The Nigerian man, Thailand's initial confirmed monkeypox patient, is currently receiving treatment in Cambodia and will not be extradited to Thailand, facing potential prosecution for illegal entry in Cambodia.
Bangkok's Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has initiated comprehensive precautionary measures, including coordinating with hotels and medical facilities to monitor for potential cases, despite no monkeypox infections being reported in the capital.

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).
