Art exhibition held on dirt road in Khon Kaen to get authorities’ attention
14 Sept 02:36Key points summarised by AI
Khon Kaen artist Kwanyuen Ketnoo displayed his paintings on a severely potholed dirt road in Si Chomphu to draw attention to its decrepit state and advocate for road safety, particularly after sustaining injuries while riding his motorcycle on it.
The artist seeks a permanent solution for the critical commuter route, which has significantly increased travel times and poses dangers to residents, emphasizing that temporary fixes are insufficient for the community's long-term well-being.
Thailand secures US$200m World Bank loan for clean energy and low carbon cities
Today 09:24Key points summarised by AI
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).
