23 Sept 06:50 Key points summarised by AI

Parents should prioritize showing love, listening attentively, and understanding their children's problems, especially when they are desperate, rather than reprimanding them.
Dr. Suriyadeo Tripathi advises parents to use available tools like the Google Family application to monitor and limit their children's online access and screen time.
The advice follows a case of an 11-year-old lured into taking nude photos, highlighting a broader issue of online exploitation with numerous complaints received by foundations for various scams and grooming.

Thailand's government will launch the "Chainat-Pasak-Gulf" water diversion canal project in fiscal year 2027, a seven-year mega-infrastructure initiative.
This permanent structural solution aims to mitigate recurrent central plains flooding by diverting water from the Chao Phraya River directly into the Gulf of Thailand, significantly reducing flow to major cities like Ayutthaya and Bangkok.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul justifies the long-term investment as a means to reduce future damages and fiscal burdens, contrasting it with the 40-50 billion baht spent annually on short-term flood relief.
Concurrently, the Prime Minister instructed officials to expand drainage capacity into the Tha Chin River and swiftly remove water hyacinths to improve immediate flood management.
