Trending Now: Thailand’s Coffee Chains Halve Default Sugar
From 11 February, "normal sweetness" at brands like Café Amazon and All Café will be capped at 50% sugar to combat the rise of non-communicable diseases.
Beginning 11 February 2026, any customer ordering a "normal sweetness" beverage will automatically receive a drink containing only 50% of the original sugar recipe.
The initiative, a collaboration between the Ministry of Public Health and nine major industry players, including Café Amazon, Inthanin, All Café, Black Canyon, and Punthai aims to curb the escalating rates of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) amongst the Thai population.
The measure employs "Nudge Theory," a concept from behavioural economics that subtly influences consumer choices by changing the "default option."
By making a lower-sugar recipe the standard, health officials hope to habituate consumers’ palates to reduced sweetness without alienating them with a total ban on sugar.
According to the Department of Health, the decision aims to shift the standard to what the body can actually handle.
Under the new 50% cap, a standard 16oz cup of fresh coffee or Thai milk tea will contain approximately 3.3 to 3.7 teaspoons of sugar.
This brings the beverage well within the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) recommended daily limit of 6 teaspoons.

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) Advisory
An increase in cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) has recently been observed, particularly among young children and school-age students. HFMD is a common viral illness that mainly affects children under 10 years old, although adults can also become infected.
HFMD spreads easily through close contact with saliva, mucus, blister fluid, stool, and shared items. It is most contagious during the first week of illness, with symptoms typically appearing 3–7 days after infection.
Symptoms to watch for:
• Mild fever and sore throat
• Painful mouth sores
• Blisters or rash on hands, feet, and sometimes buttocks
• Fatigue or reduced appetite
Precautions for Children and Families:
• Avoid sharing utensils, bottles or toys
• Wash hands frequently, especially before meals and after restroom use
• Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces
• Keep children at home and avoid common areas if symptoms develop
There is no specific treatment for HFMD. Care focuses on relieving fever and discomfort from mouth sores.
We encourage all families to remain vigilant and maintain good hygiene practices.
