13 Sept 09:33 Key points summarised by AI

7.1 million digital lottery tickets for the August 1st draw will be available for purchase online via the “Pao Tang” application from Sunday, 6 am, priced at 80 baht each.
The Government Lottery Office (GLO) increased the number of digital tickets due to overwhelming public demand, opting for incremental increases (1-2 million per draw) to allow traditional vendors to adjust to online sales.
GLO chairman Lawaron Saengsanit dismissed speculation of investors buying large quantities for resale, asserting that sales have been normal with customers averaging 5-6 tickets, and advised purchasing only from GLO as only the initial registered buyer can claim prizes.

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).
