School uniform filters created to help students in online class

15 Sept 15:33 Key points summarised by AI

Thai graphic studio "The Studio Apollo" developed school uniform filters for online classes, responding to a controversial requirement for students to wear uniforms virtually.
The filters, accessible on platforms like Zoom and Google Meet, aim to provide a practical solution to the debate, though they have seen more usage among adults than the target student demographic.
The studio intends to expand the filter collection to include various educational levels and staff uniforms, alongside creating additional graphic materials to improve online learning engagement and teaching effectiveness.

Speculation growing over merger between Bhumjaithai and Kla Tham parties

Today 16:46 Key points summarised by AI

A dinner between Bhumjaithai and Kla Tham party leaders sparked rumors of a potential merger, though Bhumjaithai's leader, Anutin, downplayed it as a casual meal.
The meeting is widely interpreted as a strategic message from Bhumjaithai to the Pheu Thai party, signaling alternative support ahead of an upcoming no-confidence debate.
Thailand's Constitution (Section 99) currently prohibits direct mergers of parties with sitting MPs during the House's term, a rule designed to prevent the 'buying and selling' of MPs.
While direct mergers are restricted, MPs can still switch parties if dismissed by a three-fourths party vote or if their party dissolves, allowing for indirect political realignments.
Kla Tham's voting behavior in the censure debate will demonstrate its loyalty to the government, potentially influencing future political dynamics despite current merger restrictions.
