20 Sept 01:30 Key points summarised by AI

A bus carrying 47 students and teachers on a study tour crashed into a sugarcane truck in Nakhon Ratchasima, killing the bus driver and injuring all passengers.
The accident occurred at night when the Bangkok-bound bus collided with the rear of a truck crossing lanes.
This incident follows a similar fatal student tour accident last year, intensifying concerns about the safety of night-time travel for students.
Existing guidelines from the Office of the Basic Education Commission explicitly prohibit night-time travel for students and mandate strict safety protocols for routes, vehicles, and drivers.

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).
