According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 19 October 2021, the suspension for importation of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from Lao People's Democratic Republic has expired on 16 January 2022.

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 Lao People's Democratic Republic is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days notified since 17 January 2022 onward in the Thai Royal Gazette.
