13 Sept 10:50 Key points summarised by AI

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt asserted that student hairstyles do not affect academic performance, emphasizing concentration and responsibility as key factors.
His comments align with a student movement protesting strict school hairstyle regulations, which have resulted in teachers unevenly cutting students' hair.
The Governor also inspected city-run schools for compliance with a cannabis-free policy, stressing the importance of shops outside schools clearly labeling products containing cannabis or hemp.
Student safety, particularly the lack of suitable crash helmets for young children traveling by motorcycle, was highlighted as a major concern, with an estimated need for 120,000 small helmets.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
