to curb the illegal smuggling of unauthorized and substandard medical products through international checkpoints. Authorities emphasized that this attempted importation violates multiple regulations, including the Customs Act and the Drug Act, as part of ongoing efforts to protect public health and safety.

You think you are good at reading directions on the road, well read these sings on a road in Sukhothai province.

A total of 25 directions are at an intersection in Sukhothai province and motorists make fun that they may have to stop for 2 minutes+ just to figure out where they want to go.
