Cold season may arrive in mid-November, last just a month

21 Sept 02:38 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's cold season is expected to begin in mid-November, approximately two weeks later than typical, and is projected to last for only about one month.
The Meteorological Department has not yet officially declared the cold season due to a weak cold front from China, with temperatures not consistently falling below 24oC.
This delay in the cold season's arrival may impact water resource management and agriculture, as planning for these typically occurs in November.

Bai Lu meet-and-greet cancelled days after China’s safety warning

Yesterday 15:28 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
