PCD orders removal of 20 tonnes of illegally dumped data centre construction waste in Rayong
Today 15:08Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Pollution Control Department (PCD) confirmed the illegal dumping of approximately 20 tonnes of construction waste from a data centre project in Rayong, refuting initial reports of a much larger volume.
Authorities have ordered the prompt removal of the waste by licensed operators within seven days and will assess whether the data centre project requires an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for full legal compliance.
Bangkok tightens security in tourist hubs popular with Israelis
Today 15:10Key points summarised by AI
Thailand has heightened security in major tourist destinations, especially those popular with Israeli visitors, in response to recent US-Iran strikes on Israel.
Security forces have been deployed in areas like Mae Hong Son's Pai district, which hosts thousands of Israelis, with local residents urged to report any suspicious activities.
Enhanced security measures also extend to other foreign tourist hotspots and US facilities in Chiang Mai, including the US Consulate General.
Israel's National Security Council issued a global warning, advising its citizens abroad to exercise extreme caution, avoid sharing real-time location details, and be vigilant at Israeli or Jewish-associated events without proper security.
