14 Sept 02:17 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Department of Health mandates that all food and drink outlets selling cannabis-infused products must secure permission from local authorities to avoid legal penalties.
Violators face significant legal repercussions, including imprisonment for up to six months and/or fines up to 50,000 baht, with penalties scaled by the size of the establishment.
The surge in cannabis use in food since decriminalization has raised public safety concerns, leading to reported negative symptoms and a call for consumers to report non-compliant vendors to officials.

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).
