AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Visa Crackdown: Thailand has moved fast to curb foreign-linked crime by cutting visa-free stays for tourists from 90+ countries, with most now capped at 30 days and some at 15 days, decided country-by-country—rolling back the 60-day scheme that had been in place since July 2024. Border Tensions: Myanmar’s military claims it has retaken a Thai-border town, saying cross-border trade routes can resume—another reminder that the region’s security picture is still shifting. Innovation Push: Thailand also hit a milestone in startup rankings, reaching the top 50 globally for the first time in six years, led by medtech growth. Culture & Sport: Southeast Asian tennis pride stays in focus as Alexandra Eala and Janice Tjen shine at Roland Garros, each building momentum from rarely spotlighted tennis regions. Wellness Trend: A Bangkok hotel is launching a Filipino-inspired Sampaguita Hilot massage, blending tradition with modern lymphatic techniques.
