According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 7 March 2023, the suspension for importation of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from the Philippines has expired on 5 June 2023. However, the WOAH has reported a continued outbreak of African Swine Fever in the area of the Philippines. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of African Swine Fever disease into the country. By the virtue of Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from the Philippines is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days since 6 June 2023 onward in the Thai Royal Gazette.
