Three suburban Bangkok electric train lines (Orange, Yellow, Pink) are over 90% complete, with the Pink Line set for trial runs in January and full operation by mid-2023.
Officials are actively testing the Yellow Line's systems for safety, and completed road spaces beneath the elevated lines will be reopened to traffic.
European protests could raise costs for Thai exporters
Yesterday 17:46Key points summarised by AI
The Commerce Ministry warns that ongoing protests across six European countries, driven by cost-of-living concerns, could weaken consumer purchasing power, disrupt logistics, and elevate costs for Thai exporters.
Thai exporters are advised to closely monitor developments, explore alternative markets (ASEAN, South Asia, Middle East), and adjust shipping routes to reduce dependence on Europe and mitigate potential risks.
