What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Thailand launched the 'Thai Street Gold Star' digital application, a government program designed to raise operating standards for small businesses and street-food vendors. The app, which lists certified outlets, was initially introduced in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Chiang Mai. Separately, reports indicate that overseas buyers are increasingly interested in Thailand’s property market for rental income, driven by tourism and long-stay demand.
