Vajira Hospital resumes out-patient services today

10 Sept 12:59 Key points summarised by AI

Vajira Hospital reopens out-patient services today after a temporary closure caused by a massive sinkhole appearing on Samsen Road.
Hospital officials confirm all buildings, including the multi-story Dipangkorn Rasmijoti and Petcharat structures, are structurally sound and unaffected by the nearby subsidence.
The suspension was a precautionary measure to facilitate the movement of heavy machinery for sinkhole repairs and prevent traffic congestion for the approximately 4,000 daily out-patients.

Lamphun in a New Light

Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
