Pharmacy association expresses concern over telepharmacy expansion

Today 17:02Key points summarised by AI

The Thai Pharmacies Association warns that expanding commercial telepharmacy will not solve the nation's pharmacist shortage and poses a significant threat to independent community pharmacies.
Strict regulatory enforcement, requiring a licensed pharmacist on duty, has already forced over 3,000 pharmacies to close due to high operational costs, particularly in rural and tourist zones.
Current telepharmacy models are criticized for imposing steep commission fees on small operators and creating patient safety risks, including identity verification loopholes and the inability to observe vital physical symptoms.
The association proposes a "Telepharmacy Hub" model, where local pharmacies with trained assistants digitally connect patients to off-site pharmacists, aiming to ensure medication access in remote areas while prioritizing patient safety and community pharmacy survival.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand's (TAT) promotional campaign, featuring BLACKPINK's Lisa at the Red Lotus Sea, has ignited a widespread photo-sharing trend among the public.
Despite initial criticism, the campaign inspired people, including the TAT Governor, to visit the Udon Thani site or edit themselves into Lisa's campaign image, often 'following the trail of Lisa'.
The campaign, part of TAT's 'Feel All the Feelings' promotion, faced backlash for its 'poor presentation' and the controversial decision to use AI instead of real photos of Lisa at the actual location.
In response to the AI criticism, many Thai citizens have actively replaced the AI-generated image of Lisa with real photos of her at the site, further engaging with the campaign's theme.
