Thailand experienced a surge in COVID-19 infections, reporting 1,880 cases and 11 deaths between May 5th and 11th, largely attributed to the easily transmissible KP.2 (FLiRT) sub-variant.
Despite the increase, most patients exhibit mild symptoms; however, health officials are closely monitoring the situation, particularly for vulnerable groups like the elderly and those with underlying health conditions.

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).
