Thailand's Civil Aviation Authority (CAAT) issued a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) to alert global airlines about new regulations for 'Test and Go' and 'Sandbox' schemes, aiming to prevent Omicron variant spread.
The new rules include suspending new 'Thailand Pass' issuances for 'Test and Go' (while honoring existing passes with stricter checks), requiring two RT-PCR tests for all arrivals under these schemes, and mandating a 7-day stay in certified hotels for 'Sandbox' travelers.

Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
