AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Thailand Visa Crackdown: Thailand’s cabinet has approved cutting visa-free stays for tourists from 90+ countries, shrinking the default from 60 days to mostly 30 days, with some nations limited to 15—aimed at curbing crimes involving foreign nationals, including drug offences, sex trafficking, and foreigners running hotels or schools without proper permits. Border & Rights Watch: The change lands amid fresh rights pressure after a Hong Kong pro-democracy journalist, Zhang Xinyan, was detained in Thailand despite UN refugee protection, raising refoulement concerns. Culture & Community: Bangkok’s “One Baht School” gets renewed support through EBC’s “continuous presence” model, backing nearly 2,000 young children in the Klong Toey slum. Regional Tensions: ASEAN faces a split over Myanmar, with Malaysia moving to restore ties while rights groups demand stronger isolation.
