Flooding in Thailand’s northeast is expected to improve next month

15 Sept 00:31 Key points summarised by AI

Northeast Thailand's flood situation, particularly in Ubon Ratchathani, is projected to improve significantly by early November.
This positive outlook stems from stable water levels in the Mun River and an improving flow into the Mekong River, which has seen its level drop.
While overall conditions are improving, authorities remain vigilant, monitoring Ubolratana Reservoir embankments and addressing localized road and embankment collapses in other central provinces like Chai Nat and Maha Sarakham.

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).
