Thailand officially lists new fossil site in Lopburi

Today 11:38Key points summarised by AI

Thailand officially designated Khao Somphot in Lopburi province, home to the Alatoconchid Bivalve Fossil Site, as its 29th national fossil site.
This listing aims to develop the site into a national geological research and learning center, promote geological tourism, and generate economic benefits for the local community through an approved integrated development plan.

Thailand's government pushes the Entertainment Complex Bill to legalize casinos within integrated resorts, aiming to significantly boost tourism and economic growth.
Critics raise alarms over the bill's loopholes, citing a lack of transparency in licensing, unspecified casino sizes or fees, and excessive power granted to a government-led committee.
Opponents fear the unchecked expansion of casinos will fuel gambling addiction, money laundering, and widespread social issues, demanding stronger safeguards, public referendums, and limits on casino numbers.
