Thailand's NBTC has demanded the return of 600 million baht from the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) due to a breach of contract regarding World Cup 2022 broadcast rights.
The breach stems from SAT's failure to comply with the “Must Carry” rule, which required all 64 matches to be accessible on all free TV platforms, including IPTV, despite prior warnings.

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).
